Owners say, "We've loved being in the village while being private and away from the hubbub - it's our retreat! The south-facing garden is where we spend most of the day, and glimpses of the steam train never cease to amuse us."
Welcome to Magnolia. As you draw up to the house, it will strike you as handsome and different from the rest of the village, setting it apart - in more ways than one. Set back and tucked away from the cul-de-sac, the pretty stream-lined garden and house have been home to the current owners for more than 20 years.
Step into the HALLWAY, which greets you with light and feels airy and gracious. A UTILITY/W.C., is handily located to take care of the practicalities of running a home. There is under floor heating in the hallway, utility room and dining room, giving a warm and cosy ambience in the winter months.
To the left, you step into the welcoming SITTING ROOM, the windows open to the front garden and there are French doors opening onto your decked area. Such an easy space to live in and so simple to have family and friends round, spilling out from the house to the garden.
The stone floored DINING ROOM, is an intimate, yet light space to dine in, with French doors opening to the garden at one end. To the other end of the room, there is space for comfy seating and a door to the rear garden.
The KITCHEN is both generous and comfortable, with shaker style units, plenty of workspaces and storage options. A Belfast sink and a large gas range hob complete the homely vibe.
The STAIRS rise to a generous DOUBLE BEDROOM, with a linen cupboard and views over the rear garden. Then there are a further two DOUBLE BEDROOMS, both generous in light and space with views to the front garden.
The FAMILY BATHROOM, is white, bright and has a bathtub, wash hand basin and W.C.
The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM has a dressing area and an ENSUITE, with shower, W.C and hand wash basin. There are windows to all sides, allowing sunshine to flood the room. A triumph, is the balcony, where you can sit for a morning coffee and watch the fluffy puffs of steam emit from the steam train as it chugs past. A bygone era, that tugs at the heart strings.
There is a hidden set of stairs that lead up to
TWO ROOMS WITH VELUX™ WINDOWS. Currently one is used for storage and the other is used as a dressing room. However, let your imagination go, what would you use the rooms for?
The driveway winds into the GARDEN, however there is extra parking just outside the driveway too.
The garden reaches around the house, and is mostly lawned, interspersed with areas to sit and soak up the sun. This is the kind of garden that looks after itself, practically! There is a fabulous patio area for BBQ and entertaining and the most divine sundowner spot, where you can laze away the last elements of the day, with a glass of something special.
The stream that runs alongside the garden, delivers that magical calming sound of trickling water, as it burbles to the sea.
To the rear of the house, there is a super kitchen garden site, all ready for you to plant and harvest the freshest of herbs. A summer house sits in the corner, waiting for you to relax in, after a day in the garden.
Corfe Castle is certainly one of Dorset's prettiest villages, the castle ruins sitting dramatically on a hill overlooking the village, much of which is made out of the stones from its ruins. The pretty Victorian station is part of the Swanage Heritage Railway, and the steam trains run from Swanage through Corfe to Norden, a magical journey for all ages. The village has a variety of public houses, restaurants, tea shops and eclectic village shops, including a wonderful bakery and village stores. Sitting between the riverside town of Wareham and the stunning beaches at Swanage and Studland, this is the land of Enid Blyton stories.
