This EXCEPTIONAL DETACHED RESIDENCE is set in an elevated position in the village of Kingston, two miles to the south of the renowned village of Corfe Castle and five miles west of Swanage. "Spangle Cottage", a spacious THREE BEDROOM property sits proudly above the valley and possesses the most WONDERFUL and PANORAMIC VIEWS to Corfe Castle and the Purbeck Hills both to the West and East. Kingston is a cluster of Purbeck stone cottages with the well-loved "Scott Arms" which dates from the 1780' and the ancient and noteworthy St James' Church central to the village. Swyre Head and Jurassic Coastline pathways to the South are within a short distance.
The property, approached along "The Lane", was constructed with hardy, local Purbeck stone and stone roof in around 2010 and and the house blends well with the landscape. Internally, it has spacious and very well appointed accommodation with features such as oak beams and staircase, wooden latch doors and stripped wood floors all adding to the property's character.
Enter by the oak front door and into a spacious hallway with the principal reception rooms to the left and right. Turn right into the heart of the house and an 'L'shaped Dining Room and Kitchen presents triple aspect "cottage" windows plus skylights allowing maximum light to spill in. The outlook is either afar to the hills and countryside or onto the surrounding garden. The cabinetry to the traditional, country-style kitchen as well as wood beams and wood burner set in a brick fireplace adds to the cosy ambience of this spacious room.
The beautifully arranged kitchen boasts integral appliances beneath a granite worktop including hob with double oven under, an inset 'butler' sink; a kitchen island/breakfast bar sits centrally in the kitchen and to one side, the scullery with a door to a paved and sheltered lower terrace with steps leading to the upper terrace and rear garden.
Returning through the dining room and hallway, opposite is a homely Living Room with the focus towards a large Purbeck Stone fireplace accommodating a wood burner. French doors open onto the westerly facing and paved lower terrace, a sheltered spot ideal for evening drinks with friends.
A polished wood staircase, lit by a skylight, rises and turns to reach the first floor bedrooms. The Main Bedroom has dual aspect windows from which to admire the views and a large walk-in wardrobe provides ample storage space. A contemporary and stylish en suite shower room with combined wood and granite effect ware comprises a large shower cubicle, table top sink and WC.
Bedroom Two and Bedroom Three are both double rooms with a gorgeous countryside view. Built-in wardrobes provide excellent storage space, and the simplicity of these rooms add to their charm. Bedroom Three could easily provide a quiet room suitable as a study or office or nursery.
A family bathroom, with tasteful and subtle decor serves these two rooms and comprises an old-style stand-alone bath, washbasin and WC. On the ground floor from the hallway, an additional Shower Room, with shower, wash basin and WC, convenient on the occasion that guests visit and the lounge used as sleeping quarters.
Outside the mainly westerly facing garden is beautifully arranged and landscaped and on several tiered levels, with a meandering stone wall, paved, lawned and shrub areas. Finally, a gravelled driveway is accessed through a five bar gate and provides space for several vehicles.
