This is a rare opportunity to acquire a superior traditional Purbeck stone cottage situated in a fine rural setting, comprising a small cluster of similar dwellings outside of the hamlet of Acton, adjoining open country. It is thought to date back to the late 1800s, a 2 storey rear extension having been added in 1991, and is of stone construction under a stone tiled roof.

It enjoys good views over the surrounding open countryside to the sea in the distance and also has the considerable advantage of a good sized landscaped garden and ample off-road parking.

The popular seaside resort of Swanage is some 3 miles distant, and the historic village of Corfe Castle is about 4 miles away. The market town of Wareham has main line rail link to London Waterloo (approx. 2.5 hours).
