Welcome to Dollings Barn Studio. This character laden detached home rests just a short walk (circa half a mile) from the iconic ruins of Corfe Castle and the village centre.
According to a previous occupant, the property was originally built as a Thatched Farmhouse with attached Barn in 1699. That date was once visible on the Dolling Stone that was incorporated into the walls of the house. The original house was subject to a major fire around 1931 and was largely rebuilt, contributing to the lack of listing today.
The current dwelling offers flexible accommodation over two floors. A double-glazed CONSERVATORY overlooks the WESTERLY FACING garden, this leads through to the BREAKFAST ROOM (facing the garden) in turn leading through to the KITCHEN / UTILITY, fitted with a gas hob, electric oven, space / plumbing for washing machine and a range of eye and base level units. Beyond this is the ENTRANCE HALL with flagstone floor, window and glazed door to rear, built in cupboards housing the gas fired boiler and access to a CLOAKROOM with high level flush W.C, butler's sink, exposed stone wall and windows to side and rear.
The former Barn is now a gracious KITCHEN DINING ROOM giving wonderful entertaining space with a timbered, vaulted ceiling. A gas fired AGA keeps everything cosy, whilst a range of modern Shaker style wall and base level kitchen units provide ample storage, a fitted gas hob and a traditional style porcelain sink drainer unit are also fitted. All overlooked by a GALLERIED LANDING that offers access to a spacious DOUBLE BEDROOM with floorboards and exposed stone walls. Also to be found just off the kitchen dining room is the current STUDIO ROOM, with floor to ceiling window facing the garden, beamed ceiling, exposed stone door opening, quarry tiled floor and access to a SHOWER ROOM with beamed ceiling, shower cubicle, w.c, wash hand basin and two intriguing stone niches. In the centre of the property can be found a RECEPTION ROOM benefiting from an open fireplace with a large INGLENOOK beam over, stone flag and parquet flooring. The Reception Room leads into the INNER HALL / LIBRARY with Georgian style staircase, parquet flooring and a wall of built in bookshelves.
Beyond the Inner Hall / Library is a further RECEPTION ROOM or FOURTH BEDROOM that has French doors leading to the garden, built in bookshelves along one wall, as well as a modern vanity unit with basin. On the FIRST FLOOR a LANDING (with window and loft access) leads to the PRINCIPAL DOUBLE BEDROOM with built in wardrobes, windows to both front and rear, whilst the SECOND DOUBLE BEDROOM also benefits from built in wardrobes and an outlook over the garden. A FAMILY BATHROOM services these two bedrooms.
Outside
Immediately to the side of Dollings Barn Studio you will find EXTENSIVE DRIVEWAY PARKING for four plus vehicles, a modern detached Stone Built DOUBLE GARAGE with up and over Electric Door, light and power all under a pitched roof. A further SINGLE LEAN-TO GARAGE / SHED is adjacent to this, as well as a substantial DETACHED TIMBER SHED. The WESTERLY FACING REAR GARDEN is certainly a feature to the property. The majority of the garden is enclosed by stone walls, with timber fencing on the remainder and also offers access to the garaging via rear doors. An expansive LAWN is interspersed with a variety of mature, stocked flower beds and patio areas along with a timber gardening shed and further raised flower beds to the side.
Location
On your doorstep lies the Jurassic Coast the breathtaking World Heritage Site of fossil-rich beaches and iconic cliffs perfect for scenic walks along the South West Coast Path. Corfe Castle is amongst 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 charming 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, as well as a model village. Sitting between the riverside town of Wareham and the stunning beaches at Swanage and Studland, this is the land of Enid Blyton stories.
