Steppes Hill, Langton Matravers, Swanage BH19

Set at the head of a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of Langton Matravers, Little Garth is a detached three-bedroom home offering well-balanced accommodation, good privacy and open countryside views. The property has been tastefully updated by the current owners and is well suited to those looking for a peaceful location within easy reach of both Swanage and Wareham.

The spacious entrance hall leads down a few steps to a generous living area filled with natural light. A central double-sided fireplace with a log burner subtly separates two zones, a cosy sitting space with large patio doors and a more open morning area, ideal for relaxing or reading. From here, further steps lead to the dining area, where full-height glazing captures attractive views across the Purbeck Hills and also has double patio doors with access to the deck.

The kitchen has been modernised and includes a breakfast area and a separate utility room area and boot room from which you gain entrance to the garage. There are three good-sized double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, along with a family bathroom and an additional shower room, both updated in a timeless, neutral style.

Outside, the wraparound garden is well established and a third of an acre, with a mix of lawn, mature planting, and a paved terrace. To the side of the garden is a viewpoint that has an existing 5×3m concrete base that captures full sunshine, but would be the ideal foundation on which to build a summer house or office/gym. A private gate at the rear leads onto open fields and walking routes across the Purbecks.

The property is set back from the road and includes a generous driveway and an integral double garage.

Location

Langton Matravers sits in the heart of the Isle of Purbeck and is well placed for access to Swanage, just 2.5 miles away, and Wareham, which is around 9 miles distant and offers mainline rail links to London Waterloo. The surrounding area is part of the Jurassic Coast and designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Little Garth offers a rare combination of space, light and setting, in a village that continues to be one of the most desirable in the area.
