This substantial detached house is well situated in a fine rural position on the southern outskirts of the village of Harmans Cross and some 300 metres from the centre of the village. It is thought to have been constructed during the mid 20th Century although altered and extended in more recent years. It has external walls of natural Purbeck stone, under a pitched roof covered with plain tiles with flat secondary roof.
“The Firs” stands in a large garden which extends to approximately two thirds of an acre (0.256 of a hectare) and adjoins open country at the rear. There is scope to create a second property within the existing garden, subject to planning consent. A pre-planning application has been submitted to Dorset Council; a response is anticipated shortly.
The village of Harmans Cross lies in the heart of the Isle of Purbeck, some 2.5 miles from the seaside resort of Swanage and a similar distance from the historic village of Corfe Castle. It has a large modern village hall and the popular railway station serving Corfe Castle to Swanage all year round. Beaches at Studland and Swanage and the market town of Wareham are some 8 miles distant, the latter having mainline train service to London Waterloo. Much of the surrounding area is classified as being of Outstanding Natural Beauty and incorporates a World Heritage Coastline.
