Property Summary
A RARE HIDDEN HILLSIDE RETREAT WITH LAND, VIEWS & REMARKABLE POTENTIAL
Tucked away on the idyllic south-facing slopes of Nine Barrow Down, this rare redevelopment opportunity enjoys an exceptional setting within the peaceful hamlet of Knitson, one of Purbeck’s most unspoilt and picturesque locations. Approached via a quiet single-track lane surrounded by rolling countryside, the property offers a unique chance to create an extraordinary home immersed in nature, with far-reaching valley and hill views stretching across the Dorset landscape.
Originally constructed in 1937 as part of a former Second World War Early Listening Station, Meadows occupies a generous wraparound garden plot together with an adjoining paddock of approximately 1.82 acres. The existing detached property offers bright and versatile accommodation including a triple-aspect living room with bay windows and wood-burning stove, an open-plan kitchen/dining room, snug, study and utility room, alongside three well-proportioned bedrooms.
Outside, raised terraces provide wonderful spaces to enjoy the ever-changing countryside outlook, while the mature gardens create a peaceful sanctuary for wildlife and outdoor living. A converted Nissen Hut with power offers excellent potential as a gym, studio or workshop. Across the lane, ample parking and a garage lead directly to the adjoining paddock, a truly special setting offering endless lifestyle and redevelopment possibilities, all within easy reach of Swanage, Corfe Castle and the Jurassic Coast.
