This Grade II Listed mid-terraced stone cottage is nestled in one of the oldest areas of Swanage, offering a unique blend of historic charm and potential for modern living. Situated just a mile from the town center, the property boasts proximity to local amenities, schools, and stunning open countryside, making it an appealing location for both residents and investors.
With two bedrooms, this character-rich home features original fireplaces and beamed ceilings that highlight its historical significance. The interior is ripe for renovation; while it currently requires updating throughout, it presents a blank canvas for those looking to enhance its features and make it their own. An attic room adds to the living space options, providing further scope for development.
The inviting living room greets you with its period details, leading into a compact kitchen awaiting a refresh. Access to the enclosed rear courtyard garden is available from here, which offers a low-maintenance outdoor space framed by traditional stone walling. A practical shower room rounds out the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor, two double bedrooms await. The front-facing bedroom retains an original fireplace and exposed beams that add character, while the second bedroom overlooks the garden and includes fitted cupboards for convenient storage.
The west-facing rear garden provides a private retreat, enclosed by stone walls—ideal for those seeking a tranquil outdoor area amid the hustle of modern life. A stone-built outbuilding offers additional storage options or potential for conversion.
As an investment opportunity, this property stands out due to its location within Swanage at the eastern tip of the Isle of Purbeck. The surrounding area is classified as Outstanding Natural Beauty and is part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. With easy access to coastal pathways and nearby Durlston Country Park, this cottage not only offers substantial renovation potential but also positions itself within a sought-after destination known for its natural beauty and recreational offerings.
Mains services are connected, with gas-fired central heating already in place—a solid foundation from which to begin your renovations. Viewing is available strictly by appointment through Sole Agents Corbens. Council tax band C applies to this property.
