Description

This semi-detached bungalow is nestled at the end of a quiet residential cul-de-sac on the western outskirts of Swanage, approximately one and a half miles from the town center and beach. The location affords convenient access to open countryside, local schools, and various amenities, making it an appealing spot for families or those seeking a peaceful retreat. Constructed in the mid-1970s, the property showcases traditional cavity wall construction with a charming front elevation of natural Purbeck stone complemented by cement render on other sides. The slightly dated interior presents an excellent opportunity for renovation, allowing potential buyers to personalize the space according to their tastes and preferences. Natural light floods the south-facing living room through a large picture window, enhanced by a Purbeck stone fire surround that serves as a focal point. The kitchen, located at the rear of the house, overlooks the garden and is equipped with essential cabinetry and worktops. This layout offers great potential for modernization or expansion, particularly for those interested in creating an open-plan living area. The bungalow comprises three bedrooms: two spacious doubles and a single. The principal bedroom benefits from southern exposure while offering some views of the Purbeck Hills. Bedroom two also provides scenic glimpses among the trees, while bedroom three maintains similar vistas. Completing this level are a bathroom fitted with a classic suite and a separate WC. Outside, the property features an inviting front garden primarily laid to lawn with established flower and shrub borders. A concrete driveway accommodates parking for two vehicles and leads to a double-length garage—a valuable asset for storage or as an additional workspace. The rear garden is generously sized, predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by mature hedging, ensuring privacy. A secluded paved patio area invites outdoor gatherings or quiet moments spent enjoying nature. Swanage offers diverse amenities alongside its picturesque sandy beaches and historic charm. This property's proximity to Durlston Country Park enhances its appeal further as it provides access to beautiful coastal walks along the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. In summary, 17 Alderbury Close represents not only a family home but also an opportunity for thoughtful renovation in a desirable area with considerable investment potential.
