This penthouse apartment, positioned on the fourth floor of a well-regarded purpose-built block, offers an excellent opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. Located centrally in Swanage, the apartment is just a short stroll from both the main shopping area and the beach, making it an appealing choice for those seeking both convenience and coastal charm.
Constructed in the early 1960s using brick and part Purbeck stone, the building has seen improvements such as a new flat roof and enhanced insulation. Despite requiring some updates to bring it to modern standards, this space benefits from lift access and includes a single garage—features that add value and convenience.
The apartment is designed to capitalize on its stunning surroundings, with principal rooms offering breathtaking views over Swanage Bay towards the Isle of Wight. A generously sized wrap-around roof terrace provides ample outdoor space for relaxation or entertaining while enjoying panoramic vistas of the sea and Purbeck Hills—a rare benefit that enhances its appeal.
Inside, you'll find a spacious entrance hall that leads into various living areas, including a sizeable living room highlighted by large picture windows showcasing outstanding views. The kitchen features light wood cabinetry paired with contrasting worktops and offers space for a breakfast table. Additionally, there’s a separate utility/WC.
The two double bedrooms are of equal size, each equipped with recessed wardrobes. Both rooms feature views of Swanage Bay and direct access to the expansive roof terrace from one bedroom. A spacious bathroom completes the interior layout, featuring both a panelled bath and separate shower cubicle.
Outside, the extensive roof terrace (approximately 91m²) stands out as an impressive feature that can be transformed into a private oasis with some thoughtful landscaping and design. The property's single garage at the rear provides useful storage or parking options.
With its prime location near Durlston Country Park—famous for its connection to the Jurassic Coast—and easy access to local amenities and transport links (including direct train services to London), this property presents not only a desirable home but also an excellent investment opportunity. Long lets are permitted within this shared freehold structure, enhancing its rental potential in this sought-after seaside town.
