Description

This detached bungalow presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment, nestled in a peaceful cul-de-sac just under a mile from the town center and approximately 500 meters from the picturesque Townsend Nature Reserve. With its well-defined layout and generous living spaces, this property is not only easy to maintain but also offers considerable potential for those looking to enhance its value. Constructed in the 1980s, the home features a combination of Purbeck stone at the front and cement-rendered walls with a Tyrolean finish beneath a concrete-tiled roof. A notable advantage is the possibility of extending the living space by converting the existing garage, subject to planning permission, allowing for customization that aligns with future needs or market demands. Swanage, located at the eastern tip of the Isle of Purbeck, provides an attractive blend of traditional stone cottages and modern homes set against a backdrop of stunning natural landscapes. The nearby Townsend Nature Reserve serves as an entry point to the Jurassic Coast World Heritage site, making this location particularly appealing for nature lovers, walkers, and wildlife enthusiasts. The spacious entrance hall leads into a bright living room featuring a charming Purbeck stone fireplace and large double-glazed sliding doors that open up to a conservatory. This area seamlessly connects to a west-facing paved rear garden, promoting an indoor-outdoor lifestyle perfect for entertaining or family gatherings. The kitchen/breakfast room overlooks this garden as well and is equipped with essential appliances along with ample workspace—a solid foundation for any culinary enthusiast to build upon. The accommodation includes two generously-sized double bedrooms, both equipped with fitted wardrobes, providing comfortable living spaces that are ready for personalization. The family bathroom rounds out the interior layout. Outside, the low-maintenance front garden includes shrub borders and a brick-paved driveway capable of accommodating up to three vehicles while leading directly into the integral garage—currently featuring plumbing that could be repurposed for various uses. The rear garden is enclosed by fencing and features mature shrubs, adding privacy and potential greenery enhancements. Overall, this bungalow stands as an excellent canvas for those interested in investing in real estate or creating their ideal home through thoughtful renovations. With its strategic location close to local amenities and natural attractions, it represents significant potential in today’s property market.
