Description

This link-detached chalet-style house, constructed in the mid-to-late 1960s using Purbeck stone, offers a solid foundation for renovation and investment opportunities. Set within a shared courtyard with a former car repair and servicing garage—now on the market for sale—the property is conveniently located approximately three-quarters of a mile from Swanage town center. This location provides easy access to scenic countryside walks, enhancing its appeal to both potential residents and investors. Inside, the property boasts spacious rooms that lend themselves well to modern updates. While it currently requires internal refurbishment, it features a well-laid-out floor plan that includes an entrance hall with parquet flooring and a useful under-stairs cupboard. The kitchen, equipped with essential appliances and ample storage options, connects seamlessly to the garden via a part-glazed door. The lounge presents a warm and inviting space characterized by a Purbeck stone open fireplace and double-glazed doors leading out to the garden area, making it ideal for entertaining or family gatherings. The first floor consists of three bedrooms, each with unique features such as built-in wardrobes and views of the surrounding hills. The separate W.C. and bathroom offer further utility, albeit in need of modernization. Externally, the property benefits from hardstanding parking in front of the house along with a garage featuring power and lighting—ideal for storage or as a workshop space. The rear courtyard-style garden is enclosed by charming Purbeck stone walls and provides an opportunity for landscaping enhancements or outdoor living improvements. With its structural integrity intact and situated in an area ripe for development (including potential conversion opportunities related to the adjoining garage), this property presents an advantageous investment proposition. Whether looking to create a family home or capitalize on rental demand in this desirable location, this house offers flexibility to adapt to various needs while also being close to local amenities.
