Description

This semi-detached house is situated in a slightly elevated position, conveniently located just off the High Street and only 200 metres from the charming Mill Pond and Parish Church. Built in the mid-19th century, the exterior features brick construction with a cement render under a durable concrete tiled roof, reflecting its historical character. The accommodation spans three floors, offering good views over Swanage Bay and the Purbeck Hills from the upper levels. The layout includes a compact but functional kitchen at the rear, providing access to a separate south-facing paved garden. While the home requires updating throughout, this presents an opportunity for renovation to enhance its charm and functionality. Inside, the spacious living room features a Purbeck stone fireplace, adding warmth and character to the space. The first floor contains a sizable landing with a linen cupboard and a double bedroom that enjoys pleasant views over town towards the sea and hills. The family bathroom on this level includes essential fixtures such as a panelled bath with an electric shower. The principal bedroom occupies the second floor, distinguished by its light-filled triple-aspect windows that frame panoramic vistas of both Swanage Bay and the surrounding hills. Outdoor space includes a small paved area at the front of the property, along with a side pathway leading to a secluded rear courtyard garden, which includes an additional workshop – ideal for storage or creative projects. Located within easy reach of local amenities and just 9 miles from Wareham—a market town with direct train links to London Waterloo—this property not only benefits from its proximity to stunning coastal landscapes but also holds significant investment potential through modernization efforts. The nearby Durlston Country Park enhances recreational opportunities and contributes to the area's appeal as part of the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline. This inviting property offers both comfort and potential in one of Dorset’s most picturesque seaside towns.
