Description

This detached bungalow is discreetly positioned within a desirable residential area located just off Victoria Avenue, approximately three-quarters of a mile from both the town center and the seafront. Constructed in the 1960s with traditional cavity wall methods and a combination of stone plinth and cement render, the property features a pitched roof covered with interlocking concrete tiles. While the home requires some updating, it offers ample space and thoughtfully designed living areas that present significant renovation and investment opportunities. The south-facing rear garden provides a pleasant outdoor space, complemented by a spacious attached garage and off-road parking. There is potential to expand living accommodations into the first floor, subject to obtaining necessary planning permissions and adhering to building regulations. This property is located in Swanage, a charming seaside resort nestled at the eastern tip of the Isle of Purbeck. The area boasts a stunning sandy beach along with an appealing mix of historic stone cottages and modern properties. Nearby Durlston Country Park serves as a gateway to the Jurassic Coast, noted for its natural beauty and World Heritage designation. Upon entering, you are greeted by a central hall leading into generous living spaces. The dual-aspect living room features a Purbeck stone fireplace with an electric fire insert and opens through wide sliding doors into a conservatory bathed in sunlight, which has direct access to the rear garden. The kitchen comes equipped with various units and has provisions for freestanding appliances. The bungalow includes two well-sized double bedrooms; the principal bedroom faces the front of the property while the second bedroom enjoys southern exposure. A bathroom fitted with a white suite completes this accommodation. Outside, there is an easy-to-maintain brick paved driveway leading to the large garage, enabling convenient off-road parking. The front garden features mature shrub beds that enhance its appeal. At the back, the south-facing garden is primarily laid to lawn with surrounding shrubs for privacy—a perfect canvas for landscaping enthusiasts or those wishing to create their own outdoor retreat. Additionally, solar panels installed on the roof provide an approximate annual income of £700. With all mains services connected and situated in an attractive location near local amenities, this property holds considerable potential for those looking to invest or renovate into their ideal home.
