Description

This generously proportioned detached bungalow is nestled in a peaceful residential area just off Victoria Avenue, a short distance from the town centre and seafront. Built in the 1960s with traditional cavity construction, it features a stone plinth and cement-rendered exterior beneath a pitched roof with concrete interlocking tiles. While the property requires updating, it offers an excellent layout and ample space, including a south-facing rear garden, large attached garage, and off-road parking. There is potential to expand by converting the first floor (subject to planning permission and building regulations). Swanage, located at the eastern tip of the Isle of Purbeck, boasts stunning natural surroundings with a safe sandy beach and an appealing mix of old stone cottages alongside modern homes. The nearby Durlston Country Park serves as an entry point to the Jurassic Coast, renowned for its breathtaking scenery. Upon entering, you are welcomed into a central hall that connects to well-sized living areas ideal for both families and retirees. The dual-aspect living room features a Purbeck stone fireplace with an electric fire, while wide sliding doors lead to a conservatory that opens onto the south-facing garden. The kitchen includes several units with space for freestanding appliances. The accommodation includes two spacious double bedrooms; the principal bedroom faces the front, while the second takes advantage of southern light. A bathroom fitted with a white suite completes this bungalow's offering. Outside, the property boasts a brick-paved driveway leading to a sizeable attached garage alongside off-road parking options. Mature shrub beds enhance curb appeal in front while the private rear garden primarily consists of lawn bordered by hedges. Additionally, solar panels on the roof provide an estimated income of £700 per year. All mains services are connected and council tax is assessed in Band D at approximately £2,689.44 for 2025/2026.
