Description

This generous detached bungalow is situated in a desirable residential neighborhood, just a short distance from the town centre and conveniently close to local amenities including shops, schools, and the scenic Townsend Nature Reserve. Constructed around 1964 with traditional cavity wall methods, it features a brick plinth and rendered upper elevations beneath a pitched roof with interlocking concrete tiles and flat secondary roofs that are likely to have mineral felt coverings. Offering expansive accommodation, this property boasts picturesque views of Swanage Bay, Ballard Down, and the surrounding Purbeck Hills. While it requires modernization, there is significant potential for improvement and further development, particularly regarding the attic room which has been partially converted but may lack formal Building Regulations approval—this presents an opportunity for enhancement subject to obtaining necessary planning permissions. The bungalow includes a spacious hallway leading into an ample living room that features a classic wooden fire surround and sliding doors that open into a conservatory with lovely views. The kitchen is equipped with light-colored cabinetry complemented by contrasting worktops, along with an integrated electric hob and oven. Additional utility space connects conveniently to both the conservatory and garden. Accommodations include two well-proportioned bedrooms located at the front of the house; the principal bedroom offers generous dimensions while the second bedroom also comfortably accommodates. A shower room fitted with modern fixtures and a cloakroom complete this practical layout. Outside, the property benefits from a front lawn surrounded by shrub borders and a concrete driveway leading to an attached garage along with off-road parking. The rear garden provides ample outdoor space featuring distant sea views, predominantly laid to lawn alongside paved areas and mature shrubs—ideal for landscape redevelopment or enhancement. This property represents an excellent investment opportunity for those looking to create their ideal home in a tranquil setting within proximity to coastal attractions.
