Description

This four-bedroom, semi-detached house offers significant renovation and investment potential in a prime location just a short stroll from Swanage’s town center and stunning beach. With two reception rooms and a flexible layout, the property presents an excellent opportunity for families or investors alike. Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious hall that leads to the main living areas, with stairs ascending to the first floor. The living room is designed for versatility, featuring ample space for various furniture arrangements, a charming feature fireplace with a wood-burning stove, and a large bay window that floods the room with natural light. Adjacent to this space is a second reception or dining room, also complete with a wood-burning stove and access to the garden—ideal for entertaining or as an additional living area. The kitchen is functional yet ripe for modern updates. It includes base and wall storage units, generous counter space, and provisions for essential appliances such as an electric oven with a five-ring gas hob, alongside an inset sink. A practical utility area increases functionality further by providing plumbing options for laundry machines. On the first floor, you'll find two double bedrooms alongside a well-appointed bathroom featuring both a bath and separate shower enclosure. The larger of the two bedrooms benefits from another bay window and retains charming original details throughout. Ascending to the second floor reveals two additional spacious double bedrooms; one boasts ample natural light from its dormer window. The exterior of the property includes a sizable driveway offering off-road parking while providing access to both the rear garden and garage/outbuilding for additional storage needs. The enclosed back garden is generously sized and presents possibilities for landscaping or further development. Situated in Swanage—a beloved seaside resort known for its rich local amenities including shops, restaurants, reputable schools, parks, and picturesque beaches—the property emphasizes both convenience and recreational appeal. The area is characterized by its scenic walks along the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. Given its considerable size and layout flexibility, this property holds great potential as a house in multiple occupation (HMO), subject to obtaining necessary permissions. Furthermore, there exists potential within the garden space that could be leveled to create an additional building plot (also subject to planning permission). This residence not only offers immediate comfort but also invites creative vision for future enhancement in one of Dorset's most sought-after locations.
