This superb penthouse apartment is situated on the fourth floor of a popular purpose built block in the centre of Swanage, approximately 150 metres from the main shopping thoroughfare and a similar distance from the beach. The building was constructed in the early 1960s of brick with part Purbeck stone under a flat roof covering which has been replaced and the insulation substantially improved.
30 Mowlem Court commands magnificent views across Swanage Bay to the Isle of Wight in the distance from the principal rooms and a large secluded wrap-around roof terrace enjoys panoramic views of the sea and Purbeck Hills. Whilst in need of some updating the apartment does have the considerable advantage of lift access and a single garage.
The seaside resort of Swanage lies at the eastern tip of the Isle of Purbeck, delightfully situated between the Purbeck Hills. It has a fine, safe, sandy beach, and is an attractive mixture of old stone cottage and more modern properties. To the South is the Durlston Country Park renowned for being the gateway to the Jurassic Coast and World Heritage Coastline. The market town of Wareham which has main line rail link to London Waterloo (approx. 2.5 hours) is some 9 miles distant with the conurbation of Poole and Bournemouth being in easy reach via the Sandbanks ferry.
The spacious entrance hall with second sitting area and sliding doors opening to the rooftop terrace, welcomes you to this penthouse apartment. The large living room has an attractive modern fire surround and a large picture window giving magnificent views over Swanage Bay.
