This attractive mid-terraced family house is situated in one of the oldest parts of Swanage, approximately one mile from the town centre and yet within easy reach of a local convenience store, schools and open country. It is thought to have been built during the latter part of the 19th Century and is constructed of Purbeck stone, the upper elevation being cement rendered with a pebbledash finish under a stone tiled roof (replaced in 2023) at the front and a slate roof at the rear.
218 High Street offers well presented, spacious accommodation with views across the town to the Purbeck Hills from the first floor. It also has the considerable advantage of an attractively landscaped enclosed rear garden.
The seaside town of Swanage is located at the Eastern tip of the Isle of Purbeck, delightfully situated between the Purbeck Hills.
