This superior detached chalet bungalow is well presented throughout and quietly situated in a highly desirable location on the southern slopes of Swanage and within easy reach of Durlston Country Park. Built in the 1950s, it is constructed of brick under a tiled roof.
Generously proportioned living spaces make this an ideal choice for a family home or coastal getaway. There are good views of the sea and the Purbeck Hills in the distance from the first floor bedroom suite. The attractive landscaped garden is a particular feature designed for relaxed outdoor living all year round. There is a shepherds hut in the front garden and a versatile cabin at the rear. The latter is perfect as a studio or home office, providing a peaceful workspace away from the main residence. Planning permission has been granted to add a conservatory at the rear and for the first floor to be extended and remodelled to form two bedrooms, one with glazed verandah.
