Immaculately presented, this character apartment occupies the ground floor of a substantial semi-detached house in an elevated position at South West Swanage. Amongst its many highlights are the private entrance, South facing courtyard garden and good views over Swanage Bay and the Purbeck Hills. The house is well located about one third of a mile from the town centre and some 300 metres from the Townsend Nature Reserve and slightly further from Durlston Country Park.
The original building is thought to have been constructed during the first quarter of the 20th Century, although converted into two flats in the early 1980s. It is of traditional brick construction with stone quoins under a pitched roof covered with slate tiles.
The seaside resort of Swanage lies at the eastern tip of the Isle of Purbeck, delightfully surrounded by the Purbeck Hills. It has a fine, safe, sandy beach, and is an attractive mixture of old stone cottages 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 entrance hall welcomes you to this attractive character apartment. Leading off the South facing living room has a door opening to the paved personal courtyard garden, perfectly extending the indoor/outdoor living space. The good sized dual aspect kitchen is fitted with a range of cottage style wood units with contrasting worktops, integrated electric hob, oven and microwave, spaces for fridge, freezer and washing machine.
