This is an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family residence set in an excellent elevated position in a fine residential area on the Southern slopes of Swanage, within easy reach of Durlston Country Park and the Townsend Nature Reserve. It is thought to have been built during the mid-1960s and has external elevations of natural Purbeck stone with part cement render, the upper elevations being cedar clad under a pitched roof with concrete tiles.
12 Bon Accord Road is set well back from the road and is approached by a private driveway and has attractive landscaped gardens of approximately half an acre. It offers particularly spacious well planned family accommodation and has the advantage of a South facing balcony and a detached double garage with utility and store.
The seaside town of Swanage is located at the Eastern tip of the Isle of Purbeck, delightfully situated between the Purbeck Hills. It has a safe, sandy beach and walkers and cyclists can enjoy the South West Coast Path as well as access to The Durlston Country Park. Swanage is some 10 miles from the market town of Wareham, which has main line rail links to London Waterloo (approx 2.5 hours). Much of the area surrounding the town is classified as being of Outstanding Natural Beauty, incorporating the Jurassic Coast, which is part of the World Heritage Coastline.
