This substantial detached chalet style residence stands in an excellent position just off Rabling Road, about one third of a mile from the town centre and beach. It was built during the 1960s and is of traditional cavity construction with a Purbeck stone plinth to the front elevation, the remainder being cement rendered under a pitched roof covered with concrete interlocking tiles.
Larkhill offers spacious, well planned accommodation which enjoys fine southerly views over the town and is eminently suitable as a family home, retirement property or multi-generational living. It also has the considerable advantage of a ground floor double bedroom, good sized South facing front garden, a detached garage and off-road parking for several vehicles.
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 cottages and more modern properties, all of which blend in well with the peaceful surroundings. To the South is Durlston Country Park renowned for being the gateway to the Jurassic Coast and World Heritage Coastline.
You are welcomed to Larkhill by the spacious, L-shaped entrance hall which is central to the accommodation. Leading off, the large open-plan, dual aspect living room/dining room spans the entire depth of the property and has a large picture window to the front enjoying fine southerly views across the town. The kitchen is fitted with a range of cream units, complementing worktops and integrated electric oven and hob. There is access to the utility room which in turn leads to the garden at the rear. The South facing principal bedroom is located on the ground floor and enjoys similar views to the living room. The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite including bath and a separate corner shower cubicle.
