Situated in one of Swanage’s most sought-after residential areas, this impressive detached family home occupies a generous plot within easy reach of the town centre, beach and countryside walks. Thought to have been built during the 1950s, although considerably extended and altered in more recent times, it is of traditional cavity construction, externally cement rendered under a pitched roof covered with tiles.
Beautifully presented throughout, 17 Beach Gardens has been extensively modernised, including solar panels, to provide spacious and versatile accommodation, together with an integral garage, attractive landscaped gardens and ample off-road parking, making it ideally suited as a permanent family home or a coastal retreat.
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 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.
Stepping inside, the covered porch leads to a welcoming entrance hall. To the front of the property is a spacious sitting room enjoying a pleasant outlook, whilst the substantial living room features a bay window and provides an ideal space for family living and entertaining. The impressive kitchen/dining room extends across the rear of the property and forms the heart of the home. Fitted with a comprehensive range of contemporary units and incorporating a central island, the room offers ample space for dining and entertaining with direct access to the rear garden.
