This superior detached family residence is well located in a premier residential position standing on the South side of Swanage, and commands fine views of Durlston Bay. It is within easy reach of Durlston Country Park, which is widely considered to be the gateway to the Jurassic Coast, and about three quarters of a mile from the town centre and seafront.
The accommodation has been designed with the principal living accommodation arranged on the upper floor with generous windows to make the most of its elevated position and far-reaching views. It has the considerable advantage of an annex with kitchen and WC on the ground floor at the rear with private entrance. The property was built during the late 1960s of traditional cavity construction with external walls of part Purbeck stone, the remainder being cement rendered, under a pitched roof covered with concrete tiles.
Swanage lies at the eastern tip of the Isle of Purbeck delightfully situated between the Purbeck Hills. It has a fine, 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 the Durlston Country Park renowned for being the gateway to the Jurassic Coast and World Heritage Coastline
