Occupying a peaceful position at the head of a small residential cul-de-sac on the western outskirts of Swanage, this semi-detached bungalow presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-located home within easy reach of both the coast and surrounding countryside. The property lies approximately one and a half miles from Swanage town centre, where a wide range of shops, cafes, and amenities can be found, together with the town’s well-regarded sandy beach. Nearby, there is convenient access to local schools and scenic open countryside, making the location particularly appealing for families, retirees, or those seeking a quieter pace of life by the sea.
Believed to date from the mid-1970s, the property has been constructed in a traditional manner, with cavity walls and a pitched roof clad in interlocking concrete tiles. The front elevation is enhanced by natural Purbeck stone, giving the bungalow a distinctive character, while the remaining elevations are finished in render. Although the property would now benefit from some internal updating, it offers well-proportioned accommodation and provides an excellent canvas for prospective purchasers wishing to personalise a home to their own tastes and requirements.
Internally, the accommodation is sensibly arranged and enjoys a pleasant, light-filled atmosphere throughout. The entrance hall provides access to all principal rooms and creates a welcoming first impression. To the front of the property, the main living room is a particularly bright and comfortable space, benefitting from a large picture window that allows for an abundance of natural light. A Purbeck stone fireplace forms a focal point to the room, adding a sense of character and warmth.
The kitchen is positioned to the rear of the bungalow, overlooking the garden, and is fitted with a range of units and work surfaces. There is also a door providing convenient side access, which may prove particularly useful for day-to-day living or when entertaining outdoors.
The bedroom accommodation comprises three rooms in total. Bedroom One is also a spacious double and enjoys partial views towards the Purbeck Hills through the trees, creating an attractive outlook. The second bedroom is a generously sized double with a pleasant southerly aspect. The third bedroom is a comfortable single, ideal for use as a guest room, study, or hobby space, and benefits from a similar aspect to bedroom two. The bathroom is fitted with a coloured suite, and there is the added convenience of a separate WC.
Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front, the garden is mainly laid to lawn and complemented by established flower and shrub borders, providing a pleasant approach. A concrete driveway offers off-road parking for two vehicles and leads to the attached double-length garage, which provides excellent storage or workshop potential in addition to parking.
The rear garden is of a good size and offers a high degree of privacy, being enclosed by mature hedging and established planting. It is predominantly laid to lawn, with ample space for gardening or recreation, and features a secluded paved patio area, perfect for al fresco dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Overall, this is a well-positioned property with considerable scope for improvement, offering buyers the chance to create a comfortable and personalised home in one of Dorset’s most attractive coastal settings, close to both the amenities of Swanage and the natural beauty of the surrounding countryside.
