AGGLESTONE ROAD, STUDLAND

8 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Swanage

2 8 2

This a rare opportunity to acquire a large detached family residence of Art Deco design standing in an excellent location on the outskirts of the village adjacent to open country and SSSI Heathland. It is thought to have been built during the early 1930s and is of traditional cavity brick construction under a pitched roof covered with clay tiles and flat second roofs.

Moorside enjoys far-reaching views across open heathland toward Poole Harbour in the distance. It provides generous and versatile living accommodation and its long standing, unaltered condition presents a rare opportunity for sympathetic modernisation or complete transformation. With its enviable setting and substantial potential, Moorside offers the chance to create a truly exceptional home in a highly desirable location.

The village of Studland lies at the South-Eastern tip of the Isle of Purbeck, approximately 9 miles from the conurbations of Poole and Bournemouth both of which have main line rail link to London Waterloo (approximately 2 hours). Much of the surrounding area is owned by the National Trust and is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty including the gateway to the Jurassic Coast and World Heritage Coastline. The village has a popular pub and the recently opened Pig on the Beach (restaurant/hotel), it is also well served by a village store. There is also a popular riding school and an international Golf Club on the outskirts of the village.

The house was built by the grandmother of the present owners and has never been previously offered for sale. Unaltered for many years, the property feels wonderfully authentic — an untouched canvas ready for a new chapter. Its generous footprint, arranged over three floors, provides remarkable scope for transformation.

The entrance hall is central to the accommodation and leads through to the exceptionally spacious living room with feature brick fireplace and views across the adjacent heathland to Poole Harbour in the distance. The dining room, with wooden floor, is a generous second reception room at the rear of the property overlooking the garden. The kitchen is ready for updating, and could easily be transformed into a modern, stylish hub of the home. Also on this level is a separate utility room, spacious bathroom, cloakroom and store.
