This period end-terraced Purbeck stone cottage is thought to date back to the mid 19th Century and is situated just off of the High Street, approximately 150 metres from the sea front.

Many original character features have been retained and the cottage offers substantial accommodation arranged over three floors. Ideal for a family, or a coastal getaway, it has been decorated throughout in a neutral decor to maximise the light and spatial feeling and has the benefit of a small rear courtyard.

We consider that the versatile accommodation lends itself to the possibility of creating a home with income, subject to planning consent. In recent times one of the properties in the terrace has been used as an artists gallery/cafe on the ground floor and a previous owner of this property used one of the bedrooms as an artists studio.

The building is constructed of natural Purbeck stone, under a conventional pitched roof.

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.

You are welcomed to this substantial cottage by the living room which is particularly light accentuated by the neutral decor and wooden flooring. Beyond, the formal dining room has fitted cupboards and an understairs storage cupboard. At the rear, the South facing kitchen/breakfast room has twin Velux windows and door to the courtyard garden. It has a fitted stainless steel sink unit with drawer and cupboard under, worktop with plumbing for automatic washing machine under and space for freestanding electric cooker and fridge. A cloakroom completes the accommodation on the ground floor.

Living Room 4.17m max x 3.52m (13'1" max 11'7")
Dining Room 4.15m max x 3.47m (13'7" max x 11'5")
Kitchen 3.3m x 3.25m (10'10" x 10'8" max)

Bedroom 4 also has a fitted wardrobe with high level storage space over. There is a good sized bathroom fitted with a panelled bath, wash hand basin and WC. The second floor accommodation comprises Bedroom 1, which is particularly spacious and Bedroom 2 has fitted wardrobes and access to a large loft space.
