This property is undoubtedly a beautifully styled and spacious family home, thoughtfully arranged to suit modern family life. Having happily raised their four children here, the current owners are now ready to pass it on to the next generation.
Stepping down towards the front door, you enter into a spacious ENTRANCE HALL with plenty of room for childrens buggies, boots, coats and all the paraphernalia that comes with family living.
To the left, double doors open into a generous SITTING ROOM, where a large picture window looks out towards the front garden and floods the room with natural light.
Returning to the entrance hall and opposite, steps lead down into an impressive FAMILY KITCHEN, undoubtedly the heart of the home, offering plentiful worktop space and ample room for a large dining table at its centre. The kitchen is fitted with two Neff ovens and a five burner Bosch gas hob, along with space for an American style fridge freezer. A pantry cupboard provides additional storage. Raised glazing above the French doors, together with an enormous picture window, ensures the room is flooded with southerly sunshine throughout the day. The current owners comment that every day feels like a summers day in this kitchen.
The sink area enjoys lovely views across the garden, neighbouring rooftops and towards the Purbeck Hills beyond. To the left of the sink is the integrated dishwasher, followed by space for a dryer, while to the right sits the washing machine and a cleverly positioned wine rack, perfectly placed for evening cooking and entertaining. Double doors open out onto a decked seating area with steps leading down into the family garden.
Back in the entrance hall, stairs rise to the first floor, with a CLOAKROOM positioned neatly to the side, fitted with W.C. and wash hand basin.
Climbing the stairs, there is a half landing which leads into BEDROOM THREE. While there is some restricted head height, the room offers an impressive footprint and is currently arranged with a double bed, wardrobes and a study area. Four dormer windows frame far reaching views towards the sea, Swanage Bay and the white cliffs of Ballard Down.
Continuing up to the main landing, to the right sits the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM, a wonderfully bright room with light entering from the front aspect and smart fitted wardrobes running along one wall, helping reflect light throughout the space.
Adjacent is BEDROOM TWO, which comfortably accommodates a double bed, followed by the FAMILY BATHROOM, stylishly finished with bath, overhead rain shower, separate handheld shower attachment, wash hand basin and W.C, perfectly suited to modern family living.
Outside
Outside, the property continues to impress. To the front, there is plentiful parking with two large spaces currently accommodating substantial vehicles, alongside a smart gravelled garden.
A pathway and steps lead around to the side of the house and main entrance, passing a smart storage shed ideal for garden furniture, beach equipment and childrens toys, before opening into the main family garden.
The garden itself is south facing, spacious and thoughtfully landscaped, enclosed by planting, fencing and an attractive original stone wall which creates a wonderful sense of character. A sizeable lawn area provides excellent family space and is currently laid with astro turf to withstand the enthusiastic football matches of the familys boys, whilst remaining remarkably neat and easy to maintain.
Tucked discreetly into one corner is a large whirlpool jacuzzi, creating a wonderful entertaining and relaxation area. Adjacent to this sits a further smartly styled shed, equally suited as additional storage or as a childrens playhouse.
Location
Richmond Road enjoys a wonderfully convenient position within Swanage, perfectly balancing family practicality with the exceptional coastal lifestyle the town is known for. The property is within easy reach of the town centre, sandy beaches and a well-regarded selection of primary and secondary schools, making it an ideal setting for family life. A number of nurseries and early years settings are also nearby, while Swanages relaxed atmosphere and strong sense of community continue to make it increasingly popular with both permanent residents and those seeking a slower pace by the sea.
Altogether, the location offers a rare combination of everyday convenience, outdoor lifestyle and stunning natural surroundings.
