Springvale is an exceptionally spacious chalet style bungalow, situated in a fine semi-rural position in the village of Harmans Cross, adjoining open country. It is quietly and picturesquely situated at the end of an unmade cul-de-sac and enjoys pleasant southerly views overlooking the Swanage Steam Railway and countryside, particularly from the first floor and large terrace.
The original property was built during the 1930s although substantially extended and altered in more recent years. It is of traditional cavity construction with cement rendered external elevations under a pitched roof covered with concrete tiles.
The village of Harmans Cross lies in the heart of the Isle of Purbeck, some 2.5 miles from the seaside resort of Swanage and a similar distance from the historic village of Corfe Castle. It has a large modern village hall and the popular railway station which connects to Wareham and the mainline train service to London Waterloo during the summer season, serving Corfe Castle to Swanage all year round. Beaches at Studland and Swanage and the market town of Wareham are some 8 miles distant. Much of the surrounding area is classified as being of Outstanding Natural Beauty and incorporates a World Heritage Coastline.
The porch and spacious entrance hall welcome you to Springvale. Beyond, the breakfast room has a wide archway through to the kitchen which is fitted with an extensive range of white gloss units, contrasting granite worktops and integrated appliances including Siemens double oven and electric induction hob, Bosch washing machine and dishwasher and White Knight tumble-dryer.

The dining area is triple aspect enjoying fine southerly views and has double doors opening to the garden. There are also two spacious double bedrooms and a WC on the ground floor.
