6 bedroom detached house for sale

SITUATION: On a plot of approximately 0.2 of an acre, on the sought-after area to the north of Swanage centre, convenient for access to a Chine Walk to the beach and path leading to Ballard Down and the Jurassic Coast World Heritage site. The main town centre amenities are approximately ¾ of a mile.

DESCRIPTION: A detached house, originally constructed, we believe, in the 1910's of Purbeck stone and pebbledash rendered elevations under a recently renewed interlocking tiled roof. The property is very well-presented and retains many character features. The current owners have installed a Solar Edge, solar panel system which not only supplements energy usage but is also income generating. The accommodation is spacious and has, in the past, been used to provide B&B income with three bedrooms being offered to guests. The gardens are of a good-size and well tended, and the property has some hill views and sea glimpses.
