House For Sale £435,000
High Street, Swanage BH19

This substantial detached family home is conveniently located in a pleasant position approximately two thirds of a mile from the town centre and about 250 metres from local convenience store and other amenities. It is thought to have been constructed during the 1930s of brick, the upper elevations being cement rendered under a pitched roof covered with Polite tiles.

Little Orchard has been well maintained by the current owners and has considerable scope for a loft conversion, subject to building regulation approval. It also benefits from some views of the Purbeck Hills, a good sized garden, detached double garage/workshop and off-road parking.

The seaside resort of 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 cottage and more modern properties. To the South is the Durlston Country Park renowned for being the gateway to the Jurassic Coast and World Heritage Coastline. The market town of Wareham which has main line rail link to London Waterloo (approx. 2.5 hours) is some 9 miles distant with the conurbation of Poole and Bournemouth being in easy reach via the Sandbanks ferry.
