House For Sale £345,000
This well presented Edwardian cottage is situated in a popular location to the South of the town, close to Townsend Nature Reserve and stunning coastal clifftop walks. Ivy Cottage was originally built c.1910 and the current owners have converted the loft to form an additional bedroom, which was carried out by a local reputable builder. It now offers spacious accommodation arranged over three floors and enjoys impressive views of Swanage Bay from the front and the Purbeck Hills from the rear. Of historical note, the row of cottages was built for the unmarried daughters of Mr Septimus of Septimus House, Mount Scar, which was built in 1866 as a small cottage with courtyard and stables, converted into a fine residence in the 1950s.
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 cottags and more modern properties, all of which blend in well with the peaceful surroundings. Swanage has an active shopping centre, with branches of a number of multiple stores. To the south is the Durlston Country Park renowned for being the gateway to the Jurassic Coast and World Heritage Coastline.
The small entrance hall leads through to a generously sized living room with feature Purbeck stone fireplace, beamed ceiling, staircase to first floor with original curved balustrade. At the rear of the cottage is the spacious kitchen/dining room, which is the family hub and workspace, an essential part of our living requirements today. West facing, this room enjoys afternoon sunshine and the kitchen is fitted with cottage style units.
