House For Sale £575,000
This single storey attached patio cottage was formerly part of Scarbank House, a manor house built around the turn of the 19th Century but converted into 3 self-contained properties in the early 1970s. It is situated in a premier residential cul-de-sac on the outskirts of Swanage adjoining open country and enjoying fine views to fields and Durlston Country Park.
The seaside resort of Swanage lies at the eastern tip of the Isle of Purbeck, charmingly surrounded by the Purbeck Hills. It has a safe, sandy beach, and is an interesting mixture of period stone cottages and more modern properties. It also boasts an historic steam railway. 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 10 miles distant with the large towns of Poole and Bournemouth being within reach via the Sandbanks ferry, 6 miles distant.
This cosy cottage has local Purbeck stone walls under a flat roof insulated with 75mm (3in) Cellotex, and has the benefit of uPVC double glazing and gas-fired heating. It enjoys a mainly crazy-paved south and west facing garden and parking for 2 vehicles. There is scope to re-design the existing layout and architects have sketched some suggested plans available to inspect at our offices. The fitted carpets, curtains and blinds are included in the purchase.
