Swanage, Dorset

Welcome to this star of Rabling Road, a masterful example of modern living, just minutes from the beach.

The front door opens into a split-level hallway, like much of this house it is flooded with natural light. To the left is the SITTING ROOM which looks out onto the front garden. The current owners use this as a cosy living space to snuggle up in, but it could equally function as a fourth double bedroom.

A few steps down to the right and you walk past a discreetly located W.C., and then through double doors into the main LIVING AREA with underfloor heating and Bi Fold Doors. This room is flooded with southern light and currently houses a sitting area and separate dining area, which both open out onto the decked terrace. This room then extends further into a crisply designed KITCHEN, with sleek matt finished dark blue cabinetry, cleverly underlit to show off this spectacular kitchen, both day and night.

Returning to the hallway stairs which lead up to the first floor and straight ahead is BEDROOM 2, which for most homes would be labelled a principal bedroom. Easily accommodating a large double bed and a choice of furnishings, it also has built in wardrobe, ENSUITE with walk in monsoon shower, wash basin and W.C. In one of many nods to luxury living, this bedroom also has its own west facing BALCONY, perfect for capturing sunsets.

Coming out of Bedroom 2 to the left is a LAUNDRY ROOM secreted away. With plumbed in sink, space for washer and dryer and access to additional under eaves storage. Further on to the left is the FAMILY BATHROOM, yet another beautifully styled room with bath and overhead shower, wash basin and W.C. A few steps on and you are into BEDROOM 3, a further spacious double, currently furnished as a twin room. One wall is fitted with more stylish wardrobes the central double doors of which reveal a TV station…a favourite room for younger guests!
Another few stairs up and you enter a light flooded PRINCIPAL SUITE, quintessential boutique living. Stepping into the suite there is a gabled wall of windows, which open onto a BALCONY offering elevated views across Swanage to the Purbeck hills beyond. A birds eye view for a sunset drink or early morning coffee. A few steps and you are into the main sleeping area with windows looking up into the skies. A few steps up and the ENSUITE is on the left and then into a rather spectacular DRESSING ROOM, which is surrounded on 2 sides by sleek fitted wardrobes and the facing wall has a run of units flooded with natural light from above…worthy of any A-List celebrity.

There are 4 heat zones across the house with primary heating and hot water fuelled by air source heat pump, and a secondary condensing gas boiler as back up. Flooring is a mixture of solid flooring and wool carpeting to sitting room, hallway and stairs.

Outside
Hardy’s Row is fronted by a private lawned garden which is the perfect setting for this beautifully designed home. The rear gardens can be accessed from the front via a gate or stepped out onto from the main living space. The upper decked area currently, furnished with outdoor seating and barbeque, looks down across a manicured lawn and established planting to the charmingly designed building that is labelled a GARAGE but is a architectural feature in its own right. It is fully fitted as a sleek workshop, and currently houses a sparkling collection of kayaks, bikes etc., but equally could be home to a very lucky car, with its own charging point for electric vehicles. The garage opens onto the lane (which can also be accessed directly from the garden via a side second gate). Here there is an allocated parking space in addition to the garage, and in fact, space for further parking in front of the garage…so no matter how busy the town is, you and your guests will always have parking options.

Location
Located in the beautiful seaside resort of Swanage and close to the Purbeck countryside. Swanage is famed for its long sandy beaches and Hardys Row benefits from being a short (and flat!) walk to Swanage beach, as well as other favourite beauty spots such as St George's Park an Durlston Park. The current owners love to stroll to their favourite restaurant set amongst a variety of wine bars, pubs, cafes, art galleries and other independent shops.
