Manwell Road, Swanage

This spacious detached bungalow stands in a popular residential area approximately half a mile from the town centre and within easy reach of local convenience store, primary school and the Townsend Nature Reserve. It is thought to have been built during the 1960s of traditional cavity brick construction under a pitched roof covered with concrete interlocking tiles.

28 Manwell Road offers well presented accommodation with impressive views across the town to Swanage Bay, Ballard Down and the Purbeck Hills in the distance. It also has the advantage of an attractive landscaped garden and a detached garage with off-road parking in front.

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 cottages and more modern properties, all of which blend in well with the peaceful surroundings. 

The central entrance porch and hall welcomes you to this detached bungalow, ideal as a family home or retirement property, offering scope for further development. Leading off, the exceptionally spacious living room has a Purbeck stone fire surround and sliding doors to the conservatory which enjoys views across the town to Swanage Bay and Ballard Down. Sliding doors lead to the paved patio and landscaped garden blending indoor/outdoor living.
