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 in 1964 and is of traditional cavity construction with a brick plinth, the upper elevations being cement rendered, under a pitched roof covered with concrete interlocking tiles and flat secondary roofs thought to be covered with mineral felt.

24 Manwell Road offers good sized accommodation with views across the town to Swanage Bay, Ballard Down and the Purbeck Hills in the distance. The property is in need of updating, but does offer scope for further development subject to planning consent to formalise the current conversion of the attic room. It has a good sized garden and an attached 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. To the South is Durlston Country Park renowned for being the gateway to the Jurassic Coast and World Heritage Coastline.

The spacious 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 wooden fire surround and sliding doors to the conservatory which enjoys views across the town to Swanage Bay and Ballard Down. The kitchen is fitted with a range of light units, contrasting worktops with an integrated electric hob and oven.

Whilst we are informed by our clients that it does not have Building Regulations approval, we are of the opinion it presents excellent potential for further development, subject to the requisite consents.

Outside, the front garden is lawned with shrub borders and a concrete driveway leads to the attached garage and provides off-road parking in front.
