High Street, Swanage

This immaculately presented character mid-terrace cottage situated in one of the oldest parts of Swanage approximately half a mile from the town centre and beach. A local convenience store and open country are within 500 metres.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors and has pleasant views over Swanage Bay and Ballard Down in the distance from the top floor and the considerable advantage of a South facing courtyard garden.

It is thought to date back to the 18th Century and is constructed of natural Purbeck stone under a stone tiled roof.

The seaside town of Swanage is located at the Eastern tip of the Isle of Purbeck, delightfully situated between the Purbeck Hills.
