Howard Road, Swanage

This superior Edwardian residence stands on a prominent corner site and is situated in a convenient location about half a mile from the town centre and sea front. The property is believed to have been built around 1916 and has external elevations of brick, with Purbeck stone dressings, under a slate roof.

The current owner has carried out renovations and extensions resulting in a well presented family home, filled with natural light. The accommodation is generously sized throughout and the impressive open plan dining room/kitchen and garden room is the hub of this family home. There are many fine features and details to appreciate, including the high ceilings, wood panelling and original coving, together with a most attractive landscaped South facing rear garden and detached garage at the rear.

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.  Swanage has an active shopping centre, with branches of a number of multiple stores.  To the south is the Durlston Country Park renowned for being the gateway to the Jurassic Coast and World Heritage Coastline.
