Ballard Estate, Swanage

This well presented spacious bungalow has been refurbished by the current owner and offers a surprising depth of generously proportioned and versatile accommodation. It is quietly located on the private Ballard Estate at North Swanage, approximately 150 metres from Sheps Hollow with access to the beach below, and the South West Coast path leading to Studland in one direction and Swanage and beyond in the other.

Standing on a generous plot, attractive landscaped gardens surround the property, with the West facing rear garden enjoying views of the Purbeck Hills. The impressive open plan living room is particularly light, accentuated by the neutral decor and there is wood flooring fitted to all principal rooms. Underfloor heating is fitted to the kitchen, WC and bathroom.

Built in the 1970s the bungalow is considered to be of traditional cavity construction with cement rendered external elevations under a concrete interlocking tiled roof.

The seaside town of Swanage lies at the Eastern tip of the Isle of Purbeck, delightfully situated between the Purbeck Hills. It has a 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 the Durlston Country Park renowned for being the gateway to the Jurassic Coast and World Heritage Coastline.
