Mount Pleasant Lane, Swanage

This stylishly presented mid-terraced Victorian Purbeck stone cottage is quietly situated just off of the High Street, approximately 250 metres from the town square and seafront. No 3 South View, is thought to have been constructed during the mid 19th Century of Purbeck stone under a slate roof.

The current owners have carried out a meticulous renovation resulting in a superior cottage whilst retaining the original character of the building and is decorated in a neutral decor enhancing the sense of light and space throughout. The well planned accommodation is arranged over three floors and has spectacular views over the town to the sea from the upper floors. It is ideal as a family home, a coastal retreat, or a property suitable for providing an income. The attractive, easily maintained, South facing rear walled garden creates a perfect outdoor living space.
