Manwell Road, Swanage, BH19

This detached bungalow is pleasantly situated in a popular residential area approximately half a mile from the town centre and some 200 metres from open country at the Townsend Nature Reserve. It is in need of some updating, but offers views of the Purbeck Hills to Swanage Bay in the distance, a good sized garden and a driveway with off road parking and a garage.

Originally constructed in the late 1960s of cavity construction, it has external elevations of part brick the remainder being cement rendered under a concrete tiled roof. In our opinion there is scope to create further accommodation by way of a loft extension, subject to planning consent.

The seaside resort of 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 cottage and more modern properties.

The market town of Wareham which has main line rail link to London Waterloo (approx. 2.5 hours) is some 9 miles distant with the conurbation of Poole and Bournemouth being in easy reach via the Sandbanks ferry.

At the rear, the kitchen is partially fitted with white units, contrasting worktops and stainless steel sink.
