This spacious semi-detached family house stands in a popular residential position, about one mile from the town centre and beach. It is also within easy reach of local convenience store, open country and local schools. It was built during the 1930s of brick with cement rendered external elevations under a pitched roof covered with tiles.
Whilst in need of updating throughout, 198 Kings Road West offers spacious family accommodation with some views of the Purbeck Hills from the rear, good sized garden, detached garage and off-road parking.
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. To the South is the Durlston Country Park renowned for being the gateway to the Jurassic Coast and World Heritage Coastline. 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.
The spacious entrance hall welcomes you to this family home. Leading off, the good sized living room, has a South facing bow window and fireplace (currently blocked) with wooden surround. At the rear the dining room has a large picture window. The kitchen is fitted with a range of light units, contrasting worktops, space for free-standing appliances and has access to the garden.
