3 bed terraced house for sale

High Street, Swanage BH19

This spacious mid-terraced house is situated in one of the oldest parts of Swanage, approximately one mile from the town centre yet within easy reach of a local convenience store, schools and open country. It is thought to have been built during the latter part of the 19th Century and has external elevations of part Purbeck stone, the remainder being cement rendered with a pebbledash finish under a stone tiled roof to the front, slate roof to the rear and a flat secondary roof.

Whilst in need of complete updating throughout, 228 High Street offers well planned family accommodation with views of the Purbeck Hills in the distance. We consider that there is scope for a loft conversion, subject to necessary consents.

The seaside town of Swanage is located at the Eastern tip of the Isle of Purbeck, delightfully situated between the Purbeck Hills.

Much of the area surrounding the town is classified as being of Outstanding Natural Beauty incorporating the Jurassic Coast, which is part of the World Heritage Coastline.
