These outstanding premises are situated in a good trading position in the commercial centre of Swanage within 50 metres of the Old Stone Quay and town square and slightly further from the Pier, seafront and beach.

It has a fine, 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 Durlston Country Park renowned for being the gateway to the Jurassic Coast and World Heritage Coastline.
Existing Building
The existing building was constructed in 1835. It is Grade II Listed and has exposed Purbeck stone with brick window surrounds to the front and cement rendering to the side and rear. There are cast iron balconies to the first floor and double hung sash windows to the first and second floors. The property stands in grounds of approximately 0.115 of an acre (0.046 of a hectare) and has forecourt parking and a garage at the rear.
The existing business is well established with various town festivals and live music boosting seasonal trade. Audited accounts are available for inspection by genuine applicants on request and has excellent revenue and profits.
