The house is approached via three steps rising to the front door which opens into the inviting RECEPTION HALL. The immediate impression is one of space and enhanced by the light from several windows. A cosy note is added by a Stovax™ multi-fuel stove and original, full height painted wood panelling adds to the sense of history. The current owners currently use this as a reception room. From here you enter a central hall, with a full turn staircase which rises to both the first floor and downstairs to the dining room and kitchen. Off this central Hall is BEDROOM THREE a high-ceilinged single room overlooking the courtyard garden. This bedroom has its own ensuite.
Taking the stairs down, on the right is the DINING ROOM. Again, a very light room tastefully decorated with 3 windows, a Fired Earth™ stone floor, cast iron Victorian Fireplace with fire grate and food warmer and original cabinetry. Off this room is a storage area that could be a small wine cellar. Turning left at the bottom of the stairs is the KITCHEN. A traditional kitchen with gas fired AGA™, original parquet flooring, a comprehensive range of both cupboards and drawers, including Purbeck stone shelving. There is room for a farmhouse kitchen table, and sunlight streams through from the French windows which lead out into the sunny courtyard garden where there is also a useful Gardener’s WC.
Taking the stairs to the FIRST FLOOR there is the SITTING ROOM, a lovely, light and airy room. This well-proportioned reception room with original cornicing, marble fireplace and original stone mullion windows with iron frames and leaded lights, frames the views across the town and to the hills beyond. The SITTING ROOM could equally act as a fourth bedroom. Across the landing is BEDROOM TWO with tongue and groove panelling, original fitted wardrobe and sash windows looking across the garden. This room also has its own walk-in shower. Next to this bedroom is a separate CLOAKROOM.
On the SECOND FLOOR is the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM: a spacious room with the original, charming small fireplace and stone mullion window. Across the landing is the exceptionally large BATHROOM / DRESSING ROOM which serves the principal bedroom. In addition to the luxuriously placed roll-top bath in the centre of the room, there is a fitted wardrobe, original fireplace, and large sash windows offering expansive views across the roof tops to the Purbeck hills beyond.
Outside
The property enjoys a private courtyard garden - a rarity for central Swanage - with established planting including a beautiful old pear tree. Dedicated seating areas offer both sunny and shady spots as required. A path leads to the rear of the garden which currently has a gazebo and a door onto the street: it is but a few minutes from the beach. The owners used to access the garden from Town Hall Lane and park their car in a dedicated space at the rear of the garden.
Location
Set in the heart of a thriving seaside town, with easy access to glorious beaches and the world-renowned Purbeck countryside. Swanage is famed for its long sandy beaches. This property on High Street, is situated alongside an array of artisan cafes, shops and galleries; also within proximity of Swanage School.
From Swanage you are a short ferry journey to the large cosmopolitan town of Bournemouth, a short car journey from the Saxon walled town of Wareham; with its mainline links to London/Waterloo you can be in the capital within 2 ½ hours.
