This substantial detached property is currently arranged as a ground and first floor maisonette and a second floor flat each with their own personal entrances. Bishops Corner is conveniently situated opposite the Parish Church and is some 500 metres level distance from the town centre and Swanage Beach. The property is thought to have been built around the turn of the 20th Century and is of traditional cavity construction with external elevations of part brick, the remainder being stone under a conventional pitched roof covered with clay tiles.

The property benefits from spacious and versatile accommodation with some views of the Purbeck Hills from the rear and offers great potential either as a large family home, a home with income or further development.

Bishops Corner is offered for sale by tender (unless sold previously) and interested applicants are requested to submit their best bids clearly marked tender for Bishops Corner, Kings Road, West, Swanage by no later than 12 Noon on Friday 8 March 2024. The sellers reserve the right not to accept the highest or indeed any offer.

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 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.

The maisonette offers extremely spacious accommodation with high ceilings. There are two reception rooms on the ground floor, both at the front of the property and with Purbeck stone fireplaces.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on January 31, 2024 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
