This is a rare opportunity to acquire office premises and garage well situated in the commercial centre of Swanage. The property is approximately 100 metres from the town square and seafront and is offered with vacant possession.
Both the office and garage are held on leases with 144 years remaining. The current service charge, which covers the building maintenance and insurance is approximately £1,000 pa, with a ground rent of £150pa combined. The garage is currently used for storage ancillary to the office use; the lease permits the garage to be used for boat storage.
The subject property occupies part of the side of Wessex House which is a substantial building comprising a small block of flats with commercial premises on the ground floor. It is of traditional cavity construction, the outer elevations being cement rendered, with part Purbeck stone, under a Mansard concrete tiled roof.
Swanage is an extremely popular coastal resort attracting many thousands of tourists throughout the year and is renowned for its scenic beauty and being the gateway to the Jurassic World Heritage Coastline. Road communication links to Swanage are good with the A351 from the town connecting directly with the A35. The A35 is one of the main strategic roads within Dorset.
