5 bedroom detached house for sale

This superior detached house is of cottage style design and is quietly located on the Southern outskirts of Swanage, adjacent to a copse and about 150 metres from open country. It is thought to have been built during the 1960s, although altered and extended in more recent times and has external elevations of natural Purbeck stone with part cement render, under a pitched roof covered with concrete tiles and flat secondary roofs.

Windward has been well maintained by the current owners and offers particularly spacious and well planned family accommodation, ideal for multi-generational living. It also has the considerable advantage of views over Durlston Country Park from the first floor, a secluded garden, detached garage/workshop and off-road parking for several vehicles.

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.
