This spacious detached bungalow stands in a popular residential area approximately half a mile from the town centre and within easy reach of local convenience store, primary school and the Townsend Nature Reserve. It is thought to have been built in 1964 and is of traditional cavity construction with a brick plinth, the upper elevations being cement rendered, under a pitched roof covered with concrete interlocking tiles and flat secondary roofs thought to be covered with mineral felt.

24 Manwell Road offers good sized accommodation with views across the town to Swanage Bay, Ballard Down and the Purbeck Hills in the distance.

It has a good sized garden and an attached garage with off-road parking in front.

Swanage lies at the eastern tip of the Isle of Purbeck delightfully situated between the Purbeck Hills.

To the South is Durlston Country Park renowned for being the gateway to the Jurassic Coast and World Heritage Coastline.
