This substantial detached family house is situated in a popular residential area approximately three quarters of a mile to the West of the town and is within easy reach of local convenience store and open country. It is thought to have been built during the 1930s and is of traditional cavity brick construction.
Whilst in need of updating, 80 Priests Road offers good sized family accommodation and commands panoramic views across the town to the Purbeck Hills, Ballard Down and Swanage Bay in the distance. It also has the advantage of a detached garage at the rear and scope to create additional parking at the front, subject to consent.
The seaside resort of Swanage lies at the eastern tip of the Isle of Purbeck, delightfully situated between the Purbeck Hills. It has a fine, sandy beach and is an attractive mix of old stone cottages and more modern properties. To the South is the Durlston Country Park renowned for being the gateway to the Jurassic Coast and World Heritage Coastline. The market town of Wareham which has main line rail link to London Waterloo (approx. 2.5hrs) is some 9 miles distant with the conurbation of Poole and Bournemouth being in easy reach via the Sandbanks Ferry.
The entrance hall leads through to the South facing living room with wide bay window. The kitchen is in need of replacing but offers the potential to become the hub of the home by opening to the dining room beyond. This room enjoys good views across the town to the Purbeck Hills and Swanage Bay in the distance. A large side porch gives access to both the front and rear gardens.
