4 bed detached house for sale

Durlston Road, Swanage BH19

This superior detached family residence is well located in a premier residential position standing on the South side of Swanage, and commands fine views of Durlston Bay. It is within easy reach of Durlston Country Park, which is widely considered to be the gateway to the Jurassic Coast, and about three quarters of a mile from the town centre and seafront.

The accommodation has been designed with the principal living accommodation arranged on the upper floor with generous windows to make the most of its elevated position and far-reaching views.

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 mixture of old stone cottages and more modern properties all of which blend in well with the peaceful surroundings. To the south is the Durlston Country Park renowned for being the gateway to the Jurassic Coast and World Heritage Coastline
