Property description
A detached four/five bedroom gentleman's residence commanding impressive panoramic views over Swanage Bay, and located in a desirable and sought-after road. This property offers a separate attached one-bedroom annexe, ideal as a granny flat, home office, or even holiday let/income stream.
Swanage is a sought-after and picturesque coastal town located on the Jurassic Coast and within the Isle of Purbeck, a truly classic Dorset coastal town.
The town has origins in port activity and fishing, but now offers a desirable and chic location that is lauded as a sought-after place to live.
De Moulham Road is an elevated position, just a few roads away from the centre but with certain homes (this one included) commanding magnificent views over the bay.
The town centre and beach are both a short walk away, and the versatile and spacious accommodation, coupled with the flexibility and potential of the separate self-contained annexe, make this a fine family home.

Agents Note: This annexe, if required, and subject to gaining the necessary consents, could either be re-incorporated back into the main house for extra living space if needed, kept as a separate annexe, or even used as a home office. Its separate entrance would be ideal in welcoming clients away from the home.
It could also be used for holiday let purposes, subject to gaining any consents necessary.
Outside:
The plot measures roughly 150ft x 51ft (46m depth by 15.7m frontage approximately). The in-out carriage driveway offers parking for several vehicles and good access to both the main house and annexe. This front area is defined by herbaceous shrub borders.
The rear garden is slightly tiered, with different areas including a patio area immediately abutting the main house, garden store, and children's play area. We understand from the vendors that the previous occupiers had a swimming pool here and if desired this could be reinstated.
Steps down lead to the lower garden area, with lawn, further herbaceous/shrub borders defining the edge of the garden, patio area and shed.
Services: The property receives all mains services and the heating and hot water are both gas-fired from its own boiler.
