Step through a small Porch/Boot Room into a hallway with a straight flight of stairs ascending to the first floor. A southerly Living Room features a bay window, tall ceilings, skirtings and coving, indicative features of the Edwardian era. A chimney breast houses a built-in living flame electric fire adding to the cosiness of this brightly illuminated room. A Dining Room with built-in cupboard sits adjacent to the living room and could be used alternatively as a ground floor bedroom or workspace.
Continue through the hallway to the Kitchen/Breakfast room which comprises a well-organized range of worktops with inset electric oven, gas hob with filtration hood over and stainless steel splashback; ample base and wall unit, stainless steel sink and drainer. The kitchen opens into the Garden Room which has sliding doors and windows offering a pleasant outlook over the rear garden and offers the opportunity to be used as a dining or playroom. Beside the kitchen a Utility room which has space and plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer, and beyond a very useful separate Shower Room with shower cubicle, washbasin and WC.
On the first floor, to the front of the house, spacious Bedroom One can accommodate a King size bed and ample freestanding furniture. This light and airy room has a southerly aspect with bay window and stairs rising to a Loft Room on the second floor. The Loft room has 'Velux' style windows, eaves storage and offers a quiet retreat for study or a work from home office, games room or gym space.
Along the landing, both Bedroom Two and Bedroom Three are of good proportions with bedroom three having the benefit of a washbasin and an outlook over the rear garden towards the playing fields and Purbeck Hills in the distance. A family shower room with corner shower cubicle, wash basin and WC serves this floor.
To the front of the property, a herringbone paved area provides off-road parking for two vehicles. A side gate and pathway give access to the utility room and rear garden - useful following a dog walk to the beach or nearby park. The near 50ft long rear garden, laid simply to lawn with mature shrubs, stretches towards the railway track and an elevated decked area from the garden room provides an ideal spot to admire the passing steam and diesel trains. At the foot of the garden is a shed and beyond, a strip of land at the foot of the garden belongs to Swanage Steam railway and the current owner pays approximately £50 per annum to retain use of this.
This attractive, traditionally constructed property with its red brick elevations and Purbeck stone quoins and dressings requires some updating but will, with thoughtful improvement, provide a wonderful family home to cherish.
