This stylishly presented mid-terraced Purbeck stone cottage is quietly situated in one of the oldest parts of Swanage, approximately one mile to the West of the town centre and seafront and within easy reach of local schools and convenience store. No 6 Victoria Terrace is thought to have been built during the late 1880s, of natural Purbeck stone under a slate roof.
The cottage is decorated in a neutral decor enhancing the sense of light and space throughout. The well planned accommodation is arranged over three floors and has good views across the town to the Purbeck Hills and Swanage Bay in the distance. It is ideal as a family home, or as a coastal retreat and the attractive private walled well established West facing rear garden creates a perfect outdoor living space.
Swanage lies at the eastern tip of the Isle of Purbeck delightfully situated between the Purbeck Hills. It has a fine, safe, 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 Durlston Country Park renowned for being the gateway to the Jurassic Coast and World Heritage Coastline.

At the rear, the kitchen is fitted with a range of wood units with contrasting worktops, integrated electric hob and oven and space for washing machine and fridge.
