Bedrooms: 4
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a property on the exclusive private Ballard Estate, on the northern outskirts of Swanage, considered by many to be one of the premier residential areas of Swanage. The beach is within 500 metres via Sheps Hollow and there is easy access to open country, Ballard Down and spectacular Jurassic Coast Heritage cliff top walks to Studland.
The bungalow is in poor condition having not been permanently lived in for many years. It does, however, offer exceptionally spacious accommodation and occupies an unrivalled position on the cliff top directy overlooking Swanage Bay with views of Peveril Point and Ballard Down. The property is of original timber construction with a pitched roof covered with tiles and is in need of substantial re-furbishment or demolition for redevelopment, subject to planning approval.
Of historic note, the bungalow is of original construction and is dated back to 1917. The Ballard Estate was created as a barracks for Canadian troops before they embarked to fight in Flanders during the First World War. Most of the original properties have now been redeveloped; this is one of the very few remaining.
