5 bed detached house for sale

Ferry Road, Studland, Swanage, Dorset BH19

A substantial five bedroom Purbeck stone home, discreetly positioned on the edge of the village with private gardens, ample parking and enormous potential to modernise and create a superb family residence.

Discreetly positioned on the edge of the village, Skerries is a traditionally built Purbeck stone home set within a generous and private garden plot. One of just three homes sharing a private access drive, each property enjoys its own entrance, expansive front lawn and ample parking.

The property was lovingly occupied by the previous owner for several decades and now presents an exciting opportunity for a new custodian to modernise and create a wonderful family home. While some updating is required to meet modern tastes, the property does benefit from recently installed oil-fired central heating, which is common in this part of Purbeck.

Built from solid Purbeck stone and entirely in keeping with the area's character, the house enjoys a peaceful, tucked-away setting surrounded by mature gardens. Inside, the accommodation is both spacious and filled with natural light. A large family room with an attractive stone fireplace opens onto the front garden through sliding doors, while the formal dining room was ideal for entertaining and is conveniently served by the bright kitchen. To the rear of the property is a cosy sitting room with fireplace and a separate utility room, both enjoying access to the tranquil rear garden. Historically, the property enjoyed pedestrian access via steps to the rear, leading through the Coombe towards Studland's beaches. Purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the existence and extent of any rights and the potential for reinstatement

Upstairs, there are five generous double bedrooms, two of which are en-suite. The principal bedroom benefits from extensive fitted storage, as do bedrooms two and three. Bedroom four has its own wash basin, while bedroom five was arranged as a study and would work equally well as a home office, hobby room or additional bedroom.

Offered with vacant posession and no forward chain, Skerries presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial village home in a wonderful setting and create something truly special.
