De Moulham Road, Swanage

This well appointed apartment is situated on the first floor of a purpose built premier retirement complex, located in an outstanding position about 150 metres from the seafront and some 400 metres from the town centre. 'St. Aldhelms Court' was constructed in the late 1990s of brick, the upper elevations being cement rendered with a synthetic tiled roof. It is a warden monitored building and has the considerable advantage of a large communal lounge and residents parking at the rear.

Whilst in need of some updating, no: 47 St Aldhelms Court offers good sized living accommodation with the corner balcony enjoying views across the bay to Peveril Point in the distance. There is use of a large communal residents lounge with balcony overlooking the sea, a communal laundry room and a guest suite available, at a fee.

The seaside town of Swanage is located at the Eastern tip of the Isle of Purbeck, delightfully situated between the Purbeck Hills.
