Harmans Cross

This spacious detached bungalow is located in a semi-rural position on the Western outskirts of the hamlet of Harmans Cross close to open country.

The property is approached by a shared driveway and is set well back from the road. It is in need of updating, but offers considerable potential scope for improvement.

It is thought that the original building dates back to the 1930s and is of timber framework with external rendered elevations. A substantial extension was added in more recent times, which is thought to be of traditional cavity construction under a tiled roof.

The village of Harmans Cross lies in the heart of the Isle of Purbeck, some 2.5 miles from the seaside resort of Swanage and a similar distance from the historic village of Corfe Castle.  It has a large modern village hall and the popular railway station which connects to Wareham and the mainline train service to London Waterloo during the summer season, serving Corfe Castle to Swanage all year round. Beaches at Studland and Swanage and the market town of Wareham are some 8 miles distant.  Much of the surrounding area is classified as being of Outstanding Natural Beauty and incorporates a World Heritage Coastline.

The entrance hallway is central to the accommodation and leads directly to the spacious dual aspect living room featuring a Purbeck stone fireplace with fitted wood burning stove and beamed ceilings. With a pleasant southerly aspect this room is particularly light and has double (patio) doors leading to the side garden. Beyond is the dining room, which also has a stone fireplace and beamed ceilings. Leading off, the spacious kitchen is located at the rear and is dual aspect to enjoy views over the garden. It is fitted with a range of units, contrasting worktops and has an integrated electric hob and double oven. A sliding door leads to the utility room which has access to the rear garden and cloakroom. A second sitting room also has access to the rear garden.
