Full Details for 4 Bedroom Semi-Detached for sale in Swanage, BH19 :
This outstanding period property comprises a semi-detached house built of local stone dating back to 1667 with the north-eastern section added in the 19th Century. It is a Grade II Listed building with many quality architectural features and occupies a sheltered and secluded position within a Conservation Area, close to the centre of Swanage. The Old Rectory has been maintained throughout to a high standard and offers spacious and well planned accommodation.
The house, as its name implies, was formerly the Rectory of St. Mary's Church which stands nearby and we understand that some years ago a local Historical Society carried out an inspection beneath the oldest part of the house and discovered what appeared to be evidence of a former Norman dwelling (circa 1100-1200) and passages which are thought may have led to the nearby Tithe Barn and the Church.
