De Moulham Road, Swanage, BH19

This well appointed apartment is situated on the second 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.
