Cottage in Dorset

About this property

This stylish apartment is the ideal base for a family holiday and offers stunning, far reaching views over Swanage Bay as well as easy access to amenities, the Jurassic Coast and many wonderful walks.

The picturesque coastal town of Swanage lies at the tip of the Isle of Purbeck. There is a popular sandy beach and a great selection of shops, cafes and amusements. Backed by the beautiful Purbeck Hills and a gateway town to the Jurassic Coast, this location offers the best of both worlds, with many walking routes weaving through the landscape and along the cliffs. Attractions include Durlston Country Park, the unspoilt white sands of Studland, and Corfe Castle, which is home to castle ruins cared for by the National Trust and accessible by steam train from Swanage. Those wishing to get out on the water can enjoy sailing, water skiing, wind surfing and diving, or relax with a boat trip. This second floor apartment sits in a tranquil spot elevated above the town centre. A shared entrance door and stairs lead to the private entrance into the property. A useful cloakroom area is available for coats and shoes adjacent to the door. Once inside, you are met with a spacious lounge/kitchen/diner to your right. This welcoming space has breathtaking panoramic views over the whole of Swanage Bay and across to Old Harry Rocks, which are sure to make you want to rest a while and simply take in the sights. Newly renovated in 2021, the kitchen area has been well equipped with an electric oven and gas hob, microwave, fridge with ice compartment, dishwasher and washing machine, and has more lovely sea views. There is plenty of space to dine just opposite and a comfortable lounge area with TV. Heading back into the entrance hallway, you will find a cosy single room and a contemporary bathroom opposite, with a shower over the bath and WC. Completing the accommodation is a spacious and light double bedroom with dual aspect views across Swanage.
