This elegant apartment has a conveniently central location in the seaside town of Swanage and makes an ideal base for a holiday on the Jurassic Coast. There’s plenty to do here for all ages. Stroll half a mile down the hill to a wide range of shops and restaurants, swim or build sandcastles on the beach, or take a steam train to the dramatic ruins of Corfe Castle. Outdoor enthusiasts should head to the Isle of Purbeck (5 miles) for countryside walks, cycling, rock climbing and water sports, or to Durlston Castle and Country Park (2 miles) for superb walks along the coast and through wildflower meadows and woodlands.
The property is set in a Victorian house and has a private entrance accessed by a side staircase. The open-plan lounge and dining room includes comfortable seating, a dining table and chairs for six, and an ornate fireplace housing an open fire. Books suitable for adults and children and a collection of toys ensure all ages will be entertained on a rainy day, and doors lead to a balcony with views towards the town and sea. The kitchen is equipped with designer appliances and there’s a handy cloakroom too. Two twin bedrooms feature 3’ antique beds with memory foam mattresses – one on the first floor and the other on the second – and an additional bedroom on the second floor has a king-size bed, an antique chandelier and a gorgeous sea view. The family bathroom includes a bath with an overhead rain shower.
An enclosed side courtyard features a patio bench, a picnic table and a fire pit, as well as a storage area for beach equipment.
