  • Welcoming detached home overlooking Studland Heath with peaceful front and rear gardens where you can chase the sun
  • Large terrace with a BBQ for summer al fresco dinners and plenty of fun for everyone with both indoor and outdoor games
  • An ideal base for walkers and nature lovers to explore the nearby nature reserves and a sandy beach less than a mile away
Property code: OC-DC070

Set on a leafy lane overlooking Studland and Godlington Heath National Nature Reserve is this gorgeous detached property. Sleeping up to eight guests, it boasts a beautiful sandy beach, a shop and a pub within less than a mile. If you don’t fancy venturing out, you can always fire up the BBQ, relax by the summerhouse or challenge your friends and family to a game of pool.

Inside, the property is spacious and light with neutral tones and wooden features. One stand-out feature is the open-plan kitchen/dining room which has large doors leading onto the terrace outside, amplifying the feeling of space and tranquillity. On chillier evenings, you can snuggle up on the sofa in the sitting room in front of the wood burner, while you choose something to watch on the TV. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms giving guests plenty of space to relax, as well as a large family bathroom. Outside, there is a large gravelled parking area and a small garden at the front of the home; however, the extensive rear garden is a hidden gem. With two large terraces, a BBQ, an outdoor table tennis table, a patio, a summerhouse and large swing chair, you’d be forgiven for not wanting to leave the house.

The property is located within easy reach of Swanage (3 miles), popular year-round for its beach, seafront walks and great choice of places to eat. Head north on the South West Coast Path from the town towards to Studland via Ballard Down, or south along the coast to the wonderful Durlston Country Park. A 2-mile walk from the property will take onto the cliffs where you can look towards Old Harry Rocks and enjoy views over Studland Bay.

This was great for us with 4 children, two younger and two older children, the room layout worked perfectly. We were planning to eat out for the majority of our stay but I love to cook and the kitchen was so well equipped that I cooked more than intended which was lovely. Great location for The Pig Hotel which we have stayed at many times so it wasRead more great to be able to walk down for drinks and meals easily with the children, great location for the beach and Ferry. Perfect for us. Hide

This property is in a quiet neighbourhood but a great location for exploring the area. Well kept tiered shady garden with lots of seating options. Lots of crockery and cutlery, pans etc but no baking trays or trivets. Good size bathrooms however low shower pressure. The house was very clean but could do with a refresh as soft furnishings are a bit Read moretired and walls, lampshades etc are marked. We stayed during hot weather and found the property quite stuffy. Hide
