Step out to the glass-fronted balcony and marvel at the views from this impressive penthouse apartment in Swanage. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom retreat looks out over the Dorset town towards the bay and open countryside. From here, you can stroll 300 metres to dine out or stock up on local produce. The beach is just 0.5 miles away and picturesque Durlston Country Park is the same distance.
Set on the hillside, your modern apartment can be entered by climbing two short flights of steps to the back of the main building. From the shared foyer, open the door to your private quarters to find a living space with a gentle seaside theme and contemporary style. From the hall, wander into the kitchen to unpack the local produce you have sourced and prepare the next delicious meal for your party. Feast together at the table through in the light-filled lounge/diner on those occasions you choose not to dine out. Settle on the sumptuous sofas to watch the Smart TV or simply gaze out through the enormous windows and sliding glass doors. Pull these back during the summer months to bring in the sea air. At the end of each fabulous day away, lay your head in either the king-size bedroom, with an en-suite shower room, or the twin, which can also be made up as a super-king size by prior discussion. There is also a family bathroom. While away warm evenings on the balcony with a glass of wine and have coffee out here on fine mornings.
Catch a heritage steam train from Swanage to Corfe Castle, 6 miles away, with its dramatic ruins and glorious scenery. Explore the Isle of Purbeck on foot. Follow a 6-mile circular walk to Studland, taking in a section of the South West Coast Path.
