Property code: OC-WY229

At this gorgeous apartment near the waterfront in Swanage, you can experience the Jurassic Coast from an elevated spot. Wake up to spectacular sea views each morning, enjoying leisurely fresh-air breakfasts on your private roof terrace, followed by relaxed afternoons picnicking and reading on the sandy beach (200 metres). Located within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Swanage is also a wonderful base for exploring natural sites nearby like Dancing Ledge (4 miles) and The Blue Pool Nature Reserve (9 miles). With space for up to four guests, this property is well suited to couples and families keen for a seaside break in Dorset.

On arrival, climb the stairs and be sure to enjoy the tantalising glimpses of the views as you near the top. The property’s reverse-level layout spans three floors, with a curved staircase leading up to the top floor that maximises the stunning vistas. Inside, a Mediterranean-style decor awaits, with plenty of wood, white walls and splashes of colour throughout. You’ll love relaxing in the top-floor living area, a beautiful space with a high wooden ceiling and large patio doors. Comfortable sofas provide the perfect spot to relax and take in the views, while the attached kitchen sets you up for a sociable cooking experience. The roof terrace is a wonderful spot to kick back as you listen to the seagulls and watch the gentle bobbing of boats in the harbour.

Within 0.5 miles you’ll have Swanage’s Victorian-style seafront and pier, plus plenty of shops, cafés and restaurants to explore. The South West Coast Path is joinable 300 metres away, so you can embark on blissful strolls through lovely scenery without needing the car. Other treats to look forward to are the stunning vistas of Corfe Castle at sunset (6 miles) and the dramatic cliff-top view of Durdle Door (16.5 miles). Additionally, the 4-mile sandy beach starting 4 miles away in Studland Bay offers gorgeous dunes and panoramic views across to Poole.

It was hard to leave this property at the end of the week; I could happily live there for the rest of my life. The lounge is so comfortable and I'm sure no one would tire of that view. It's a peaceful location away from the bustle of the town but close enough to enjoy everything gorgeous Swanage has to offer.
