Property code: OC-WY559

A smart barn conversion, 1 mile from the seafront of Swanage, one of the most popular stretches of sandy beach in the Dorset AONB. The barn features an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, three versatile bedrooms and an attractive enclosed garden. It is perfect for active families or groups searching for a relaxing base from which to explore the Jurassic Coast.

The two-storey barn is set within the grounds of a farm on the outskirts of Swanage, surrounded by breathtaking rural vistas. Inside, the barn’s original beams and exposed stone walls blend seamlessly with stylish fixtures and soft furnishings, with umpteen details catching the eye throughout its bright and colourful rooms. An open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner dominates the ground floor, with access to the garden through bi-fold doors at its far end. It’s a comfortable place to unwind, watch family films or just enjoy a glass of fizz in good company. A family bathroom and a super-king-size bedroom are located on the ground floor, while a king-size bedroom and a bunk bedroom are found on the first floor. Both of these first-floor bedrooms have sloping ceilings and stand close to a shower room. Outside, the enclosed garden is split between a patio and lawn area, with plenty of space for al fresco meals, games and sunbathing.

The vibrant centre of Swanage is home to an impressive array of family-friendly shops, pubs and other attractions, while its sandy beach is hugely popular all year round. The Jurassic Coast offers stunning natural features and beaches, including Dancing Ledge (4 miles) and Studland Bay (3 miles). Ballard Down, Townsend Nature Reserve and Durlston Country Park and National Nature Reserve (all within 5 miles) are wonderful settings for long family walks.
