An elegant apartment set in a Victorian property 0.5 miles from Swanage town centre and beach, two of the most popular attractions found anywhere in the Dorset AONB. The dog-friendly apartment enjoys sea views and features an open-plan lounge/diner, versatile bedrooms and an enclosed courtyard garden. It is the ideal base for a family holiday on the Jurassic Coast, with easy access to Durlston Castle and Country Park.
The two-storey apartment looks out over a residential street surrounded by other characterful properties. Its deceptively spacious interior is blessed with period and contemporary character, which combine to create a homely ambience throughout the year. Accessed by a side staircase, the apartment has plenty of room for guests on two legs or four paws. The open-plan lounge/diner is ideal for group gatherings, with the bonus of an open fire, and town and coastal views from its balcony. The nearby kitchen has everything foodies keen to experiment with local ingredients could need to create memorable feasts. There are two twin bedrooms within the apartment, one on the first floor, another on the second floor. There is also a king-size bedroom on the second floor, with gorgeous sea views. A family bathroom stands on the first floor. The enclosed courtyard garden at the side of the property is a lovely setting for a picnic, al fresco drinks or quality time with a good book.
Swanage (0.5 miles) is one of the most popular seaside resorts in the south of England. It is home to a Victorian pier, a vibrant town centre and a beach that has been loved by sunbathers and water sports enthusiasts for generations. The town is a terminus of the Swanage Steam Railway, which can take dogs and humans through picturesque countryside en route to attractions including Corfe Castle (6 miles). Durlston Castle and Country Park (2 miles) offers coastal walks through wildflower meadows and woodlands.
