  • A stylish house set in an elevated spot within walking distance of the town centre
  • Stroll down to the popular sandy beach before testing out one of the many cafes and pubs
  • Plan long walks through the beautiful Purbeck hills or  explore the many landmarks to be found lining Jurassic Coast on the South West Coast Path, which is easily accessible from the property
Property code: OC-77624

The perfect home for explorers, this brilliant bolthole sleeps four over three bedrooms and sits close to beautiful coastal spots and places to explore inland. Just a mile from the dramatic twists and turns of the South West Coast Path and Swanage Beach, enjoy sandy days and sea swims before heading back to unwind in style. Cosy up inside or continue your evening with a sundowner feast on the decking and enjoy your elevated position with views over the Dorset Hills.

Descend the sloped driveway, with parking for two cars, unload your bags and step inside to unpack and make yourselves at home. Head straight through to the open-plan lounge/diner, which is filled with natural light and cool, tranquil tones. Cosy up on the curved, corner sofa and light the wood burner effect electric fire for a relaxing welcome home from adventures, or pile the dining table high with treats, open the balcony doors and let the fresh air flood inside. Ample space in the kitchen means you can designate a couple of chefs to rustle up a storm to be eaten either inside or out. When it’s time to say goodnight, climb stairs to the first floor where a double bedroom and two single bedrooms await weary heads. With lovely views over the Purbeck Hills, rise and shine and admire your surroundings before freshening up in the family bathroom.

With so many places to explore, plan your time wisely and make the most of your fabulous location. Spend a beach day at Swanage (1 mile) with its golden sands, crystal seas and delicious eateries. From here you can follow the 9-mile Purbeck Ridge Trail past Old Harry Rocks towards Corfe Castle, where magical remains are cared for by the National Trust. Take a dip in the tidal pool at Dancing Ledge (1.5 miles), where a refreshing dip is a great to start or end your day (dependant on the tides). A 17.5-mile journey east will take you to the magnificent archway at Durdle Door, whilst a 16.5-mile trip takes you to the iconic, Lulworth Cove.

Its a beautiful house and very comfortable. We reported ants and someone arrived that day to tackle the issue. Our only issue was the drive has a hump that grounded our car, damaging the undertray. Ours is an estate car which is longer than an average hatchback/suv etc. Other reviews mentioned parking on the drive could be tricky.

A very comfortable holiday home with excellent views of the Purbeck Hills. It is in a quiet residential road and has 2 pubs, a Costcutter shop, Indian restaurant and fish and chip shop all within a 5 minute walk.

Quite a large semi but only one small WC upstairs could be a real problem especially when catering for 4 people. Really needs a downstairs loo too. Plumbing is real guesswork as some taps have hot on the left (which is the correct standard) others have cold flowing from the left. Found this very enjoying at times. Otherwise, a good place to stay apRead moreart from all the hills and a really steep driveway. Hide
