Dating back to the 1830s, this stylish Georgian property makes a lovely holiday retreat for four guests seeking a relaxing break in the idyllic Dorset coastal resort of Swanage. The apartment sits on the edge of the town, with a wide range of cafes, shops, pubs and restaurants within easy reach. Situated at the southern end of Swanage, the apartment is perfect for exploring The Downs, with Prince Albert Gardens, the Amphitheatre, Peveril Point and Monkey Beach all just a few metres away. Durlston Country Park is about a mile away, or you can take a steam train trip 6 miles west to the historic village of Corfe Castle. Dorset Adventure Park and The Blue Pool are within 11 miles.

A few steps lead up to the entrance to this bright and inviting ground-floor apartment. Inside you will find a spacious lounge with wooden flooring, a delightful window seat and an open fire, along with plenty of seating and a large window offering sea views. The dining area leads through to a beautiful kitchen with an impressive range oven and flagstone floors.

The apartment also features a relaxing shower room with a step leading up to the shower.

Outside, the front garden provides a lovely spot for a morning coffee and taking in the sea views. The secluded courtyard to the back catches the sun in the afternoon, and makes a charming space for dining alfresco.

Conkers is such a wonderful location! We found it perfect for dog walks, especially being so close to Monkey Bay where dogs can swim in the sea in the summer months. It was also ideal for using our kayak and paddle boards as we could store them in the courtyard and walk them down and be in the sea in 5minutes. Would definitely recommend.
