  • Bright, airy, top-floor apartment in an exceptional position within coastal Swanage
  • Impressive views out towards the sea, boats moored in the bay and the Victorian pier
  • Delightful accommodation for a couple on a romantic retreat to Dorset
Property code: OC-WY632

In a prime location 500 metres from Swanage Pier, this top-floor apartment is a dreamy spot for a couple’s escape on the Dorset coast. The elegant Grade II-listed building is also just 350 metres from the lively town centre, where you’ll find everything from colourful boutiques to charming seaside cafés – and of course, plenty of spots for some good old-fashioned fish and chips. History buffs will love exploring the nearby Purbeck countryside dotted with castles and heritage sites, while beach lovers can swim, sunbathe, or hire kayaks along the Swanage shoreline.

Inside, the one-bed apartment is bright and beautifully styled, with high ceilings and modern décor creating a relaxed, airy vibe. The open-plan living space has a comfy lounge area with a Smart TV, a sleek red kitchen for rustling up your favourite dishes, and a glass-topped dining table with front-row seats over the pier. The king-size bedroom has a luxurious hotel-like feel to it and there’s a stylish family bathroom where you can soak in the tub if you fancy it. For a breath of fresh sea air, pop down to the shared gardens – a peaceful spot to enjoy the sunshine. You’ll have parking for one car.

Swanage’s sandy beach is only 0.5 miles away – how about a morning dip? In the opposite direction, Peveril Point (0.5 mile), accessible via the South West Coast Path (350 metres), promises spectacular headland views across the Jurassic Coast. Or take a slightly longer ramble to Durlston Castle (1 mile) and its surrounding nature reserve. For a unique local experience, drive or walk to the village of Worth Matravers (4 miles), famous for its fossil museum and excellent ales and ciders.

The view over the pier and Swanage Bay is very special and it was lovely to sit in the window at the start and end of the day. It was great to be able to access the coastal path from our front door too. We were very fortunate to have lovely weather and had a very good week.

Very good views across Swanage bay. Good access to town itself. Parking is tight it states a medium car but we had a large car parked next to ours took them ages to manoeuvre in to the space. Kitchen area is very crowded therefore difficult to work in. No fan in bathroom which should ideally b3 in place.

This property is outstanding. The view is stunning and every amenity had been thought of. The inside of the flat was perfect. We have stayed in many properties in Swanage over the years and this is up there as one of the best. Would highly recommend. The climb up the stairs to the flat is absolutely worth it! We would definitely book again.
