Property code: OC-WY358

This respectfully renovated Victorian apartment in Swanage is the ideal accommodation option for small families, groups of friends or a couple who want to experience a little historic charm while they discover Swanage and the Jurassic Coast. Spend a wonderful day stretched out on the town’s glorious sweep of sandy beach (150 metres) or rent a kayak or pedal-boat and hit the water. Enjoy a game of bowls, tennis or pitch-and-put at Swanage Beach Gardens (0.5 miles), or get away from it all and explore the 4 miles of beaches at Studland Beach and Nature Reserve (3.5 miles). Protected by the National Trust, this gorgeous area boasts a diverse range of heath, wetland and woodland, which is home to all six species of native British reptiles. Hop on board the Swanage steam railway (300 metres) and take a day trip to Corfe Castle (5.5 miles), one of Britain's most evocative survivors of the English Civil War. Climb up through the romantic ruins to enjoy breathtaking views across Purbeck. Alternatively, take a circular sightseeing cruise to Poole from Swanage Pier (0.5 miles). Along the way, you’ll enjoy some stunning views of Old Harry Rocks and Brownsea Island.

Step inside this single-level apartment and you’ll discover a delightfully styled living room with a beautiful feature fireplace. It’s the ideal spot to slip onto the sofa and enjoy long, lazy evenings in front of the TV with your loved ones. When it’s time for dinner, head through to the chic and modern kitchen/diner, where you’ll find everything you need to let your culinary skills shine, and then get the gang together for a sociable dinner at the dining table. When the day is done, there are two beautifully dressed bedrooms to choose from – a stylish double and a quaint twin. A smart family shower room and a chic en-suite shower room round off the apartment’s impressive layout.

Step outside and you’ll find a well-maintained shared lawned garden to the front of the property. This is an excellent spot to lie out on the grass and take in the sea air while you think about the adventures to come.

This property was in an ideal situation near to the beach and the shops. The beautifully kept and secluded front garden was an asset as you could sit and relax with a cup of tea and because of the high hedge you were in observed .

Such a great location, less than a minute's walk from the beach. A couple of parks a few minutes walk away, as well as the town and railway. Really nice personal touches in the property, felt very comfortable on our week's holiday with two children aged 7 and 10. We would definitely look to book here again on our next trip to Swanage.
