Embrace the breathtaking beaches, walks and scenery of the iconic Jurassic Coast from this family-friendly contemporary first-floor apartment nestled in the heart of Swanage, the perfect base for a seaside escape. Located on the Isle of Purbeck, the coastal town of Swanage is a haven for those looking to answer the call of the sea. Enjoy a traditional bucket-and-spade day at the gloriously golden sands of Swanage Beach, a level walk and just less than half a mile away, which is found on the South West Coast Path and offers deck chairs, pedaloes and kayaks for hire, perfect for sun seekers and water sports enthusiasts alike. Journey through the beautiful Purbeck countryside aboard a traditional steam train on the picturesque Swanage Heritage Railway half a mile away; hop off the line at Corfe Castle 5.5 miles away to explore the ancient castle ruins.

Set on the first floor of a newly built apartment building from 2022, this contemporary seaside getaway is accessed through a shared entryway and staircase. A delightful entrance hallway welcomes you into the heart of this home-away-from-home and leads to the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, which is flooded with natural sunlight from the lovely large picture window. Combining an earthy, neutral colour palette that perfectly complements the vibrancy of the local coastline with captivating contemporary touches, this wonderfully social space provides everything you need to unwind, cook, and dine after a busy day at the beach. Back through the hallway, you’ll find two bedrooms, one king-size and one twin, both offering an oasis of calm to retreat to for a well-deserved rest. A stylish, contemporary family bathroom completes this homely retreat.

The property is accessed via a shared path from the parking area at the rear, which offers an off-road space for one car. Although there is no outdoor space, green areas and the beach are within half a mile of the doorstep, perfect for peaceful picnics and soothing strolls.

Comfortable, clean and well-equipped. Although close to the town centre - convenient for shops ans the Swanage Railway - the flat was quiet. Wifi available too.

A lovely comfortable place, easy to get to the pubs, restaurants etc and the lovely beach. All kitchen cleaning stuff provided but take your own shower gel. Parking is very convenient. A very large and comfortable bed.
