This delightful stone cottage nestles in the heart of Swanage on Dorset’s sun-soaked Isle of Purbeck and offers fantastic access to the seaside resort’s bustling centre, sandy beaches, and family-friendly attractions. Most of Swanage is hilly, but this property benefits from level access into the heart of town where Swanage Beach (300 metres), seaside amusements, and a wealth of cafes, restaurants and pubs await. Walkers will delight in the trails that lead out of town and into rural Dorset, while the South West Coast Path is just 300 metres away and offers scenic trails towards Studland Bay (3.5 miles) in one direction and Peveril Point (1 mile) in the other. Swanage Railway Station is 200 metres away, and a scenic train journey leads to the National Trust’s dramatic Corfe Castle (5.5 miles). Other nearby attractions include the walled market town of Wareham, The Tank Museum, and Monkey World (all within 16 miles).
Sleeping up to six guests across three floors, this welcoming cottage is built from local Purbeck stone and offers sumptuous accommodation to extended families and friends with the dogs in tow. Step inside and notice the original cottage features like exposed stone walls and wooden flooring that combine with modern, homely comforts. Kick-off sandals and walking boots in the hallway before turning right into the social heart of the home, the open-plan lounge/diner, where more exposed stone adds character to the space. Unwind in the comfortable seating here, flicking on the Smart TV to catch up on your favourite shows, or perching at the coffee table with your holiday read. When stomachs start to rumble, lay the dining table in this room and walk through to the well-appointed kitchen where you’ll find all the space and amenities needed to whip up feasts for your loved ones, as well as a separate utility room. When day turns to night, walk up the cottage-style stairs where three peaceful bedrooms are spread across the first and second floors. On the first floor, choose from a welcoming double bedroom, and a king-size room with a peaceful workspace for any mid-holiday emails. A well-appointed family bathroom and separate shower room complete this floor. Upstairs, on the second floor, awaits a delightful king-size bedroom set under the eaves. Exposed stone walls, wooden beams and a large skylight combine to offer a rustic, airy place for a peaceful night’s sleep.
Outside, to the rear of the cottage, is a compact but characterful courtyard garden where you can relax with a morning brew or evening tipple. Find a charcoal BBQ and outdoor furniture here too, making al fresco meals a breeze.
