Apartment in Dorset

Set above the town centre, this comfortable first floor apartment has good access to a great selection of bars, cafes, restaurants, shops and amenities. A stroll through town leads you to the golden sandy beach or access to the Swanage Railway (heritage steam and diesel train service) and sports facilities of the Beach Gardens (tennis, putting and outdoor bowls). You can take in the spectacular landscape that this area is renowned for through short or long walks, including on the South West Coast Path, directly accessible from the apartment. Swanage is the eastern gateway to Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. Nearby Durlston Country Park is well worth a visit and is home to a beautiful Victorian Castle with a cafe and restaurant, as well as being a national nature reserve. A short drive away, the spectacular beaches of Studland Bay are owned by the National Trust and include the most popular naturist beach in the UK. Historic Corfe Castle can be found some 5 miles north west and is home to the much photographed castle ruins and many quaint streets, or head 7 miles west to Kimmeridge and try out rock pooling and snorkelling. There are a variety of golf courses in the area which welcome non members, including the Isle of Purbeck and Wareham golf clubs. A communal entrance hall gives access to a shared staircase, which leads to this first floor apartment. On entering the property, you are met with an inner hallway with the open plan lounge/kitchen/diner immediately to the right. This light and bright space is well equipped with a gas hob and electric oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave and washing machine. There is room to dine just opposite and the wonderful bay window offers fabulous distant sea views whilst you enjoy leisurely meals. An inviting sofa and a TV with Blu ray player make this the perfect spot in which to unwind. Just next door is a cosy bedroom, with a small double bed and large picture window looking out over the rooftops to Swanage Bay. Opposite is a bathroom with bath and WC.
