Burlington Road, Swanage

Rarely available, this luxury penthouse is located in one of the finest positions facing the sea and commands dramatic unrivalled views across Swanage Bay to the Isle of Wight and Peveril Point enjoyed from nearly every room. Mariners Watch is a prestigious modern development occupying an elevated clifftop position in the sought after area of North Swanage, approximately 50 metres to the beach. It is in our opinion one of the finest penthouses in the area, standing in immaculately maintained grounds with landscaped gardens at the rear and private access to the beach below.

This apartment has been thoughtfully and meticulously remodelled by the current owner transforming the space creating a contemporary, fluid plan. Amongst the many outstanding features of this apartment, the generously sized living room has glazed sliding doors spanning the full width of the room leading to the balcony framing the magnificent sea views extending the coastal indoor/outdoor living. On the upper floor the principal bedroom has bi-fold doors opening to a private roof terrace commanding similar extensive views. Arranged over two floors, the accommodation comprises 1,184 sq ft (approximately) and throughout the apartment it is evident that considerable attention has been given to creating ample storage solutions. In addition, Apartment 11 has historical use of a locked storage cupboard next to the principal bedroom on the top floor by agreement with the management company.

It is thought to have been constructed during the 1980s of traditional cavity brick under a pitched roof covered with  concrete interlocking tiles.

Upon entering the penthouse, the spacious entrance hall welcomes you to this luxury apartment. The well proportioned living room has full width glazed patio doors leading to the good sized balcony with similar views and ample space for outdoor dining and relaxing. Leading off, the dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with an extensive range of luxury white gloss kitchen units, granite worktops and a full suite of high quality integrated appliances including electric hob, oven & warming drawer, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, water softener, freestanding washing machine with Italian ceramic floor tiles.
