Description

A lift rises from the smart, hotel-style lobby directly to the top floor, where the top floor lobby serves this contemporary, 3 bedroom apartment, offering complete seclusion and exclusivity. The property has been designed to embrace its commanding position above the bay, with sweeping coastal views stretching across Swanage Bay towards Ballard Down and the Isle of Wight.

The spacious ENTRANCE HALL curves around the apartment, giving a generous sense of openness. To the right, near the guest cloakroom, there is ample space for hanging coats and storing boots. Guests are drawn immediately to the SITTING/DINING ROOM where full height folding glass doors beautifully frame the magnificent sea view. The PRIVATE BALCONY spans the full width of the apartment and provides an outstanding vantage point for sunrise and for watching the ever-changing coastline, yet still quiet and set back from the road. Interior finishes are refined, with contemporary flooring, considered lighting and a colour palette chosen to complement the coastal setting.

The open plan KITCHEN sits just beyond the dining area and is fitted with elegant minimal cabinetry, integrated Neff™ appliances and coordinated worktops. A separate UTILITY ROOM offers valuable additional storage and accommodates the laundry appliances, allowing the kitchen to remain sleek and uncluttered.

The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM enjoys the same dramatic ocean outlook with floor to ceiling folding doors opening to the balcony. It is unusually spacious and can comfortably accommodate a sofa or reading area. It has both an EN SUITE DRESSING ROOM with bespoke shelving and automatic lighting, and an EN SUITE SHOWER ROOM finished to a contemporary, high specification.

BEDROOM TWO is a generous dual aspect double with fitted wardrobe which in many homes would be considered the principal bedroom. It is positioned close to the FAMILY BATHROOM which is finished in a luxurious contemporary style and includes a bath. BEDROOM THREE, also dual aspect, has been used as a home office and benefits from excellent natural light and strong connectivity. If used as a third bedroom it can accommodate a double bed and is conveniently close to the GUEST CLOAKROOM, which is again spacious and beautifully styled. A separate storage cupboard houses the air circulation system with additional space for items such as ironing boards, vacuum cleaners or golf clubs.

A whole home FRESH AIR CIRCULATION SYSTEM operates throughout the apartment. It introduces clean filtered air from outside rather than recirculating internal air, creating a comfortable and healthy environment year-round and helping to regulate temperature naturally. The property also has underfloor heating throughout.

Outside
Shore House stands within attractively landscaped and well maintained private, communal gardens that make the most of the uninterrupted sea views. Well-tended flower beds, established shrubbery and paved seating areas provide a choice of sunny and sheltered places to relax, offering both open viewpoints across the bay and quieter corners to enjoy coastal breezes on a bright spring day.

The new owner will also benefit from exterior refurbishment works and redecoration, making Shore House one of the most impressive and well-presented developments along the seafront.

Secure gated access leads to the covered parking area where the apartment has two allocated spaces together with visitor parking, a rare luxury in Swanage.

Location
Shore House occupies one of the finest positions along the Swanage seafront. The sandy beach lies directly opposite and the flat walk into town provides effortless access to its cafes, restaurants, shops and services. The position is enviably close to the shoreline, enjoying sweeping views across Swanage Bay towards Ballard Down and the Isle of Wight and convenient access to Durlston Country Park and the Jurassic Coast.

Swanage lies at the eastern tip of the Isle of Purbeck with a long, safe sandy beach that shelves gently into the sea, ideal for swimming throughout the year and much enjoyed by locals. The town has everything from the Mowlem Theatre with its year-round programme of live shows and cinema, to independent cafes, restaurants, galleries and a traditional butcher and fishmonger.

For those who enjoy an active lifestyle there are plentiful opportunities to make the most of the coast, including kayaking directly from the shoreline, local rowing clubs and several nearby golf courses. The surrounding coastline and Purbeck Hills offer some of the most impressive walking routes in the UK, attracting visitors from around the world.

About DOMVS, Wareham

8 South Street, Wareham, BH20 4LT

The DOMVS Approach to Selling Property

We always start with a clear strategy. We take time to understand your home, the local market and buyer behaviour, ensuring pricing and positioning are right from the outset. Every step in the process is meticulously considered, from presentation and marketing through to negotiation and completion.

We get that no two homes are the same, and neither is the way they should be launched. We tailor the approach to suit the property, whether that is a full market launch, an ‘offers over’ strategy or a discreet introduction through our Whisper List. Our role is to generate the right level of interest and convert that into a successful sale.

Once a sale is agreed, our dedicated sales progression team works proactively with all parties to resolve issues early and maintain momentum. This combination of preparation, negotiation and progression is what protects your sale and delivers results.

Our approach is shaped by three core values: integrity, empathy and determination. We give clear, honest advice, understand the personal nature of moving, and remain focused on securing the strongest outcome for our clients.

Our Marketing

Every property benefits from professional photography, carefully written descriptions and, where appropriate, enhanced visuals such as drone footage or virtual staging. This is supported by our in-house marketing team, who deliver targeted campaigns designed to reach an engaged and relevant audience. Our sellers benefit from:

• A fully optimised website attracting an average of 20,500 visitors each month

• Targeted email and digital campaigns to a database of over 20,000 engaged subscribers

• Social media activity generating over 60,000 monthly views and thousands of website visits

• SEO-led campaigns and tailored landing pages designed to connect specific buyers with specific properties

• Access to national and local press opportunities

Our Network

As members of The Guild of Property Professionals and The Mayfair Office, we combine local expertise with national and international reach, including a presence in London. Our Dorset-wide team works collaboratively, sharing buyers across all offices and introducing properties to audiences beyond their immediate location.

From country houses and quaint cottages to modern developments, we know how to present property in a way that resonates with both local and relocating buyers.

Our Services

Our sales team is complemented by a dedicated lettings and property management team, providing a fully managed service designed to protect property investments and minimise day-to-day involvement. Our holiday lettings team also supports owners seeking an alternative income stream.

Our new homes team works closely with developers and buyers, offering guidance from initial launch through to successful sales, while our Land & Development consultancy advises on site acquisition, planning and value optimisation for both individual plots and larger opportunities.
