Swanage, Dorset

If looking for sea views from the moment you wake up to when you settle down for the evening, this is the perfect home for you.

Stepping into this spacious apartment you (and your guests) will inevitably be drawn to the coastal views that are laid before you in the cleverly designed living space, opening onto a sunny BALCONY which is also accessed from the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM.

Stepping into a HALLWAY from which all other rooms lead from, there is masses of additional storage space and it curls around the apartment, allowing for maximum space within the rooms.

The spacious SITTING ROOM immediately draws the eye to panoramic views of the SEA, COASTLINE, rocky outcrops and the rolling gardens below. With plenty of room for two sofas and a dining table, the double doors open onto the BALCONY which creates an enviable sense of inside/outside space.

Next to the sitting room is the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM which requires no wide-angle lens to capture the sheer space of the room. Again, there is direct access to the BALCONY and a further window capturing more coastal views. There is plentiful space for wardrobes and its own ENSUITE with step-in shower. A perfect place to lay your head on your pillow listening to the rolling sea outside.

Along a passage with plenty of additional storage space leads you to the KITCHEN, which has ample room for a table for four plus all of the usual appliances and worksurfaces you would expect for an apartment of this size. A large window floods the room with light and offers views of trees in the middle distance.

BEDROOM TWO is a light, airy, good-sized double with plenty of storage, currently laid out with twin beds but could easily accommodate a large double. Again, a large picture window floods the room with light.

The FAMILY BATHROOM is of good proportions and has been fitted with a wash hand basin, W.C., and bathtub.

Outside
The apartment is set within the peaceful grounds of a magnificent old school building that is packed with character.

The grounds are laid to lawn and planted with mature shrubs, all maintained by a management company overseen by residents.

There is plentiful parking for you and your guests, as well as your own GARAGE, which is equally useful for storing beach, golfing or sailing equipment. There are also communal bins for waste and recycling, shared by all residents of the estate.

The gardens of the property offer enviable PRIVATE ACCESS via a gate to the Jurassic Path which leads to Durlston Country Park and castle, and the world heritage Jurassic coastline. Walking the other way, the path takes you down the ‘zig zag’ path to the stony beach and links with Belle Vue Road and The Downs. This direct access and these stunning gardens distinguish this property from many others in Swanage.

Location
This is a surprisingly quiet and private location, nestled off the main roads and not obvious to passers-by.

Set approximately half a mile from Swanage town centre and beach. With many good restaurants in the town, tennis courts and a bowling green, and, of course, the long sandy beach.

The current owners enjoy walking to the town centre admiring magnificent views of the downs, the bay, the Isle of Wight and Bournemouth and beyond.

They also like to walk to the other end of Swanage, to the beaches below Ballard Down. There is another lovely coastal walk over Ballard to Studland, with more wonderful views, or the other way along the ridge to Corfe Castle, and maybe back by steam train.
