Perfect for couples or young families in search of a relaxing escape to the Dorset coast, this idyllic cottage sits in the charming seaside town of Swanage. Backed by a golden sandy beach, the town offers a great selection of shops, galleries, restaurants and pubs together with a delightful Victorian pier. At the end of a busy day of discovery with your four-legged friend, return to the property for a cosy night snuggled up in front of the roaring wood burner.
Tastefully refurbished throughout, this Grade II listed former quarryman’s cottage offers a stylish blend of old and new. Rustle up romantic meals in the handmade kitchen, with its oak cabinets, range oven and Belfast sink, before dining at the farmhouse table in the lounge. On chilly evenings, fire up the wood burner and settle in for a cosy evening of TV on the sofa or armchair before climbing the cottage-style stairs to the stunning bedrooms. Stepping outside, the pretty courtyard is an ideal place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee with the pooch at your feet while enjoying the distant views over the Purbeck hills. Due to the age of the property, there are areas of restricted head height, steep stairs, changes of level and beams throughout, which add to its character and charm.
The popular seaside town of Swanage is steeped in character, history and charm, with its Victorian pier, amenities, golden sandy beach and attractions. Take to the water with a spot of fishing, diving, sailing or boating or stay on dry land for a long stroll along the South West Coast Path with your canine companion. Head inland to explore the many nearby picturesque villages including Langton (1.5 miles) and Worth Matravers (3 miles) or jump on the steam train from Swanage to the village of Corfe Castle (4.5 miles), home to historic ruins owned by the National Trust.
