Situated above Swanage on the owner’s smallholding, this charming getaway offers a unique blend of countryside and coastal living. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the countryside to reach Swanage Pier, home to a selection of eateries and attractions or hop on the nostalgic steam train at the Swanage Railway Station to explore Corfe Castle. Just half a mile away sits the stunning Durlston Country Park and National Nature Reserve offering 320 acres of breathtaking countryside and coast surrounding the magnificent Durlston Castle. And 5 miles in the opposite direction, you can spend a day discovering the beautiful National Trust beaches at Studland and Godlingston Heath National Nature Reserve with its rugged cliff tops and panoramic views.
Reached by a single-track tarmacked lane, on arrival at the former stable, step inside through its French doors to find a double-aspect, open-plan living space. Comprising the kitchen, lounge and dining area, the space is all on one level and features a vaulted ceiling. Sit back and relax on the comfortable sofa as you take in the unspoiled views through the patio doors and fire up the electric flame-effect log burner if you’re feeling the chill. A Smart TV provides evening entertainment. The bright and airy kitchen offers everything you’ll need to cook up delicious meals before sampling your efforts in the dining area, complete with blissful views through the floor-to-ceiling patio doors. On further exploration, you will find the tastefully furnished bedroom with en-suite and 5 ft double bed, complete with seaside theme and the view to match.
The exterior is equally as impressive, with raised terrace areas complete with seating and a BBQ alongside a pretty lawn. A small barn near to the property houses a washing machine and freezer.
