This seaside cottage sits in a quiet lane in the heart of Swanage, just a few minutes from the award-winning beach. It is steeped in history and was, at one time, a tearoom.

Going through the front gate, into the paved sunny front garden, takes you to the front door. Step into the bright SITTING ROOM, with a fireplace and Purbeck stone features including a window seat, this cosy room is flooded with light from the front. From here you step into a second reception area which the current owners use as a DINING ROOM. This has a door opening onto the rear garden and feature stairs leading to the upper floors, also a step down into a elegant kitchen. The KITCHEN has been stylishly refurbished in galley style but with high ceilings and large windows that look across the courtyard, it feels light and airy. The kitchen includes contemporary bamboo base units with ample workspace, stainless steel sink with chef’s tap, gas hob and electric oven.

From the dining room, stairs lead up to the first landing, where on the right is a DOUBLE BEDROOM, currently used as an office, with polished wood floors and views across the town.

On the right you enter the FAMILY BATHROOM, which is surprisingly spacious, indulgent, and relaxing. It has an exceptionally large bath with overhead shower, brushed copper fittings, original wooden floors and separate cupboard housing the washing machine. Furthermore, it is fitted with a low-level W.C, pedestal wash hand basins and a brushed copper towel rail. Light cascades in from a good-sized window, which overlooks the garden.

Up the stairs again, and on the left is the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM, which is spacious and light, with more original floorboards and great views across the town. On the right and concluding the accommodation is a third DOUBLE BEDROOM which is currently used as a craft room with further polished floorboards along with loft access.

Outside
The front garden, surrounded by low brick walls, affords the house considerable privacy, despite its central location.

From the rear of the cottage, a door opens onto an enclosed COURTYARD, which again has original features and cottagey charm. The current owners have a dog, so it is completely pet safe. There is a covered seating area where the current owners enjoy the outside space at all times of the year. The garden has access to the town through a rear gate in the garden and has a small ‘gardener’s loo’ which could easily be converted into a smart laundry room, boot room or even a shower for rinsing the sand off when returning from an early morning dip!

Location
Located in the beautiful seaside resort of Swanage and close to the Purbeck countryside. Swanage is famed for its long sandy beaches and this property is tucked away in the heart of the town centre, surrounded by independent shops, artisan cafes, galleries, and all you might expect of a thriving seaside town. A heritage steam railway, which travels to historic Corfe Castle, is just a few minutes’ walk away.

From Swanage you are a short ferry journey to the large cosmopolitan town of Bournemouth, a short car journey from the Saxon walled town of Wareham; with its mainline links to London/Waterloo you can be in the capital within 2 ½ hours.
