Spacious Family House. Three Minutes Walk to the Beach. Big, Sunny Garden | House in Swanage
5 Bedroom House in Swanage
We are relaunching our house after works and refurbishment in 2025. I am able to offer a discount on some mid-week stays of 3 nights or more; just use the CONTACT HOST button to let me know your desired dates.
A spacious, light-filled family house with views to Ballard Down to the rear and less than 5 minutes gently sloping walk to the beach. Very quietly situated in a residential road. Generous parking for 2 cars to the side of the house. Unrestricted parking in the road outside the house.
Wide, lawned garden, good for football/outdoor games. Barbeque and large picnic table for outside dining. Very comfortably furnished, two large sitting rooms, (one for you, one for the kids!) one with French doors and verandah, both with TV and DVD. Extensive children's DVD library. Internet access. Lots of children's games - Lego, Brio railway (bring your own trains), building blocks, wooden castle and pirate ship, marble run as well as board games and others. Teepee for those who like a den. Boules, badminton, cricket, hoopla, Jacques croquet set and target game for the garden.
Large, comfortable eat-in farmhouse type kitchen, window seat and views of hills. Generously equipped kitchen meant for cooking - Le Creuset casseroles, decent cook's knives etc. The table in the kitchen seats 6 adults comfortably, 8 is cosy and 10 is a squeeze. The house is very suitable for families and intergenerational stays and we often have children eat first then adults later. Having said that, we had New Year with adults, teenagers and younger children totalling 11 squeezed in - myself perched on a stool at the counter. So it depends how you like it. Big front porch and generous utility room for all the beach stuff. Five bedrooms, (Superking, King and twin on the 1st floor. Two twins on the 2nd floor.) All lovely, comfy beds, no bunk beds. One very large bathroom with separate shower cubicle and original oak cased twenties bath, which has two entrance doors so may be ensuite if wished. One family bathroom with walk in shower. The twin bedroom on the 1st floor has a sink which helps with teeth cleaning pressures. There is an extra separate loo upstairs and a cloakroom downstairs sporting the original Edwardian thunderbox. (4 loos in total)
It is the perfect house if you want a classic Enid Blyton holiday. Once here you don't need the car except to do a big shop at the Co-Op (or not even that if you internet shop). The house is very suitable for two families sharing who don't want to be on top of each other and also multi-generation stays, particularly as the gentle walk to the beach is suitable for all ages. If you love walking you can join the coast path almost immediately outside the house. You can set off directly to Corfe Castle, which is a magnificent walk along the top of the ridge with a view over to Poole as well as towards Corfe. A fantastic day's walk is to do the full loop back to Swanage via Chapman's Pool and Worth Matravers. Great pubs in Corfe, Kingston and Worth for lunch on your way. Or you can head to Studland village and beaches over Ballard Down. The open top bus stop is at the end of our road, so you can have a one-way walk and a ride home! Maps, local books and guides are in the bookshelf in the house as there is so much fantastic walking to be done without getting in your car.
As well as fab days on the beach in summer, (when you can run back to the house to fetch cold drinks or food), evening swims are lovely. A peaceful swim, then straight back for a hot shower. Or another option is an early morning run ending on the beach, slip off the trainers and into the sea in the running gear. Drip your way home in a few minutes and hop in the hot shower!
Everything in Swanage is within easy level walking distance - shops, cafes restaurants, pubs, mini golf, tennis courts, (children's racquets at the house; bring your own balls) mackerel fishing, boat trips, boat hire, pitch and putt, children's playgrounds, crabbing, steam train, open-top buses, pier strolling, arcade, fishing, kite flying...and more! Wonderful day trips with the family to Corfe Castle (idyllic), Kimmeridge (fossils everywhere), Lulworth (castle and cove), Wareham (swimming pool, kayaking on the river, old-fashioned cinema), Tyneham (the lost village), Durdle Door, (iconic arch) Brownsea Island (Treasure Island with red squirrels and peacocks) and many more.
Please get in touch with me via the CONTACT HOST button to check on availability and exact pricing. Sometimes there is a weekend or midweek we would particularly like to sell (usually out of season) for which a lower price may be available. It's worth just sending me a message! I do suggest the below.
