Sea Breeze Cottage, while benefiting from all the advantages of a relatively new build, has the charm of a traditional Dorset stone cottage, having been constructed with local Purbeck stone. Whether returning from a seaside walk to relax in front of the fire or enjoying a quiet drink in the sun-drenched courtyard on a balmy evening, Sea Breeze Cottage quickly feels like home.<br/><br/>Entering through the front door, there is a light and airy HALLWAY with space for coats and boots. Off the hall there is also a ground floor W.C.<br/>This leads into a generous SITTING ROOM with contemporary flooring running through and a fireplace, currently unused, but an ideal location for a log burner. There are windows out towards the front, but the eye is automatically drawn towards the private sunny garden, surrounded by established planting and drenched in sunlight. A large doorway opens into the KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM, which in turn has double doors opening into the courtyard garden. Being south facing, the kitchen is flooded with natural light throughout the year. The well fitted kitchen includes an additional window above the sink, again looking out to the pretty garden. This light filled room has space for a breakfast table, although most meals tend to be served in the garden.<br/><br/>Stairs lead to a bright and spacious LANDING from which all other rooms can be accessed. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is a peaceful retreat with dual aspect windows looking out across rooftops towards Ballard Down and features an ensuite shower room. The SECOND DOUBLE BEDROOM, currently furnished as a twin room with a window overlooking the garden below, has wall to wall wardrobes and is located next to the FAMILY BATHROOM. The landing also has a roomy airing cupboard and potentially enough space to extend, subject to the necessary consents.<br/><br/><b>Outside</b><br/> To the front of the house is a small and pretty garden setting it back from the lane, surrounded by stone walls and a wooden gate opening onto a path leading to the front door. To the right of the three cottages is the cottage’s parking, which can easily accommodate two cars nose to nose, a rare find in Swanage.<br/><br/>The walled courtyard garden is particularly appealing, catching the sun through much of the day until early evening. As the photographs show, there is ample space for a dining table, barbecue and raised beds for growing vegetables. The history of the area is reflected in the Purbeck stone forming the boundary walls and the flagstones underfoot.<br/><br/><b>Location</b><br/> Tucked away on Bell Street, one of the older streets in the heart of Swanage, the property forms part of the town’s historic core, linking the High Street with the lower ground leading towards the seafront. Valued for its period cottages, stone walls and sense of enclosure, the street sits within the conservation area, preserving its distinctive historic character. Its appeal lies in being a short walk from the beach and town centre, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful and distinctly old Swanage.<br/><br/>The position is wonderfully convenient. A family run butcher, bakery and convenience store are all within a couple of minutes’ walk, while the seafront and Swanage’s pubs, cafés and restaurants are just a little further down the road. Numerous footpaths connect directly to the Jurassic Coast and the Purbeck countryside beyond, offering beautiful walks in every direction.<br/><br/>If you are looking for peace, character and the simple pleasure of coastal life, Sea Breeze Cottage provides it in abundance.<br/><br/><b>Directions</b><br/> Use what3words.com to navigate to the exact spot.
