Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Well, the sea and beach views from this apartment’s private balcony are stunning. You can enjoy the vistas from this home’s large windows in the living room, too. The bedroom is compact, and there’s not much storage here, but there is a wardrobe in the utility. Also, the kitchen is on the small side – that said, it has everything you need and there’s an array of eateries a short stroll away. And, of course, the beach is footsteps away. This place is the perfect base for exploring all that Dorset has to offer.

Home truths
There are twelve external steps up to the entrance of this property.
Unfortunately, this property does not accept children.
There is limited space to hang clothes in the bedroom, but a separate wardrobe is available in the utility room.
The fridge only has a small ice box so don't buy too many frozen foods.
For parking – unloading is possible on the seafront, then there is garage parking located a ten-minute stroll away. The car space entrance is 2.23 metres wide and 2.03 metres high and therefore can only accommodate a small to medium-sized car.
This place is right on the seafront, so you'll hear some noise here.
A welcome pack is provided.
