Characterful 3‑Bedroom Coastal Apartment with in Swanage Town Centre
Characterful Three-Bedroom Cottage in a Grade II Listed Building, Moments from Swanage Beach
The Ketch is a charming three-bedroom cottage set within a beautifully converted Grade II listed building, ideally located in Swanage town centre and only a few steps from the beach. With views over Swanage Bay and direct access to the historic High Street, this unique property forms part of the contemporary redevelopment of the former Ship Hotel—alongside Chandlers, The Ship Inn, and the onsite restaurant. Guests are perfectly positioned to enjoy the Stone Quay, Victorian Pier, and the town’s sandy beach, all just a short stroll away.
Accessed through a split-level shared courtyard, the ground floor opens into a welcoming hallway leading to a newly renovated lounge. This bright living space features a large sash window opening onto a small balcony overlooking the High Street, creating an ideal spot to watch Swanage life go by. The lounge offers comfortable new leather sofas, a large dining table, digital television, DVD player, stereo, and a generous supply of games, books, and toys—perfect for family stays.
The brand-new modern kitchen is fully equipped with a gas hob, electric oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer, and Nespresso coffee machine, ensuring everything you need for a convenient self-catering holiday.
The ground floor also includes two bedrooms: one with twin single beds and a second with full-size bunk beds. A family bathroom provides a bath with overhead shower, basin, heated towel rail, and w.c.
Upstairs, the first floor features a spacious eaves bedroom with a deep king-size bed and television, plus a separate cloakroom with w.c. and basin.
Additional features include gas central heating, and a small south-facing patio area with outdoor furniture. A travel cot is also provided.
With its town-centre location, coastal views, and blend of modern comfort and historic character, The Ketch offers an inviting and well-appointed base for exploring Swanage and the Isle of Purbeck.
