Mr Rumsby
A beautiful grade 1 listed property which had so much character and was located within a few minutes walk of the seafront, station and a huge variety of shops, convenience stores, restaurants and takeaways. There was always ample on street parking so the lack of private parking was not an issue whatsoever. The large dining and living room area was fantastic and the garden was sheltered and ideal for eating outside.

This is a lovely cottage with 3 good size bedrooms and a great lounge and garden.The bathrooms too are a good size, the kitchen is small but well equipped. The location is excellent - 5 minutes to the sea and shops. Parking up the road but can park for an hour outside so good for loading up etc. Swanage is a lovely town- great walks and places to visit nearby.
