Sunlight House
Description
The Space
As you approach the townhouse, you're greeted by a row of pastel coloured terraced houses, all with feature bay windows. The soft pastel hues of the exterior paint exude a timeless elegance, perfectly complementing the surrounding coastal landscape.
Step inside Sunlight House, and you're immediately welcomed by stunning high ceilings along with original hardwood and tiled floors. The cosy living room to your left, is a comfortable place to relax and unwind after a day of exploring the Purbecks. From the living room, double doors open to a cosy piano room, complete with armchairs, stereo system and a piano for guests to use. Through to the back of the house, is an open plan kitchen and dining area, with a farmhouse style dining table, bench seating and double doors that lead to the enclosed garden at the rear.
Set over three floors, the property offers plenty of space for a large family, or for two families holidaying together. Up to the first floor, there are two bedrooms; a King master bedroom, and a single bedroom (with feather duvet) with trundle bed which is available on request. Both share the stylish family bathroom, complete with freestanding roll top bath and walk in shower. There is a cloakroom with W.C. just next door.
Two further bedrooms are located on the top floor, a double with stunning sea views, and a double overlooking the garden. These bedrooms share a family bathroom located just across the hallway.
Step outside into the private courtyard garden, a quiet space amidst the bustle of the town. Sip your morning coffee or enjoy a glass of wine in the summer months.
Situated just a 5 minute downhill walk from Swanage's vibrant shops, restaurants, and attractions, Sunlight House offers the perfect blend of convenience and tranquility. Stroll along the promenade, explore the quaint boutiques, or embark on an adventure along the stunning Jurassic Coastline, all within easy reach of your Victorian retreat.

Reviews
We were a party of 5 adults and 2 children visiting swanage for 1 week for the first time. We booked last minute and were just amazed at how lucky we were to stumble across this little gem. Sunlight house is a charming property full of character, beautifully decorated to give a cosy warm feel. It is located just a few mins away from the beach up a steep hill (good exercise after eating mountains of ice cream at Baboos). 2 of the rooms have views of the beach. The sheer number of amazing books on display was fantastic. There were also loads of DVDs and a really good selection of family board games. The bathroom on the middle floor was gorgeous. The rooms are a good size. I've never been to a holiday letting where the host provides a good amount of dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid and toilet roll - so thoughtful. There were also very kind gestures like some complimentary ginger biscuits, apricot jam and 2 pints of milk to help us settle in. It was very much appreciated. It seems the property was the childhood family home of one of the owners and this was beautifully captured in the presentation of the house. The hosts were also responsive to our messages and any needs/requests made. Swanage is a fabulous place to visit. There's so much to do! We very much enjoyed coastal walks, visiting durlston country park, Corfe castle, old Harry rocks and also driving to Kimmeridge bay to look at the amazing fossils. Absolutely wonderful holiday! Thank you Jurassic coast holiday homes.
We had the most amazing week at Sunlight House. The house is beautiful and really well set up. The beds are super comfortable and it has all the home comforts you need including a really well stocked kitchen. It's a short walk to the beach and to all the shops and cafes so really convenient. It really feels like a home from home - lots of great books to read and pictures to look at if that's your thing and a lovely little garden and terrace for sitting out in the evenings. The area is fab with so much to see and do. Jurassic Coast Holiday Homes were so helpful and great to deal with and we were really happy with every aspect of our stay. Couldn't ask for more! Hugely recommended.
Great place to stay with family and only a 5 minute walk downhill to the beach and town centre.
