5 The Long House is situated on the ground floor of a small detached, two storey block, which stands in a superb sheltered position on the Southern slopes of Swanage. Originally Victorian stables, the property was converted into six individual apartments in the 1950s with direct access from the private gardens to 'The Downs' and only a short distance from Durlston Country Park, the Townsend Nature Reserve and the town. The Long House is thought to be of brick construction, externally cement rendered under a slate roof.

Whilst in need of some updating the apartment has the considerable advantage of its own personal entrance, a pleasant southerly aspect, and an integral garage.

Swanage lies at the Eastern tip of the Isle of Purbeck delightfully situated between the Purbeck Hills. It has a fine, safe, sandy beach, and is an attractive mixture of old stone cottages and more modern properties, all of which blend in well with the peaceful surroundings. To the South is Durlston Country Park renowned for being the gateway to the Jurassic Coast and World Heritage Coastline.

You are welcomed to this ground floor apartment by its own personal entrance. The porch opens to the good sized living room which enjoys a pleasant southerly aspect. Leading off, the dining room is also South facing and could be used as third bedroom or home office if required. The separate kitchen is fitted with a range of wooden fronted units, contrasting worktops, integrated electric oven and gas hob and space for a washing machine.
