Chestnuts, is a 3 bedroom bright and airy, character filled, apartment, occupying 1st and 2nd floors of listed Georgian building, with great views over The Downs and Swanage Bay. The terrace was built in 1830 by William Morton Pitt, a Member of Parliament representing Dorset. He had a vision of transforming Swanage from a small quarrying and fishing town into a Victorian seaside resort.
***************************************************************************************************
Chestnuts is very close to the seafront and shops, a short 3 minute walk down Seymer Road. The flat is full of character and comfortably well furnished with three bedrooms on the second floor, two of which overlook the Downs, Swanage Bay and the Pier. There is a WC and washbasin on the same floor.
On the first floor we have a front lounge overlooking the Bay with 2x sofas, tv. There is a seperate dining room at the rear of the main house with dining table and chairs.
Kitchen is at the rear of two storey rear addition which also benefits from the seperate bath/shower basin and WC.

The shower is controlled by thermostat with the left side controlling flow and the right side controlling temperature. Please open the window after use to allow moisture to escape as the extractor is not always sufficient. The shower has good water pressure and temperature. Please hook the shower curtain into the wall before use to prevent water leaking onto the floor.
