Description

A very spacious, light, character, family house with views to Ballard Down to the rear and only a few minutes gently sloping walk to the beach. Very quietly situated in a residential road. Spacious parking for 2 cars to the side of the house. Unrestricted parking in the road outside the house.

Wide, lawned garden, good for football/outdoor games. Barbeque and large picnic table. Very comfortably furnished, two large sitting rooms, (one for you, one for the kids!) one with French doors and verandah, both with TV and DVD. Extensive children's DVD library. Internet access. Lots of children's games - Lego, Brio railway (bring your own trains), building blocks, wooden castle and pirate ship, marble run as well as board games. Wigwam (bring your own Chieftain's gear). Boules, hoopla, croquet and bean bag targets for the garden and a house kite. We are less than 5 minutes gently sloping walk to the beach. Everything in Swanage is within easy level walking distance - shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs, mini golf, tennis courts, mackerel fishing, boat trips, boat hire, pitch and putt, children's playgrounds, crabbing, steam train, open-top buses, pier strolling, arcade, fishing, kite flying...and more! Wonderful day trips with the family to Corfe Castle (idyllic), Kimmeridge (fossils everywhere), Lulworth (castle and cove), Wareham (swimming pool, kayaking on the river, old-fashioned cinema), Tyneham (the lost village), Durdle Door, (iconic arch) Brownsea Island (Treasure Island with red squirrels and peacocks), Arne (bird watching and views of Poole harbour) and many more. It's a nature and walkers' paradise and when you book I give you a heap of information about walks and activities that might appeal.

Large, comfortable eat-in farmhouse type kitchen with AGA, window seat and views of hills. Properly equipped kitchen - Le Creuset casseroles, decent cook's knives etc. The table in the kitchen seats 6 adults comfortably, 8 is cosy and 10 is a squeeze. The house is very suitable for families and intergenerational stays and we often have children eat first then adults later. Having said that, we had New Year with adults, teenagers and younger children totalling 11 squeezed in - myself perched on a stool by the AGA. So it depends how you like it. Big front porch and generous utility room for all the beach stuff. Five bedrooms, (Superking, King and twin on the 1st floor. Two twins on the 2nd floor.) All lovely, comfy beds, no bunk beds. One very large bathroom with separate shower cubicle and bath which has two entrance doors so may be ensuite if wished. One family bathroom with hand shower and bath. Both are the original twenties fixings with big baths in oak cases. The twin bedroom on the 1st floor has a sink which helps with teeth cleaning pressures. There is an extra separate loo upstairs, There is a cloakroom downstairs sporting the original Edwardian thunderbox. (4 loos in total)

It is the perfect house if you want a classic Enid Blyton holiday. Once here you don't need the car except to do a big shop at the Co-Op (or not even that if you internet shop). The house is very suitable for two families sharing who don't want to be on top of each other and also multi-generation stays as the gentle walk to the beach is suitable for all ages. If you love walking you can join the coast path almost immediately outside the house. You can set off walking to Corfe Castle or Studland or you can catch the open top bus from the end of the road to Studland or Shell Bay and then walk back.

Although we are dog-lovers, sadly we don't accept pets visiting the house.

Please get in touch with me via the relevant link to check on availability and exact pricing. Sometimes there is a weekend or midweek we would particularly like to sell (usually out of season) for which a slightly lower price may be available. It's worth just sending me a message!

Out of season, it is often possible to have early arrival and late departure.

Lovely house with parking

By Sandra Harris on 25-Oct-2025

A very homely house with everything you need for a great stay. A lovely stay in a beautiful house with parking.We found the kitchen well equipped and the range type cooker was great.There is plenty of space inside and out to enjoy playing the many games available to use. Great location with only a 5 min walk to the beach and short stroll into the town. A great house in a perfect location.

A really lovely house

By Jane Hattam on 02-Aug-2025

We stayed in this lovely house for a family holiday in August, to celebrate a special birthday, ages ranging from 12 to 80. The weather was perfect and we were able to use the great garden space for eating out , breakfast as well as in the evening. The house benefits from having two sitting rooms, which were great for games after dinner. The best bit of all is how close we were to the beach. Children, big and small, were in and out of the sea several times a day! We shopped locally, the Co-op was good, and there’s a very nice butchers in town. We got our birthday cake from Love Cake, pre-ordered, which was delicious. Can recommend Pier Head for an excellent meal too.

Ideal location

By L Howard on 23-Aug-2025

A beautiful and spacious house, furnished to a high standard and perfect for our large family group (visiting for the second time). Being close to the beach and only a short walk to the amenities of Swanage, this house was great for our multigenerational group (ages 6 to 73). The children enjoyed playing on the large lawn - with the alternative of toys and games indoors if the weather changed. Excellent cooking facilities, comfortable beds and a quiet location were appreciated by the grown-ups. We would thoroughly recommend 7 Victoria Road and hope to stay there again soon.

Perfect

By David on 23-May-2025

We have stayed in a few different properties in Swanage and this one is the best by far. The owner, Vicki , has left nothing wanting and her attention to detail is outstanding. The house is beautiful both outside and inside and has such a lovely warm atmosphere it is like being at home. The children loved all the toys and games which we played every evening. The little ones cried when we had to leave. I am quite fussy when it comes to holiday homes but can honestly say that I could not find a single thing to complain about. Thank you so much Vicki and I hope to stay again.

This was a fantastic house for our three generation family holiday

By Teresa Wood on 07-Sep-2024

The house is fantastic location for a three generation family holiday . It is a very spacious house with plenty of loos and bathrooms . Our three and one year old grandchildren loved it . The beach is in easy walking distance and the views from the kitchen are beautiful . There is also lovely garden which was perfect for barbeques . There are lots of fabulous toys in the house which were greatly enjoyed by the grandchildren. Vicki send extremely detailed instructions regarding everything in the house , we enjoyed cooking on the AGA very much and also very useful details about everything there is to do in the local area , walks, local parks for the children , food places etc , Vicki could not have been more helpful . We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return .
