16 Peveril Heights is situated on the first floor of a purpose built block located in a good position approximately 300 metres from the sea front and adjacent to 'The Downs'. Peveril Heights is a popular development of some 18 apartments, constructed during the 1970s and standing in their own well managed grounds with access from Sentry Road.

This fine apartment offers modern, spacious accommodation with a private balcony giving good views of Swanage Bay, the Pier and Ballard Down in the distance. It also has the considerable advantage of a garage and visitors' parking.

The seaside resort of 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 cottage and more modern properties.  To the South is the Durlston Country Park renowned for being the gateway to the Jurassic Coast and World Heritage Coastline. The market town of Wareham which has main line rail link to London Waterloo (approx. 2.5 hours) is some 9 miles distant with the conurbation of Poole and Bournemouth being in easy reach via the Sandbanks ferry.

The entrance hall leads through to the generously sized living room, with sliding doors opening to the private balcony which enjoys views over Swanage Bay, the pier and Ballard Down in the distance. Leading off, the modern kitchen benefits from similar views and fitted with a range of white units, contrasting worktops and space and plumbing for integrated appliances.

Balcony  3m x 1.80m (9'10" x 5'11")
Kitchen   3.78m x 2.42m (12'5" x 7'11")

Bedroom 2   3.20m x 3.10m (10'6" x 10'2")
Bathrooom   2.37m x 1.90m (7'9" x 3'6")

Outside, the communal grounds are landscaped and mostly laid to lawn with a rockery section and mature shrubs and trees. A single garage is situated in nearby block within the grounds and there is a Tarmacadam courtyard with visitors' parking.

TENURE   Whilst technically held on a 999 year lease from 1970, at a nominal ground rent, the freehold of the development has been purchased by the lessees who have formed a Limited Company to administer and control the flats. There is a shared maintenance liability, which currently amounts to £1,400 per annum. Long lets and pets are permitted, holiday lettings are not.

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
