2 Bedroom Flat - £265,000
'Harberton' is situated on a prominent corner site approximately 150m from Swanage Health Centre, bus station and town centre facilities. The sea front and beach are within easy walking distance. Flat 3 is situated on the ground floor in a building thought to have been constructed in the late 19th Century and converted into apartments during the 1980s. The building has local Purbeck stone elevations under a pitched roof covered with clay tiles.
The seaside resort of Swanage lies at the eastern tip of the Isle of Purbeck, charmingly surrounded by the Purbeck Hills. It has a safe, sandy beach, and is an interesting mixture of period stone cottages and more modern properties. It also boasts an historic steam railway. 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 10 miles distant with the large towns of Poole and Bournemouth being within reach via the Sandbanks ferry, 6 miles distant.
The property offers spacious accommodation with gas-fired heating, an en suite shower room to the main bedroom and allocated parking. Fitted carpets and blinds are included in the purchase.

Oliver Miles handled the purchase of our new property. It was a long and challenging transaction. Oliver Miles demonstrated great professionalism in progressing the transaction and using local contacts to keep moving things along and keeping all parties informed.
We are very grateful for their help and support and wouldn't hesitate to recommend and would certainly use Oliver Miles in the future. Many thanks to Jackie, John and the team.
I have just sold a property with the help of Oliver Miles Estate Agent. I can't thank the staff enough for their help and support over the last few months.
They have first class knowledge of the local market; they are all very professional, and always friendly and helpful. Jackie in particular was an absolute lifeline to me at times: always supportive and very, very efficient.
I would certainly use their services again, and I would not hesitate to recommend them. They will help to make buying / selling your property so much easier (let's face it - moving is not the most stress-free thing to do!). Thank you all at Oliver Miles.
