This superior first floor apartment is situated in a highly sought after location in South Swanage adjoining Durlston Country Park and the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline and is approx half a mile from the town centre and beach. No: 4 Hillcrest is situated in a purpose built block of two which is part of a larger development of some 20 properties. It is thought to have been constructed during the 1970s and has external walls of natural Purbeck stone, part tile hung under a pitched roof covered with concrete tiles.

The apartment has the considerable advantage of a large South facing living room with balcony leading off which enjoys fine views across Durlston Bay and the landscaped communal grounds.

Swanage lies at the south-eastern tip of the Isle of Purbeck. Much of the surrounding area is owned by the National Trust and is classified as being an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The market town of Wareham is some 9 miles distant and has main line rail links to London Waterloo (some 2.5 hours). The popular conurbations of Poole and Bournemouth and the exclusive Sandbanks peninsula are also within easy reach via the Sandbanks toll ferry.

Approached by its own personal entrance, the hall leads through to the spacious South facing living room with access to the semi-enclosed balcony offering fine views across Durlston Bay.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on August 19, 2023

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    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
