Design and specification
The Persevere is a meticulously crafted floating home, built to the exacting specifications of its current owner and designer. Constructed eleven years ago, this airy two-bedroom sanctuary boasts a flat-bottomed design and an impressive ten feet of headroom throughout.

Floor-to-ceiling windows and generously sized port holes flood the space with natural light, while a built-in wood burning stove with back boiler provides the cosy warmth of a real fire and the convenience of central heating.

The heart of this floating haven is the sprawling 1000-square-foot living area with an open plan kitchen that's fully fitted with modern appliances, including oven, hob, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher.

Further back you'll find a useful utility room, spacious bathroom, and two double bedrooms that each spill onto a large deck.

Embrace sustainability with solar panels on the roof, LED lighting throughout, superior insulation, and connected to mains water showing off a system in place that processes the waste, pumping clear water back into the creek in a very environmentally friendly way. Eco living at its finest allowing anyone to exist with minimal electricity bills.

Entertainment and internet connectivity are sorted with a pre-installed Sky satellite dish and high-speed BT broadband. For those with grand visions, the structural integrity of The Persevere presents the tantalising possibility of adding a second floor.

HISTORY
Conyer is a hamlet that sits on The Saxon Shore Way, National Cycle Route 1, and Conyer Creek that opens into the Swale River. About a mile north of Teynham, it's a favourite stop for walkers exploring the paths between Sittingbourne and Faversham.
The area has Roman roots, and also a strong history of smuggling during the 18th and 19th centuries when Kent and Sussex were major centres of dubious trade.

Brickmaking & Barge building
The laidback Conyer of today was a completely different place during the industrial revolution when huge brickmaking and barge-building industries sprung up.
Barges took sand, mud, and cinders to local brickfields, then shipped the finished bricks to London, including the classic yellow stocks of the immense viaduct between London Bridge and Greenwich.
Between the early 1800s and the 1930s, hundreds of people were employed here across shipyards, seven brickfields, and a cement factory, with several pubs for the workers.
There was even a small railway linking Conyer to the nearby London to Sittingbourne line. Although it was dismantled after World War II, some of the original tracks are laid in the grounds of Persevere.
Today, Swale Marina remains alive with modern yachts and is a popular local destination with a pub and restaurant where the gentle rattling of masts in the wind provides a somewhat more mellow soundtrack than the industrial past.

AGENTS NOTES:

Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of these details, it should be noted that the measurements are approximate only. Floorplans are for representation purposes only and prepared according to the RICS Code of Measuring Practice by our floorplan provider. Therefore, the layout of doors, windows and rooms are approximate and should be regarded as such by any prospective purchaser. Any internal photographs are intended as a guide only and it should not be assumed that any of the furniture/fittings are included in any sale. Where shown, details of lease, ground rent and service charge are provided by the vendor and their accuracy cannot be guaranteed, as the information may not have been verified and further checks should be made either through your solicitor/conveyance. Where the property has been extended/converted, planning/building regulation consents. Where appliances, including central heating, are mentioned, it cannot be assumed that they are in working order, as they have not been tested. Please also note that wiring, plumbing and drains have not been checked. Many properties in Ramsgate and surrounding areas that we advertise can potentially be under the Manston airport flightpath, therefore in advance of making an informed decision on any property we market please make your enquiries with your agent directly in the first instance.

Identification checks

In the event that a prospective buyer or buyers successfully have an offer accepted on a property that VSL has listed, it will be necessary to undergo a comprehensive identification check. This procedure is meticulously conducted to fulfil our legal obligations as stipulated by Anti Money Laundering Regulations (AML).

To facilitate this essential requirement, we have engaged the services of a specialised third-party provider, Lifetime Legal, to meticulously verify the identity of the individuals involved. The fee associated with these identity checks amounts to £60, inclusive of VAT, per purchase. This fee is due in advance and is directly remitted to Lifetime Legal upon the mutual acceptance of an offer, before the issuance of a sales memorandum.

It is important to note that this charge is non-refundable under any circumstances. This measure is in place to ensure strict compliance with legal regulations and to uphold the integrity of our property transactions.

*Please be advised that calls may be recorded and/or monitored to enhance our training programs and ensure compliance with data protection regulations.

At VSL, we are committed to upholding the terms of any existing Sole, Multi, or Sole Selling Rights Agreement that may be in effect. As a matter of policy, we will refrain from actively marketing your property until such an agreement has either reached its natural expiration or been officially terminated. This approach is taken to ensure full adherence to contractual obligations.

It is imperative that the terms and conditions of any prior Agency Agreement are carefully reviewed and taken into consideration. Failure to do so could potentially result in the unwarranted obligation to pay dual commission fees. We prioritise transparency and ethical practices in all our dealings to safeguard the interests of our clients.
