Description

Nestled on approximately 1.5 acres of serene woodland, this detached four-bedroom house presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment. Located on the outskirts of Wareham, a historic Saxon market town, the property combines a tranquil setting with convenient access to local amenities, including shops, restaurants, and a mainline train station that connects to London Waterloo. The home features an inviting entrance hall characterized by a stone staircase and vaulted ceiling, providing a glimpse into its potential charm. The spacious sitting room includes a classic fireplace and offers views of the lush gardens, while the separate dining room and kitchen—alongside a practical cellar—provide ample space for both daily living and entertaining. Completing the ground floor is a convenient WC. On the lower ground floor, four bedrooms await, including a master with an en-suite shower room. Two additional bedrooms enjoy picturesque views over the property’s expansive grounds, allowing you to appreciate nature right from your bedroom window. The existing layout is functional yet ripe for modernization; there are multiple avenues to enhance both space and design according to personal style. Externally, the property benefits from driveway parking and presents significant potential for expansion or modification (subject to planning permission), making it an attractive blank slate for investors or buyers looking to create their dream home in this idyllic location. Additionally, features such as double glazing and gas central heating provide essential comforts while you consider your renovation plans. This unique property embodies not just a home but also an opportunity to transform it into something extraordinary within one of Dorset's sought-after settings. Whether you're looking to restore its original character or embark on an innovative redesign, this cottage stands ready for its next chapter.
