Description

This charming Grade II listed townhouse is located in the historic market town of Wareham, nestled within a conservation area that reflects its rich heritage. Close to the scenic quay and the River Frome, this property boasts easy access to a variety of local amenities, including shops, schools, restaurants, and recreational facilities. The mainline railway offers convenient connections to Weymouth and London Waterloo, enhancing its appeal for commuters. With three bedrooms spread over four levels, this characterful townhouse presents a unique opportunity for those interested in renovation and investment potential. While the home requires substantial modernization throughout, it offers a flexible layout that can be tailored to individual tastes. The spacious reception hall serves as a central hub of the home, while a sitting room—previously utilized as an additional bedroom—can adapt to various needs. The kitchen/breakfast area is functional but awaits a contemporary update to maximize its utility. Descend to the cellar for additional storage or potential workspace; this forgotten space could become a valuable asset with some imaginative enhancements. At the rear of the house, you'll find a conservatory leading out to an enclosed walled garden—a tranquil outdoor retreat that has plenty of charm but also room for improvement. On the first floor, there’s a generously sized second sitting room or bedroom and another smaller bedroom with views towards the river and rolling Purbeck Hills. The family bathroom contains ample room for refurbishment with both shower and bath facilities already in place. The uppermost floor houses the principal bedroom, which features built-in wardrobes and impressive views that create a calming atmosphere at day’s end. Outside, the walled garden includes attractive elements such as stone paving and raised decking; meanwhile, access through narrow pathways makes the double carport more suited for alternative uses like bicycle or kayak storage rather than conventional vehicle parking. With part secondary glazing and gas-fired central heating already installed, this property is well-equipped while still holding significant potential for enhancement. This townhouse not only offers comfortable living spaces but also represents an excellent canvas for future development in one of Dorset's most appealing areas near riverside activities.
