Description

Middle Copse offers a distinctive property with considerable renovation and investment opportunities. Nestled in a serene environment, the home benefits from beautifully maintained gardens that not only provide outdoor living space but also attract diverse wildlife. The unique microclimate, courtesy of surrounding trees, adds to the allure of this setting. The property features bi-fold doors that seamlessly connect the living spaces to a sun-drenched terrace overlooking lush woodlands and scenic views of the Purbeck Hills. Built in 1922 by the current owner’s grandfather, the house retains impressive Arts and Crafts period elements such as oak carvings and paneling, creating a characterful backdrop for modern enhancements. The kitchen is a key focal point with an iconic red Heritage Range™, providing heating and cooking capabilities. It flows into a comfortable breakfast area while offering easy access to a larder and preserving room. The drawing room boasts original features including a stone fireplace, while additional living areas present both charm and functionality. With ample bedrooms on both levels, there are various options for customization. The outdoor spaces include formal and wildlife ponds as well as a kitchen garden equipped with raised beds and greenhouse facilities—ideal for those passionate about gardening and sustainability. The potential extends beyond just cosmetic upgrades; projects could encompass extending livable spaces or repurposing areas like the potting shed into an annexe or home office. With its proximity to local amenities in Wareham and excellent walking trails in the surrounding areas, this property holds great promise for those willing to invest in revitalizing it.
