Wareham, Dorset

This beautifully restored 1940s cottage has been loved and lived in by the present owners for several decades. Located in a semi-rural setting with views of fields and woodlands, and with easy access to the market town of Wareham, it sits centrally within its lovely garden.

The stable front door (actually located at the side) takes you into a VESTIBULE and then through to the HALLWAY and living accommodation. The OFFICE faces the side garden by the front door and BEDROOM 4/SNUG overlooks the lovely rear garden. Original parquet flooring runs throughout the hallway, office and bedroom 4.
The KITCHEN/DINING ROOM/SNUG has underfloor heating and is a marvellously versatile space, the modern kitchen units managing to reflect a contemporary farmhouse feel. An Evershot™ range sits between units which, in turn sit beneath attractive marble work surfaces. There is an integrated dishwasher, built-in microwave and hot/cold water tap. The kitchen area easily flows into the dining area where there is space for a generous dining table and chairs and then into the snug area with space for comfy chairs around a modern wood burning stove. Wide patio doors allow you to spill into the gorgeous garden. All in all, a wonderfully sociable space.

Double timber and glazed door then take you through to a very generous, yet surprisingly comfortable SITTING ROOM. A further wood burner sits beneath a rustic brick hearth which co-ordinates beautifully with a character red brick wall. A window to the side and large patio doors bring in light and offer access to the garden. Back into the hallway where there is a useful understairs cupboard and an equally useful ground floor W.C. The half turn stairs, with a lovely wide window overlooking the front cottage garden, rise to the first floor.

The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is a fabulously large room with views across the rear garden to the fields and woodlands that are behind the house, another window overlooks the side garden and fields beyond. The bedroom has an ENSUITE shower room, natural light coming in from the front window and an airing cupboard tucked into the corner. There is also a rather smart WALK-IN WARDROBE, which allows the room masses of space for bedroom furniture and comfortable chairs. BEDROOM 2 is another good-sized double room with a small built-in wardrobe and stunning views and BEDROOM 3 is a charming large single room, also with a built-in cupboard and those stunning countryside views. The FAMILY BATHROOM, rather like the rest of the house, is a generous size with a large bath - with a shelf for a glass of something after a hard day’s work - a separate shower cubicle, wash basin and W.C.

Outside
This rather special property sits squarely in a stunning plot on the edges of the Trigon Estate grounds. The property is approached via a track from the main road and through a 5-bar gate to the DOUBLE GARAGE/WORKSHOP and parking for several cars. The REAR GARDEN is then laid out in front of you and is, quite simply, delightful.

Mainly lawn but with colourful shrubs and plants dotted around in attractive beds, the original garage is now an extremely useful GARDEN SHED, there is a GREENHOUSE for potting up plants and a superb SUMMER HOUSE/HOME OFFICE, all of which have power to them. The lawn is expansive and runs to the left side of the house where there are fruit trees. The LARGE PATIO runs the length of the rear of the property with plenty of areas for seating and outside entertaining, a truly wonderful spot for family BBQ'S! To the right-hand side is a pretty brick-built arch which leads to the FRONT GARDEN. This is a spectacular cottage garden. A shingled seating area adorned with climbing roses and a timber arbour seat, sit adjacent the stable front door, then a gate takes you to the COTTAGE GARDEN, beautifully laid out in raised beds, this really is a touch of 'the good life!' The path takes you round the front of the house and down to a large, pretty garden gate and is lined with wonderful cottage flowers. The rest of the 'front' garden is mainly lawn with a wildflower area and places to sit and take in the garden. The rose covered path wends round to the stable door of the boot room.
