Wareham, Dorset

Welcome to a home that harmoniously blends the past with the conveniences of contemporary living. This attractive home has been lived in and loved for many years and is looking for a new custodian to bring some fresh life into it.

Stepping through the front door into the delightfully angled porch, ideal for discarding boots and hanging coats after a walk around the ancient Saxon walls. Then into the entrance/dining hall, with its polished mahogany staircase which sets the tone for the charm that permeates the entire property.

The open-plan kitchen and dining room offers direct access to the magnificent gardens. This space is perfect for hosting intimate dinners or large gatherings, with the verdant backdrop adding a touch of serenity to every occasion.

The sitting room, complete with an open fire, offers a cosy retreat with views across the garden. The drawing room, showcasing an original fireplace and breathtaking garden views, is the perfect spot for quiet contemplation or lively conversation with family and friends.

The sleeping quarters, located on the upper level, consist of three generous double bedrooms. Each room offers wonderful views of the gardens and Purbeck Hills, or the church tower, providing a peaceful start to each day. The main bathroom, enchantingly located on a mezzanine level, is a luxurious haven with a claw foot bath and separate walk-in shower - the perfect place to unwind after a day of kayaking on the river. A second bathroom with slipper bath serves bedrooms two and three, ensuring ample facilities for family and guests.

Through the dining hall and into a wonderfully self-contained annexe, perfect for generational living, passive income, or even for overflow guests. It is delightfully flexible and definitely useful.
