Bere Regis, Nr Wareham, Dorset

This detached period home is believed to have been built in the 1800's. The original building is cob and the newer extension is traditional build. This is an incredibly versatile home and offers the opportunity for a large family and the ability to work from home quite comfortably. There is updating required and some work to do, however, there is the opportunity to make this home something quite special.

The Entrance Hall is stone-flagged and leads to the main reception rooms, the kitchen and a rear access door. The generous Sitting Room has a large wood burner set within a stone fireplace, a window seat is set to the side and beams make this a very cosy room. Double glazed doors open onto the Conservatory and equally large room, light and airy and also generous in size, double patio doors allow you to spill out into the garden on pleasant days, making the most of the space.

The Kitchen/Breakfast Room overlooks the rear of the property and is large enough for a good-sized dining table for informal meals. There are fitted base and wall units and integrated dishwasher and fridge. Leading off the kitchen is the large Utility Room with a useful Cloakroom with W.C., and rear access to the parking area.

Off the entrance hall is the formal Dining Room, presently used as an additional sitting room by our vendors, and then into the Home Office, a really good space for working from home.

The First Floor has six good sized Double Bedrooms. The Principal Bedroom is particularly charming with timber beams and views across the garden, this has an En-suite with bath and shower and on the other side of the landing is Bedroom 2, which has an En-suite shower room and equally pretty views.
