Period cottage with large garden and barn, just outside Wareham town centre.
Grade II listed character cottage dating from the 1840s
This Grade II listed three-bedroom cottage sits just outside Wareham town centre and combines period character with a surprisingly large private garden. The house offers well-proportioned rooms, an inviting sitting room with a wood-burner, a separate dining room and a modern downstairs bathroom. A detached stone barn/outbuilding with power and lighting provides flexible space for a home office, hobby room or storage.
The plot is the property's standout: extensive rear lawns, mature borders, raised vegetable beds, multiple seating areas and a greenhouse create strong outdoor potential for families and gardeners. Internally there is eaves storage and built-in bedroom storage, while double glazing and mains gas central heating provide practical, everyday comfort.
Buyers should note the listed status and that any alterations or conversions (including barn conversion or extensions) will require listed-building permissions and may add time and cost. Parking appears limited and is likely on-street. The vendor is suited to a complete chain which could help a buyer with timing. Overall the cottage is tidy but offers scope for sympathetic updating to increase value.
This property will suit buyers seeking character, outdoor space and close access to local schools and amenities, rather than those needing immediate off-street parking or unrestricted renovation potential. Freehold tenure and reasonable council tax reinforce good ongoing running costs.
