This Grade II listed maisonette occupies the first and second floors of a Georgian building in Wareham town centre, offering period character with modernised kitchen fittings and an allocated off-street parking space. The property is chain-free and arranged as a one-bedroom home with a separate study area — a practical layout for retirement living or downsizers seeking central convenience.
Important practical considerations are clear: the lease has 58 years remaining which may limit mortgage options and some lenders could refuse to lend. The listed status also brings planning and maintenance constraints that can complicate alterations and add costs. The flat currently needs renovation, and buyers should budget for updating and any specialist listed-building work.
Benefits include fast local broadband, easy walking access to shops, cafés and transport links, and an allocated parking space rare for town-centre homes. EPC assessment is exempt due to listed status. Note that local crime rates are above average; purchasers should factor this into security and insurance considerations.
Ideal buyers will be those seeking a character-filled, centrally located retirement pad or a refurbishment project with scope to personalise. Before proceeding, obtain specialist legal and mortgage advice regarding the remaining lease term and listed building constraints.
