Wisteria Cottage is a spacious five‑bedroom detached home set in about half an acre of mature, landscaped gardens on the fringe of Corfe Mullen. The house blends traditional cottage character — cob walls, leaded timber windows and brick fireplaces with wood burners — with practical modern additions such as UPVC double glazing and a recently converted self‑contained annexe/studio. The annexe adds versatility for guests, home office use or rental income.
Interior space is generous and well‑proportioned: two large reception rooms with wood burners, a sizeable kitchen/breakfast room with an adjoining utility and cloakroom, plus a large principal bedroom with fitted furniture and an en suite. The converted former double garage provides a living/kitchen area, bedroom and en suite, together with useful stores and a wisteria‑draped terrace linking the two buildings.
Externally the property offers excellent off‑road parking behind electric double gates, extensive terraces, lawns, established fruit trees and outbuildings. The plot’s scale, privacy and countryside setting will suit families seeking space, gardeners or buyers wanting an annexe for flexible use. Nearby schools, local shops and scenic walks on Upton Heath add to the location appeal.
Practical points to note: heating is oil‑fired (boiler and radiators) so running costs should be considered; drainage is private rather than mains; broadband speeds in the area are very slow. Council tax banding is described as expensive. Overall, the cottage presents comfortable, characterful accommodation with scope for modernising or adapting to a buyer’s needs.
