Large period villa with garden, garage and water meadow views — ideal for growing families.
Six-bedroom Victorian villa with over 2,500 sq ft
This substantial Victorian semi-detached villa occupies a large plot on the edge of Wimborne town centre, with views over Deans Court water meadows. Extending to around 2,500 sq ft across three storeys, the house retains many original features — high corniced ceilings, bay windows, exposed floorboards, quarry tiles and working Victorian fireplaces — giving immediate period character throughout.
The layout works well for a growing or multi-generational family: six bedrooms (two in the attic), two reception rooms, a breakfast room with Rayburn, utility and generous kitchen space. A long driveway and detached garage provide abundant off-road parking, while the semi-walled rear garden with mature fruit trees, timber store and a WWII air-raid shelter (currently a cellar) offer useful storage and outdoor scope.
Practical upgrades have been carried out: majority UPVC double glazing, gas central heating via a Viessmann boiler and well-maintained interior finishes, so the property is largely move-in ready. There is also scope to personalise the layout or adapt attic rooms further to suit changing family needs.
Notable considerations: there are only two bathrooms serving six bedrooms, which may require upgrading for larger households. Council tax is above average for the area. The house is Victorian and, while well maintained, will need periodic upkeep typical of period homes (e.g., chimney, joinery and older fixtures). Crime levels are average and flood risk is low.
