Characterful three-bedroom home with garden, parking and solar panels.
Three bedrooms with two reception rooms and separate kitchen/breakfast area
Set in the conservation-area village of Stoborough, this three-bedroom terraced cottage combines period character with practical modern touches. The sitting and dining rooms both have feature fireplaces and wood burners, while the kitchen/breakfast room and separate utility make daily life straightforward for a family. A generous rear garden, greenhouse and two brick outhouses suit keen gardeners and outdoor entertaining.
Practical features include double glazing, solar panels and an electric boiler with radiators, plus off-street parking and a modest plot. The property is offered freehold and chain-free, with nearby primary and secondary schools rated Good, local amenities and easy access to Wareham and the Arne RSPB reserve.
Important factual considerations: the house is a mid-terrace built before 1900 with solid brick walls (no known cavity insulation) and an overall average internal size of about 993 sq ft. The property experienced groundwater flooding in 2014; the current owners have installed multiple flood defences and mitigation measures (front flood gates, rear flood door, waterproof flooring, underground pump and wall waterproofing). Prospective buyers should verify the effectiveness of these measures and insurers’ terms.
This home will suit families or buyers seeking a character cottage with outdoor space and rural views, but it will also appeal to anyone prepared to invest in improving thermal insulation and to review flood-protection documentation. Council tax is Band C.
