Set below Wareham’s historic North Saxon Walls, this Grade II-listed detached house blends pronounced period character with generous family-orientated space. Five bedrooms, three reception rooms and three bathrooms sit across a well-proportioned 2,520 sq ft layout that easily lends itself to multi-generational living or a rental split. The house occupies a large riverside plot with terraces, greenhouse and parking for several vehicles plus a garage.
The riverside position delivers exceptional views across the River Piddle and water meadows and creates a secluded feel, while being an easy walk to the town centre and mainline station. The orangery/conservatory and principal reception rooms maximise light and outlook, and ultrafast broadband and strong mobile signal suit home working.
Important practical points are clear: the property is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and complicate some works; parts of the building are historic stone with little assumed wall insulation; and water ingress has occurred in the past. Robust flood defences and recent conservation-team internal works were completed (September 2023) and a pumping arrangement discharges waste to the mains sewer.
For families or buyers seeking character and location, this is a rare riverside opportunity that combines privacy, space and a striking historic setting. Buyers should budget for ongoing maintenance, consider listed-building consent for changes, and commission a specialist survey focused on damp, drainage and fabric repairs before committing.
