This Grade II listed, mid-terrace town house occupies a central Wareham address close to the river, quay and local amenities. At approximately 2,144 sq ft across four floors it offers generous rooms, high-level views from the top bedroom and a useful cellar and walled rear garden. Secondary glazing and gas central heating are already in place.
The property is a clear refurbishment project and will require modernisation throughout — the building dates from before 1900 and the stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated. Listed status will affect what can be changed and will cause additional costs and consent requirements for repairs or extensions. Narrow access limits the double carport to bicycles, motorcycles or boat storage rather than conventional car parking.
For a buyer seeking a renovation opportunity in a sought-after riverside location, the house offers a substantial blank canvas and strong potential for uplift. Note practical considerations such as above-average crime in the area, higher-than-average council tax band, and the need to budget for sympathetic listed-building works and insulation improvements.
