A solid period cottage in Stanpit with genuine character and a large, private south-facing garden — ideal for someone seeking a peaceful retirement base close to the sea and nature. The house has original features including a bay window, exposed beams and an open fireplace, offering immediate charm while also presenting scope to personalise and modernise.
The layout includes two reception rooms plus a conservatory that frames the garden, a kitchen with separate utility and ground-floor WC, and three bedrooms served by one family bathroom. Off-street parking for multiple cars and a garage add practical appeal for visitors and storage. The property has double glazing (install date unknown), gas central heating and cavity walls.
Important practical points: the home has not been updated for some time and requires renovation and modernisation throughout. There is realistic potential to enhance or extend subject to planning permission (STPP) — a chance to add value or tailor the layout for long-term comfort. Council tax is above average, and the house is traditionally constructed (c.1900–1929), so buyers should allow for routine maintenance associated with an older property.
Location is a key strength: a short stroll to Stanpit Marsh nature reserve, Mudeford Quay and local amenities including pubs, shops and bus links. Flooding risk is low and the area is very affluent with low crime rates, making this a quiet, well-regarded neighbourhood for retirement living.
