Owner says, "We've successfully run a business here and it's been great to have the flexibility to fit a business in around our lifestyle, making use of the cafes in town and lunches on the pretty quay."
This is a really pretty and characterful home, believed to have been originally built in the 1930's. It is close to the amenities of Wareham, and within walking distance of the railway station. It has been run as a successful B&B business which has provided both a more balanced work and lifestyle, and an income for the current owners. The striking black and white design make the cottage stand proud in its surroundings.
Step under the storm porch into a welcoming ENTRANCE HALL which provides access to many of the ground floor rooms and stairs to the upper living too.
The country-style KITCHEN is situated at the rear of the property and currently is deserving of a 5-star Food Hygiene rating. A large range master cooker takes centre stage. There is a well laid out flow to the kitchen, with plenty of well fitted cupboards and workspace. There are lots of niches for appliances and just off the kitchen is the UTILITY ROOM, which also has space for appliances and a door to the rear garden. Also on the ground floor is the very generous downstairs W.C, with so much space, it is currently used as a linen room. The DINING ROOM is a beautiful area to sit in; to dine and gaze through the doors onto the rear garden.
The bedrooms on the ground floor, have been used as part of the B&B business. They could easily be reconfigured to suit your family, or you could continue the business as it is using the simple template which has a proven record. The first DOUBLE BEDROOM has a bay window and a SHOWER EN-SUITE. The second DOUBLE BEDROOM is at the front of the property and has a SHOWER EN-SUITE. There are a further TWO DOUBLE BEDROOMS, which could be accessed by an external door, potentially creating an annexe, should you so desire. One of these bedrooms has a SHOWER EN-SUITE and the other bedroom has a SHOWER ROOM, just opposite.
Stairs from the entrance hall lead to the characterful LANDING. There is a sweet nook, under the eaves, with space for a comfy chair to curl up on and take in the views of the pretty rear garden. The SITTING ROOM has a red brick wall with a log burner set into it, you can imagine the cosiness that it brings to the room. Double doors open out onto a BALCONY, offering you a delightful place to take in the garden, and with space for a bistro set; you can take your morning coffee in peace here.
From the second floor living room, a door leads through to the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM, which has loads of character, and windows allowing natural light in. There is plenty of under eaves storage here.
Across the landing, there is further DOUBLE BEDROOM, generous in size and located just opposite the FAMILY BATHROOM. Here you can relax in the bathtub, but there is also a shower, W.C., and wash basin too.
From the road, a beautiful drystone wall sets the tone, the DRIVEWAY allows for plenty of off-road parking.
The FRONT GARDEN is partly grassed and features well planted and colourful flowers and shrub borders. A GARAGE sits to the rear of the driveway and has electricity and power points. It is a fabulous space for hobbies and tinkering away at projects!
A patio door provides access to the large and beautiful REAR GARDEN which is a gardener's delight. There is a POTTING SHED to the side of the house, perfect for gardening paraphernalia. The garden has patio areas for seating and outdoor entertaining but is principally laid to lawn with delightful flower borders and has a useful GARDENER'S SHED. The ornamental pond is a very pretty draw on the eye and filled with Koi Carp, who you can glimpse as they gracefully swim to the surface.
Located on the edge of the historic Saxon walled town of Wareham, the property is within easy walking distance of the town centre. This attractive town is an eclectic mix of shops and restaurants and boasts its own independent cinema. The quayside is a delight and there are lovely walks along the River Frome. The stunning beaches of Studland, Lulworth and Swanage are a short drive away and the Purbeck Hills and Arne Nature Reserve are close by and offer far reaching views of the breath-taking Dorset countryside. Wareham has a Yacht club and the Isle of Purbeck boasts several very good golf clubs. Number 10 is just a short easy walk to the main line station of Wareham.
