4 bedroom detached house for sale

Welcome to Beehive Cottage.

This cottage has the feel of a gentleman's residence about it, tucked away at the end of a bridlepath, nestled into the countryside and sitting above the River Frome.

Set in approximately 1.14 acres, there is scope to realise a lifestyle change. Here you could set up a vegetable patch, have a chicken coop and start to live a more sustainable life.

There are outbuildings that could be converted into an annex, to let out for a secondary income, enabling you to achieve that work/life balance.

This handsome cottage has loads of character and really needs to be loved again.

Step in through the front door, to a generous HALLWAY, from here there are doors through to a handy W.C., and the living accommodation.

The SITTING ROOM has a brick-built fireplace, which currently houses a log burner, there is a bread oven too. The brick mantal runs the length of the room. Windows look out to one side of the garden and there is a door through to the CONSERVATORY. This, one could imagine, is the perfect spot to sit and enjoy the garden. Doors currently open out to a sunny patio.

The LIVING ROOM is a large light filled room, with a separate external door and views out to the garden.

The KITCHEN/DINING ROOM feels like it was once loved and lived in, with a cosy space set apart for dining, and plenty of cupboards for storage. A large range hob is inset, with retro green tiling. A window over the sink with views to the garden. Through the door, there is a utility space and more storage, and a door that leads from the kitchen to a covered glass, tiled outdoor room and then out to the rear garden.

From the hallway and through a hidden door is a surprising ANNEXE with SITTING ROOM, DOUBLE BEDROOM, BATHROOM AND KITCHENETTE. It has its own private entrance from the side of the house - perfect for extended family, or perhaps a passive income?

Upstairs you will find FOUR DOUBLE BEDROOMS, and a FAMILY BATHROOM.

There is scope for modernisation and recreation. Let your imagination go!

Outside
The approach to Beehive Cottage is truly romantic and although only a few minutes’ drive from the Saxon walled town of Wareham, it has the feel of a rural retreat.

The 5-bar gate opens up to the driveway and there is plenty of parking for multiple cars.

The garden was once a well-tended and loved domain. There is evidence of well-established plants and shrubs and nicely lawned areas too.

It really is a voyage of discovery, wandering through, you will come across the perfect location for the chicken coop, a stream, a paddock, a place to grow veggies and a place to soak up the sun.

There are garages and outbuildings, a glass house and a summer house. Explore and let it ignite your imagination.

Location
The property is set in very private surroundings just off the A352 and approx. 2.5 miles from the Saxon walled, riverside market town of Wareham. A pretty town which has an eclectic mix of shops and restaurants and mainline rail link to London/Waterloo.
