Description

A handsome house built in the 1820's, The Old Manse has an imposing street presence.
From the moment you step through the front door, as you walk through this lovely home, you can appreciate the warmth and good vibes that emanate through this fabulous period home.

This elegant and surprising home is furnished to a superb standard and blends original features with modern technology and amenities.

The elegance of the SITTING ROOM, with its generous size, focal log burner and Purbeck Stone surround does not disappoint. This is a wonderful room for entertaining friends and family. The DINING ROOM is spacious and has been renown for formal and informal parties and gatherings, with the charming round stained glass window a delightful feature.

The large KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM is the epitome of modern family living, wrapped in a simple elegance, and a fluid curved style. There is plenty of light being drawn in through multiple windows, there are fitted units throughout, and Gaggennau™ appliances.

There is ample space for a breakfast table for informal meals within the kitchen, it has been used as a gathering point at most family get togethers!

Through the kitchen is the UTILITY ROOM, surprisingly large with ample storage space and a separate W.C/CLOAKROOM.

There is also a STUDY, with good internet access, suitable for house management and working from home, alike. This room has been previously used as a home business and a place to host clients, proving that it is possible to have a separate space to have a secondary income, should you want one.

The garden is accessed from here, a separate door leads from the rear drive and patio area in the garden.

From the hallway, stairs rise to the FIRST FLOOR landing where you will find the PRINCIPAL SUITE, which has a delightful bedroom with a DRESSING AREA and a very generous WALK IN WARDROBE. The elegant bathroom consists of a bath tub, separate shower, hand wash basin and W.C. DOUBLE BEDROOM 2, also has its own ensuite shower facilities and is a cosy retreat.

The stairs rise again to the SECOND FLOOR. This space could be used as a wing suitable for multi-generational living. There is a spacious landing, with a cosy chair for relaxing, a BATHROOM, with a bathtub, hand wash basin and W.C. and further accommodation. The DOUBLE BEDROOM has a modern ENSUITE SHOWER ROOM.

There are two further rooms. What a perfect space for HOME OFFICE and WORKROOM or STUDIO? Or could this be a PLAYROOM, or child's BEDROOM? You can choose and decide how this flexible accommodation is going to work for you.

Outside
What an extraordinary find, in the middle town! There is plenty of private PARKING, for up to 4 vehicles, all behind private wooden gates.

The sunny GARDEN has a pretty lawn area and established shrubs planted around.

There is a generous SUMMER HOUSE, which has electricity to it, and is the perfect place to enjoy the garden in any weather.

And SOLAR PANELS which give an extraordinary eco credential to a Victorian building! There is a feed in tariff, and they are included in the sale.

About DOMVS, Wareham

8 South Street, Wareham, BH20 4LT

The DOMVS Approach to Selling Property

We always start with a clear strategy. We take time to understand your home, the local market and buyer behaviour, ensuring pricing and positioning are right from the outset. Every step in the process is meticulously considered, from presentation and marketing through to negotiation and completion.

We get that no two homes are the same, and neither is the way they should be launched. We tailor the approach to suit the property, whether that is a full market launch, an ‘offers over’ strategy or a discreet introduction through our Whisper List. Our role is to generate the right level of interest and convert that into a successful sale.

Once a sale is agreed, our dedicated sales progression team works proactively with all parties to resolve issues early and maintain momentum. This combination of preparation, negotiation and progression is what protects your sale and delivers results.

Our approach is shaped by three core values: integrity, empathy and determination. We give clear, honest advice, understand the personal nature of moving, and remain focused on securing the strongest outcome for our clients.

Our Marketing

Every property benefits from professional photography, carefully written descriptions and, where appropriate, enhanced visuals such as drone footage or virtual staging. This is supported by our in-house marketing team, who deliver targeted campaigns designed to reach an engaged and relevant audience. Our sellers benefit from:

• A fully optimised website attracting an average of 20,500 visitors each month

• Targeted email and digital campaigns to a database of over 20,000 engaged subscribers

• Social media activity generating over 60,000 monthly views and thousands of website visits

• SEO-led campaigns and tailored landing pages designed to connect specific buyers with specific properties

• Access to national and local press opportunities

Our Network

As members of The Guild of Property Professionals and The Mayfair Office, we combine local expertise with national and international reach, including a presence in London. Our Dorset-wide team works collaboratively, sharing buyers across all offices and introducing properties to audiences beyond their immediate location.

About Our Wareham Team

Our Wareham office, on the town’s bustling high street, sits at the gateway to the Isle of Purbeck, an area known for its coastline, countryside and distinctive Dorset character. You’ll be working with Greg, who brings more than three decades of estate agency experience, alongside his local team of property specialists, all with a deep understanding of the town and its surrounding villages. From country houses and quaint cottages to modern developments, we know how to present property in a way that resonates with both local and relocating buyers.

Our Services

Our sales team is complemented by a dedicated lettings and property management team, providing a fully managed service designed to protect property investments and minimise day-to-day involvement. Our holiday lettings team also supports owners seeking an alternative income stream.

Our new homes team works closely with developers and buyers, offering guidance from initial launch through to successful sales, while our Land & Development consultancy advises on site acquisition, planning and value optimisation for both individual plots and larger opportunities.
