The BEDROOM has an array of fitted wardrobes, comprising hanging rails and storage shelves. The Bedroom overlooks the front garden.

The WET ROOM comprises wash hand basin, shower and W.C. From the inner hall stepping into a further vestibule is a useful store.

Outside
The garden has historically clearly been much loved.

Either side of the straight entrance path are areas of lawn with borders adding both colour and interest.

To the east, there is a personal gate and a path that leads to the southwest facing garden. This area includes additional lawn, bordered by plants, and has historically accommodated a vegetable garden, ideal for those interested in cultivating their own produce.

Practical storage solutions are thoughtfully provided with a robust brick outbuilding and an adjacent timber shed, ensuring ample space for all your gardening tools and outdoor equipment.

This garden offers a simple, peaceful retreat, perfect for enjoying the outdoors in a manageable and functional setting.

Location
This home enjoys a position on the edge of Sandford Heath, with attractive natural landscapes close by. The area benefits from excellent everyday amenities, including a well-regarded primary school, convenience stores, a GP surgery, Post Office and church, making it a practical and well-connected place to live.

The property is just a short distance from the historic riverside market town of Wareham, approximately 2.5 miles away, offering boutique shops, cafés, restaurants, an independent cinema and scenic boat trips along the River Frome to Poole Harbour.

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

Our Network

About Our Wareham Team

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.
