On the market for the first time since it was built in 1982 this well-loved detached family home has been a wonderful place for our current owners to bring up their family. This is a well loved home and needs, perhaps a little bit of TLC. Old Kiln Road is a super, quiet road in a lovely family friendly location in the middle of ever popular Ridge. With its rural feel, Ridge is close to the yacht club and the Arne Nature Reserve, yet within striking distance, less than 1.5 miles to all the amenities of Stoborough and the historic Saxon walled town of Wareham.

Seymour House has been extended in the past to create a spacious four double bedroom family home and is now in need of some general updating. There is plenty of parking available to the front, our owners have a caravan they park and there is still space for parking, and a garage. The entrance hall has stairs rising to the first floor, a storage cupboard and leads through to the main reception/dining room; a generous room with space for the whole family with the sitting area at one end and dining at the other. This room has double glazed windows overlooking the garden and a double-glazed door out to a patio area. Back off the hallway is the kitchen which has plenty of wall and base level units and drawers, an eye level integrated oven and grill, hob, extractor fan and dishwasher. A door from the kitchen leads through to an additional extension incorporating a second reception, a shower room and single bedroom or home office. This area would also be brilliant annex for an older relative or teenager as it has a double-glazed door out to the garden which provides a separate entrance.

On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, all generous sizes and three already having built-in wardrobes. There is a family bathroom also on this floor.

Outside
Outside the generous front garden sets the property back from the quiet road and has a variety of trees, shrubs and hedging. There is a driveway providing ample parking and a garage. The back garden has a large lawn area, a variety of trees, plants and hedging, and a shed. Currently there is a hedge down the middle of the garden which could either be removed to open up the garden, or would provide some private garden space if part of the property was used as an annex.

Location
Set in the hugely sought-after area of Ridge close to the yacht club, Arne Nature Reserve with its extensive open heathland & old oak woodland, amazing wildlife walks virtually on the doorstep. Located approx. 1 1/4 miles from the riverside market town of Wareham, the 'gateway' to the Isle of Purbeck Isle with. Wareham has a charming selection of independent shops, eateries, a weekly market and supermarkets plus a mainline railway London/Waterloo (2 hours). Further afield is Corfe Castle with its historic ruins, the seaside resort of Swanage is famed for its sandy beaches, shopping, cafés and bars and the famous beaches at Studland.

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
