This late 18th century, Grade II listed, three-storey, terraced town house sits at the top end of North Street, within the walls of Wareham and very close to the historic Saxon church of St Martin, which holds the sarcophagus of Lawrence of Arabia.

There is lots of history to uncover in the characterful rooms of this town house, and this is a rare opportunity for your home business and home life to be brought together. A charming property that has scope for an income opportunity with a home, or subject to planning permissions, simply a generous homestead.

The front of the property is approached from North Street and opens into a generous and light space, currently used as a GALLERY and living space, with a large window letting in lots of light. This main room on the ground floor, is classified as a commercial retail space.

A door to the side leads to an INNER HALLWAY, stairs and ground floor BATHROOM. From the reception room a further door opens onto a KITCHENETTE and VESTIBULE with a separate WC, a door to a UTIITY ROOM and access to the rear garden and another access for the bathroom. The BATHROOM is a good size with bathtub, basin and WC. The KITCHENETTE has a sink area and the UTILITY ROOM has storage space as well as plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

From the inner hallway stairs take you up to the FIRST FLOOR with a generous kitchen and two further reception rooms. The KITCHEN is a really lovely light space with a Juliette balcony overlooking a wonderfully tranquil garden. There is much scope in this versatile property to make the rooms as flexible as you would like. Presently on this level the rooms are set as a DINING ROOM formally set as a BEDROOM, overlooking the wonderful rear garden and a large SITTING ROOM which overlooks the town. A further staircase takes you up the the SECOND FLOOR and TWO large DOUBLE BEDROOMS. A skylight in the loft space allows additional light on this level.

Outside
Accessed off Mill Lane, there is PARKING for more than one car. There is also a good sized SHED for storage. Through a timber gate and you enter into the most suprising and tranquil garden. Designed for serenity and with a path that weaves under mature trees, past decorative shrubs, a 'zen' fish pond to the rear of the property. There are many areas to sit, contemplate, catch the sun or hide in the shade. This really is a most remarkable space.
