The tranquil rivers Frome and Piddle meet in Dorset’s historic town of Wareham, and this stone-built holiday cottage offers a wonderful base from which to explore the area, less than 1 mile from the town. This family-friendly property is overflowing with traditional appeal, just a short walk from the town centre, where you'll find a range of eateries, a selection of unique independent shops and scenic riverside walking routes. A little further afield, explore Swineham Open Water Swimming (1.5 miles), a fabulous destination for safe wild swimming in natural freshwater lakes. More opportunities for swimming await on Dorset’s pristine beaches, all within 10 miles. Head to Knoll Beach (9.5 miles), a vast golden stretch of sand backed by nature-filled heathland. Gaze out over the rugged rock formation of Old Harry Rocks (9 miles), the starting point of the Jurassic Coast, where an incredible, easy-to-follow walking route winds through the Dorset coast.
This delightful holiday abode has been lovingly maintained, with plenty of traditional features left intact, including steep cottage stairs, original fireplaces and stable-style doorways throughout. Step into the red-brick property and feel instantly at home, making a beeline for the kitchen to rustle up tasty dishes to enjoy at home or take out on your adventures. Just off this space, a handy utility room adds convenience, while a downstairs shower room is perfect for freshening up after long walks. Two separate spaces to unwind – a dining room and a lounge – are both equipped with wood burners and Smart TVs, making them perfect for cosy evenings spent enjoying board games or streaming your favourite shows. After an evening of entertainment, head upstairs to find three inviting bedrooms. The largest is a versatile room featuring a super-king-size zip-and-link bed that can be made up as a twin on request. The second bedroom offers a king-size bed, while the third is a cosy single room. Completing this floor is a family bathroom, where you'll find the bath has restricted head height above it, adding to the property's unique character.
Engulfed by greenery, the enclosed garden at the rear of the property offers a private space to unwind. Shrubs and trees provide welcome shade, even in the sunniest months, while outdoor furniture and a BBQ invite you to make the most of long summer afternoons. Private parking for one car is available on the driveway at the rear of the property.
