Ask AgentAn increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period home set within impressive grounds in the heart of the Isle of Purbeck. Requiring comprehensive renovation, Furzebrook Road offers enormous potential to create a truly exceptional family home in a particularly special Dorset setting. Believed to date from the Victorian era, with later additions, the property has remained within the same family ownership since the 1930s. The house is now ready for its next chapter and offers an exciting blank canvas for a purchaser wishing to restore, remodel and enhance a home of considerable scale and character. The existing accommodation extends to approximately 2,540 sq ft, excluding the garages, and is arranged over two floors. Generous proportions and high ceilings are a feature of the house, providing an excellent foundation from which to undertake a sympathetic yet comprehensive renovation. The ground floor offers a particularly versatile arrangement of reception and living accommodation. At its heart is an impressive principal living room measuring approximately 25'2" x 19'8", complemented by a further living room, separate dining room and kitchen accommodation. The existing layout provides considerable scope to be reconfigured to suit modern family living while retaining the proportions and character that make the house so appealing. The first floor continues the sense of space, providing five bedrooms and two bathrooms, including several particularly generous double bedrooms. THE GROUNDS A defining feature of the property is undoubtedly the extent of its grounds. The house itself occupies a generous plot, with the sale also benefiting from an additional substantial area of land to the west of the property, providing a particularly impressive amount of outside space overall. The property and land are understood to be held across two separate Land Registry titles, both of which are included within the sale. Together, they provide extensive grounds and contribute significantly to the sense of space and potential offered by the property. The grounds provide considerable scope for a new owner to landscape and enhance the setting to complement the house. Combined with the scale of the existing accommodation, they form an important part of what makes this such an unusual and exciting opportunity. A separate block of four garages provides substantial additional space and adds another valuable dimension to the property. Any alteration, extension, change of use or development would be subject to obtaining all necessary planning permissions and other relevant consents. SITUATION The property occupies an enviable position on Furzebrook Road, in the heart of the Isle of Purbeck, an area renowned for its beautiful countryside, heathland and dramatic Dorset coastline. Of particular note is the property's proximity to the renowned Blue Pool Nature Reserve, also situated on Furzebrook Road and surrounded by attractive woodland and heathland. Despite the property's wonderfully rural surroundings, it remains conveniently positioned for Wareham, with its range of everyday amenities and transport connections. The historic village of Corfe Castle is also readily accessible, while the wider Isle of Purbeck offers an outstanding choice of countryside, walking, beaches and coastline. The location therefore offers an appealing balance: the space and atmosphere of a rural Purbeck setting while remaining within convenient reach of Wareham, Corfe Castle, Swanage and the wider Dorset area. SERVICES & ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The property benefits from mains electricity and water, together with an existing oil-fired heating system. Purchasers should be aware that the existing private drainage arrangement is understood to require upgrading/replacement, with a new treatment plant anticipated to be required. Interested parties should make their own enquiries regarding this and any proposed alterations to the property. The property and additional land are understood to be held under two separate Land Registry titles, both included within the sale. Prospective purchasers and their legal representatives should verify the precise boundaries, title information and extent of the land as part of their conveyancing enquiries.
