Why Move to Wareham?
If it is a home which offers a riverside location with easy access to open countryside and full of the charm and character you expect from a small village, you should look at Wareham.
The town may not have the great connections some of its Dorset contemporaries, but it does make it a little more budget friendly with regards to property prices than nearby Purpeck, Poole and Bournemouth.
Wareham provides its roughly 6000 inhabitants with a laid-back lifestyle together with quick access to coast and to Dorset’s green romantic landscape along with a wonderfully picturesque walled town centre.
Sitting in a strategic position, near to various rivers in the area and the closeness to the natural harbour at Poole has attracted humanity through the ages, from as far back as the Mesolithic era (9000 BC).
Just a stroll along the main high street reveals some stunning architectural buildings some of which are hundreds of years old. This ancient town and former royal borough still boast massive earth ramparts built by Alfred the Great.
Full of its historical past, Wareham has evolved into a thriving market town, happily combining the old and the new for locals and visitors alike.
Wareham has a diverse selection of shops and galleries, catering for every taste. There are also plenty of cafés, bars, and restaurants. Just outside of the town centre, the local shopping parade in Carey Road meets the day-to-day needs of residents.
Not only is Wareham the idyllic spot to put down roots, but it also has access to some excellent tourist attractions well within reach so finding ways to fulfil everyone’s entertainment needs is no problem at all.
