Bridport Road Dorchester, DT1

An elegant early 1900s detached home with character features, four double bedrooms and beautifully landscaped gardens with parking.

THE PROPERTY
This impressive detached family home, dating back to the early 1900s, retains a wealth of original features while offering well-balanced and versatile accommodation throughout. The property comprises two generous reception rooms, a modern kitchen with separate utility room, a study, four double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and en-suite bathroom.

The property is entered via a spacious and welcoming hallway, featuring tiled flooring and a characterful staircase.

The dual-aspect sitting room is a bright and inviting space, complete with stripped wooden flooring, a central fireplace with surround and mantle, and French doors opening onto the garden.

The dining room continues the theme of character with stripped wooden flooring and benefits from French doors providing further garden access. The room also features a gas fireplace with shelving to either side, along with two side-aspect windows allowing for plenty of natural light.

To the rear of the property is an additional versatile room, currently used as a study, ideal for home working or as a playroom.

The modern kitchen is fitted with a bespoke range of wall and base units with Quartz work surfaces over. Integrated appliances include a five-ring induction hob, two Miele single ovens, a combination microwave, twin sinks with mixer taps, and a dishwasher. The space is tastefully finished with wood-effect flooring and inset lighting. A separate utility room provides further work surface space, storage, plumbing for appliances, and includes a WC and wash hand basin.

To the first floor, there are four well-proportioned double bedrooms, all benefiting from fitted shutters. The principal bedroom is complemented by an en-suite bathroom. A newly fitted modern family bathroom completes the accommodation.

OUTSIDE
The house enjoys beautifully maintained, wraparound lawned garden, thoughtfully landscaped to provide both visual appeal and practical outdoor living. A generous paved terrace adjoins the property, offering an ideal space for alfresco dining, with ample room for seating and outdoor furniture. The garden is well stocked with a variety of mature shrubs, trees, and planted borders, creating a sense of privacy and seasonal colour. A pergola-covered seating area provides a further attractive focal point. To the front/side, there is off-road parking for approximately four vehicles.

SITUATION
The county town offers a wide range of shops, restaurants, and leisure facilities, including the popular Brewery Square development, which provides a variety of retail outlets, dining options, and a cinema. Well-known supermarkets such as Waitrose, Tesco, and Sainsbury’s are all easily accessible, while Dorset County Hospital is nearby, along with a number of highly regarded schools.

Dorchester is exceptionally well connected, with both Dorchester South and Dorchester West stations offering mainline rail services to London Waterloo and Bristol Temple Meads respectively, making it ideal for commuters.
