A fine period home in the heart of Dorchester, blending traditional features with modern living. Offering spacious rooms, four double bedrooms, a private garden and close proximity to local amenities.

THE PROPERTY
A handsome semi-detached house enjoying a convenient position in the town, within walking distance of the Borough Gardens, train station and high street.

ACCOMMODATION
This attractive period house has been significantly improved and updated by the current owner. It blends traditional features, such as ornate cornices, picture rails and fireplaces, with a more contemporary feel, highlighted by a stylish kitchen, modern sanitary ware and pops of colour throughout the home.

Very well presented and featuring tall ceilings with a light and bright interior, the accommodation comprises an entrance hall with wooden flooring extending into the sitting room. This is a nice-sized room with a bay window, casement sash windows, cornice picture rail and ceiling rose, along with a chimney breast, fireplace and hearth. There is a separate dining room (currently used as a home office) with exposed wooden floors and a chimney breast with a fireplace. The spacious kitchen/dining room is fitted with a range of cupboards and drawers, work surfaces with a Belfast sink, space for a range-style oven, an integrated dishwasher and a breakfast bar. Laminate-style flooring extends into a conservatory with a glass roof and doors leading into the garden.

Upstairs, on the first floor, the master bedroom at the front of the house spans the full width, offering a spacious room with wooden floors and ample space for bedroom furniture. Bedroom 2 is a double bedroom, and there is a particularly attractive bathroom with a contemporary white suite, including a freestanding bath, a walk-in shower with a fixed screen and a vanity basin. A separate cloakroom with a matching WC is located just next door.

On the top floor, there are two further double bedrooms and a separate shower room.

The property also benefits from a large utility room with additional fitted cupboards, space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, space for an American-style fridge freezer and a ground-floor shower room with a WC.

OUTSIDE
The front garden is well-maintained, featuring flower borders and a pathway leading to the front door, along with a side gate providing access to the rear.

At the rear of the house, there is a private, south-facing walled garden with a patio adjoining the property, complete with an outside tap. The garden includes a lawned area with flower borders and a few small, established trees. A useful garden shed/store is discreetly positioned at the end of the garden.

SITUATION
The county town offers a wide range of shops, restaurants and leisure facilities, including the vibrant Brewery Square development featuring a variety of shops, restaurants, and a cinema. The Dorset County Hospital is nearby as are a number of highly regarded schools.
