Spacious & Versatile Four-Bedroom Home in the Sought-After Manor Park, Dorchester

Located in the ever-popular Manor Park area of Dorchester, this beautifully presented and thoughtfully extended four-bedroom semi-detached home offers flexible living across three floors, with a generous and versatile layout ideal for families, home-workers, and entertaining alike.

Set back from the road, the property benefits from a private driveway and a single garage with light and power. Entry is through an extended sun room, providing a bright and welcoming space with direct access to a pretty courtyard-style garden.

The kitchen/breakfast room is well-equipped with a generous range of wall and base units, solid ash wood doors, a five-ring gas range cooker with extractor hood, space for a freestanding fridge/freezer, and plumbing and space for a dishwasher. This room, like much of the ground floor, benefits from underfloor heating.

A hallway leads to the extended utility area, offering further storage, plumbing and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and a convenient walk-in shower—again with underfloor heating. The hallway continues to provide access to both the garage and the rear garden.

The heart of the home is the extended sitting room, featuring a multi-fuel burner with lime render surround and a live edge ash mantel, creating a warm and inviting focal point. Sliding doors open out to the garden, and the room flows seamlessly into a spacious family area and dining space—ideal for relaxing or entertaining. All three reception rooms benefit from individually controlled underfloor heating, providing year-round comfort and efficiency.

On the first floor are two double bedrooms and a well-proportioned single bedroom, currently used as a home office—all with fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom includes a feature freestanding bathtub, adding a touch of luxury.

A further staircase leads to the top floor, home to the spacious master bedroom with built-in storage, Velux windows, and far-reaching views across Dorchester.

The property has also been hardwired with an alarm system, as well as smoke and carbon monoxide alarms throughout, offering added peace of mind.

The rear garden has been extended with an additional piece of land, now featuring a decking area, large shed, and further landscaped space. The garden is designed for easy maintenance, with a combination of paving, artificial lawn, and established flower and shrub borders, creating a private and tranquil setting.

This much-loved home has been extended and maintained to a high standard and is now offered for sale with a suited vendor, ready to move.
