The Property
A semi-detached property of traditional painted brick construction beneath a tiled roof, occupying a prime position in Dorchester within easy walking distance of local schools and shops. While the property requires full modernisation, it offers excellent potential to be transformed into a delightful family home.
Accommodation
The property features two separate rear reception rooms, thoughtfully connected by an interlinking sliding door, each enjoying views of the rear garden through large windows. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room is well-equipped with ample storage, a wall-mounted gas central heating boiler, and space with plumbing for a washing machine and fridge/freezer. A convenient sliding door opens into the dual-aspect dining room, which leads to a side porch housing a WC and a useful storeroom.
Upstairs, the first floor offers three generously sized double bedrooms, a family bathroom, an airing cupboard, and an additional storage cupboard.
Outside
To the front of the property is a small garden, offering potential for off-street parking—subject to the necessary permissions—as seen with neighbouring properties.
A wide side access leads to the rear garden, which, although currently overgrown, is generously sized for Dorchester and bordered by mature trees and shrubs.
Situation
Dorchester town centre, approximately 1/2 mile away, 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.
