Athelstan Road, Dorchester, Dorset

Welcome to Fordington Dairy: once an old dairy, it is now a private, gated development set around a central quadrangle, each original property carefully reflecting its origins together with some newly built homes sensitively designed in 'period' style. With a strong sense of community, this engaging development feels akin to 'town meets country' and makes for an appealing way of living.

Forming part of a terrace of cottages, this carefully considered Grade 2 listed conversion works well for practical living. A long HALLWAY has an understairs storage space and a useful GROUND FLOOR SHOWER ROOM with good size shower cubicle, wash-hand basin and W.C. A separate STUDY is another advantage. The roomy SITTING ROOM has plentiful space for soft furnishings and is particularly light and bright. French doors lead to the sunny patio and raised garden area to the rear. Adjacent is the KITCHEN/DINING ROOM approached via double doors from the sitting room or independently from the hallway. The kitchen design makes a practical working area and there are a number of base and wall cabinets, together with space for a dishwasher/washing machine; appliances include a 4 burner gas hob and integral electric oven. The gas fired boiler is also located here. The dining area will easily accommodate a large table and the layout of the ground floor makes for easy entertaining.

Upstairs on the FIRST FLOOR are FOUR BEDROOMS – the principal bedroom being particularly generous. There are fitted cupboards to one of the bedrooms. The modern contemporary BATHROOM has a ‘P ’shaped bath with shower screen and a mixer tap/shower attachment, together with W.C and wash-hand basin.

Outside
A gated entrance leads into the development and there is a central courtyard area for parking.

One PRIVATE PARKING SPACE and one CAR PORT lies opposite the cottage for the use of this property only. A pretty garden lies to the front of the cottage and there is also a patio to the rear with raised planting area - a sunny spot being predominantly westerly-facing.
