Description

Welcome to this perfectly positioned two bedroom apartment, situated near the very pretty centre of Fordington with its village green overlooked by the ancient church of St George; this is a light and airy ground floor apartment and is part of a stunning conversion of a former Victorian farmhouse. The property offers abundant charm and character, with a definite feeling of grandeur. The property also offers engaging views of the private garden and beyond over the rooftops towards open countryside.

The accommodation is entered via a LOBBY into a very generous SITTING ROOM which has considerable light from the sash pane window, which still has the original shutters, and a cosy gas fire within a marble surround. From the sitting room a door opens to the rear porch, giving access to the garden.

The KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM has a full range of base and wall units with an Electrolux ™ double oven/grill, an electric hob, space and plumbing for a washing machine, dish-washer and an under counter fridge. It is again a lovely bright room with deep sash pane window. From the front aspect, one can enjoy the view across the courtyard towards the church tower.

The TWO DOUBLE BEDROOMS have room for additional furniture and are also equally light rooms. The master bedroom is an especially light and expansive room with a large original window with shutters which shares the same delightful outlook as the sitting room.

The BATHROOM has a panelled bath, separate shower cubicle and pedestal wash-hand basin.

The property benefits further from a large CELLAR (adding circa 42 sq. m / 451 sq. ft of storage space), which has a vaulted entrance complete with original flagstone flooring. This leads to a large room, giving additional storage options, with generous head height and window and also with the potential to convert to further accommodation subject to necessary planning consents and building regulations.

Outside
To the rear of the property lies the garden, providing a secluded and restful spot to enjoy in the warmer months. A set of stairs located here, give access to the cellar.

To the front of the property, is a good sized level patio area, large enough for a table and chairs and perfect for enjoying a morning coffee.

Also belonging to the apartment, is a single garage and car parking space, a rare advantage in the area.

Location
The ever popular location of Fordington offers a touch of 'quintessential England' and is perhaps Dorchester's best kept secret! Fordington offers the perfect combination of village living with the open green space of Salisbury Fields and is combined with the practicality of being close to the numerous facilities of Dorchester town. The vibrant county town of Dorchester, whilst steeped in history, enjoys some of the county's most noted period architecture, all set amongst beautiful rural countryside with easy access to the coast at Weymouth. The A35 which is easily accessible, provides a short commute by road to Bournemouth and Poole and provides the opportunity to further explore the Dorset area. Amenities are plentiful including: two cinemas, an arts centre, a range of markets, festivals and associations representing every interest and benefits from direct rail access to London Waterloo and Bristol.
