Poundbury, Dorchester, Dorset

This detached home, set within Poundbury’s sought-after Phase 1 development, offers a wonderfully generous layout where thoughtful design meets an abundance of natural light. The well-proportioned rooms offer a sense of flow throughout, making it a home perfectly suited to modern family living.

Stepping through the front door, the ENTRANCE HALL immediately makes a welcoming impression. Stairs rise to the first floor, while a practical understairs cupboard provides everyday storage. From here, doors open into the main living spaces, with the CLOAKROOM discreetly positioned off the hall and fitted with a wash-hand basin and W.C.

The SITTING ROOM is particularly inviting, stretching the full depth of the house. Windows to the rear and side ensure the room is bathed in natural light, while a handsome fireplace with inset gas fire, forms a warm focal point, perfect for gathering around on cooler evenings. The French door leading out onto the south-facing terrace seamlessly combines indoor comfort with outdoor living.

The KITCHEN/DINING ROOM is designed with both style and practicality in mind. There is a comprehensive range of wall and base units, topped with granite work surfaces, which provide ample workspace. A full suite of integrated NEFF ™ appliances has been seamlessly fitted, which include an eye level combination microwave / conventional oven with a large single oven below. Additionally, there is a gas hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and washing machine and is complemented by a sleek Samsung™ extractor fan above the hob. A fitted dresser enhances the dining area, offering both display shelving and useful storage. There is ample room for a dining table and chairs making this the natural heart of the home. A side door gives easy access to the gated driveway and garage.

Upstairs, a central landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM with fitted recessed double wardrobe, enjoys a lovely outlook over the rear garden. Adjacent is the ENSUITE SHOWER ROOM, complete with separate shower cubicle, wash-hand basin and W.C.

The two further bedrooms are both comfortable doubles. BEDROOM TWO benefits from an outlook to the side, while BEDROOM THREE includes built-in storage set cleverly over the stairwell. A generous airing cupboard provides further practical storage on the landing.

The FAMILY BATHROOM is well appointed, featuring a pedestal wash-hand basin and W.C. plus a panelled bath, over which is a wall mounted shower with screen.

Neutral décor, generous proportions, and a layout that flows effortlessly from room to room ensure this home works beautifully for day-to-day family life, whilst also lending itself to entertaining with ease.

There is also a current planning application (Ref: P/HOU/2023/05313), granted on 02/11/2023, for the erection of a single-storey lean-to conservatory to the side of the kitchen/dining room, providing a useful utility space.

Outside
The rear garden is a particular feature of the property, having been lovingly and thoughtfully landscaped to create a tranquil retreat.

Immediately adjoining the sitting room is a paved terrace, perfectly positioned for outdoor furniture and ideal for enjoying a morning coffee or evening drink while overlooking the garden. Beyond, the space opens to an area laid to lawn, planted with saplings and bounded by an established border of richly planted mature shrubs and flowers which add seasonal colour and interest.

To the side of the house, double timber gates open to a tarmac driveway with space for several cars, leading to a tandem garage that provides further parking or valuable storage. Together, the enclosed garden, gated driveway, and garage combine practicality with charm, making the outside space as appealing as the home itself.
