Description

Welcome to 18 Lancaster Road, an attractive family home, approached via a paved pathway leading from the driveway to the front door, which sits beneath a charming canopy porch.

Stepping inside, the welcoming ENTRANCE HALL immediately sets the tone for the rest of the home.

The SITTING ROOM is a bright, dual-aspect room, centred around an inset gas fire, with stone hearth and wood surround, perfect for cosy evenings in the cooler months. Large windows flood the room with natural light, creating a calm and inviting space.

The DINING ROOM is equally well-proportioned and easily accommodates a family table and chairs. From here, sliding patio doors open into the CONSERVATORY, enhancing the natural flow between indoor and outdoor living. The conservatory itself is a wonderful, versatile room with views overlooking the garden.

The KITCHEN is fitted with a range of wall and floor-mounted units complemented by work surfaces over. The stainless-steel one-and-a-half sink is positioned beneath a window, offering pleasant views across the garden. Integrated appliances include an eye-level electric Hotpoint™ double oven, gas hob with extractor over, with space for a fridge/freezer and plumbing for a dishwasher. A door leads to the adjoining UTILITY ROOM, providing additional storage, a sink, with space and plumbing for a washing machine. On a practical note, a door gives access to the side of the property which has a gated paved pathway leading from the driveway.

A STUDY positioned at the front of the property easily accommodates a desk and further furniture and creates an ideal space for those working from home. Discreetly positioned off the hallway is a CLOAKROOM fitted with a wash-hand basin and W.C.

Venturing up the stairs, the landing leads to four comfortable bedrooms and a family bathroom. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM enjoys a pleasant outlook over the rear garden and benefits from free standing wardrobes providing ample storage. Adjacent, an EN-SUITE SHOWER ROOM includes a corner shower cubicle, pedestal basin with wall-mounted cabinet above, and W.C.

BEDROOM TWO is another spacious double with views over the rear garden, while BEDROOM THREE has fitted wardrobes. BEDROOM FOUR is currently arranged as a guest room but could equally serve as an additional study or hobbies room.

Completing the accommodation, the family BATHROOM comprises a panelled bath with screen and a shower over, wash-hand basin, and W.C.

Outside
The property enjoys an attractive frontage with a neatly kept lawn and mature hedging that creates a welcoming approach. A driveway leads to the double garage, providing convenient off-road parking and useful storage. To the rear, the garden is mainly laid to lawn and framed by well-established shrubs and trees, offering a pleasant sense of space and greenery. Several seating areas have been thoughtfully positioned to make the most of the sun and outlook, providing inviting spots for relaxation or entertaining. A paved pathway with gated access runs between the house and the double garage, allowing practical access to the rear garden. Designed for ease of maintenance, the outside space complements the property perfectly and provides a charming setting to enjoy the outdoors throughout the seasons.

Location
Perfectly situated for convenient access into the town centre, 18 Lancaster Road enjoys all the benefits of Dorchester’s vibrant yet historic setting.

Dorchester is well-served with boutique shops, cafés, restaurants, a cinema, arts centre, and museums, as well as excellent schools and a mainline railway to London Waterloo.

The DOMVS Approach to Selling Property

We always start with a clear strategy. We take time to understand your home, the local market and buyer behaviour, ensuring pricing and positioning are right from the outset. Every step in the process is meticulously considered, from presentation and marketing through to negotiation and completion.

We get that no two homes are the same, and neither is the way they should be launched. We tailor the approach to suit the property, whether that is a full market launch, an ‘offers over’ strategy or a discreet introduction through our Whisper List. Our role is to generate the right level of interest and convert that into a successful sale.

Once a sale is agreed, our dedicated sales progression team works proactively with all parties to resolve issues early and maintain momentum. This combination of preparation, negotiation and progression is what protects your sale and delivers results.

Our approach is shaped by three core values: integrity, empathy and determination. We give clear, honest advice, understand the personal nature of moving, and remain focused on securing the strongest outcome for our clients.

Our Marketing

Every property benefits from professional photography, carefully written descriptions and, where appropriate, enhanced visuals such as drone footage or virtual staging. This is supported by our in-house marketing team, who deliver targeted campaigns designed to reach an engaged and relevant audience. Our sellers benefit from:

• A fully optimised website attracting an average of 20,500 visitors each month

• Targeted email and digital campaigns to a database of over 20,000 engaged subscribers

• Social media activity generating over 60,000 monthly views and thousands of website visits

• SEO-led campaigns and tailored landing pages designed to connect specific buyers with specific properties

• Access to national and local press opportunities

Our Network
