Detached four-bedroom home in sought-after Manor Park, offering excellent scope for extending and modernisation. Good size rear garden, driveway and garage.

The Property - This detached house has been owned by the vendor since new, dating from circa 1960, and has been extended to create a four bedroom home. The house is well maintained and in good order, although it would now benefit from a programme of modernisation throughout.

The house is situated in one of Dorchester’s most favoured residential locations, within the sought-after Manor Park area.

On the ground floor, an entrance porch opens into a welcoming entrance hall. The sitting room is a good-sized reception space and has double doors leading through to the dining room, which in turn has a door opening out to the rear garden. The kitchen is accessed from the dining room and entrance hall and is fitted with a range of floor and wall-mounted units. Beyond the kitchen is a utility room, providing access to the single garage, along with a separate WC.

To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, all benefiting from fitted storage, together with a family bathroom. The principal bedroom incorporates an office area, which offers potential to be converted into an en suite.

Outside - To the front of the property is a driveway providing ample off-road parking and leading to the single garage. The rear garden is of a good size and is laid mainly to lawn with established flower and shrub borders, while a patio area directly abuts the rear of the house, ideal for outdoor seating and entertaining.

Situation - Manor Park is one of Dorchester’s most sought-after locations, approximately half a mile from the town centre. Dorchester offers a wide range of shopping, dining, and leisure facilities, including the popular Brewery Square development with its restaurants, cafés, cinema, and shops.

The property is well placed for reputable schools, Dorset County Hospital, and excellent transport links, with Dorchester South and Dorchester West stations providing mainline services to London and Bristol. The area also benefits from a variety of sports and recreational facilities, access to open countryside, and proximity to the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Material Information - Note vendor's comments: There is a fire place in the lounge which is not used at the moment but was originally used for a solid fuel burner and latterly a living flame gas fire. As far as we know the chimney is still serviceable so could be suitable for a wood burner etc.
