Description

Nestled in the highly sought after West Walks area of Dorchester, this charming Grade II listed detached house offers a unique opportunity for those seeking a property with character, potential, and an enviable location. Directly opposite the picturesque Borough Gardens, this home enjoys a prime position, providing a tranquil outlook and easy access to one of Dorchester's most beloved green spaces.


Upon entering, you are greeted by a property that, while requiring updating, holds immense promise. The ground floor features an inviting open plan living dining room, a versatile space perfect for both relaxation and entertaining. The dual aspect ensures a bright and airy feel, with views towards the southerly aspect garden. A separate kitchen, awaiting modernisation, provides a functional space with direct access to the garden, offering scope for creating a contemporary culinary hub.


The property benefits from two well proportioned reception rooms, providing flexibility for various uses, whether as a formal dining room, a cosy snug, or a dedicated home office. The layout is conducive to comfortable living, with a natural flow between the principal areas.


Ascending to the first floor, you will find two generous double bedrooms, each offering ample space and natural light. The master bedroom, in particular, enjoys pleasant views. A single family bathroom serves both bedrooms, and while functional, it presents an ideal canvas for a stylish refurbishment to meet modern standards.


One of the standout features of this property is its southerly aspect garden. This private outdoor space is perfect for enjoying the sunshine, gardening, or al fresco dining. The garden offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling town, providing a wonderful extension to the living accommodation. Furthermore, the property benefits from the rare advantage of a garage and additional off road parking, a significant asset in this central Dorchester location.


Adding to its unique appeal, the house includes a basement or cellar, offering valuable storage space or potential for conversion, subject to the necessary planning and listed building consents. This additional area provides flexibility and could be transformed into a utility room, workshop, or even a small home gym.


As a Grade II listed property, this home retains many original features and its historical integrity, offering a chance to own a piece of Dorchester's heritage. While updating is required throughout, this presents a fantastic opportunity for a discerning buyer to personalise and enhance a truly special residence, adding significant value and creating a bespoke home tailored to their tastes.


The EPC rating for this property is E. Its location on West Walks ensures convenient access to Dorchester's vibrant town centre, with its array of independent shops, cafes, restaurants, and cultural attractions. Excellent transport links, including Dorchester South and Dorchester West train stations, provide easy connections to London Waterloo and Bristol Temple Meads, respectively. This character detached house is an exceptional offering for those seeking a project with immense potential in a prime Dorchester setting.
