Dorchester, Dorset

Set on one of Dorchester’s most prestigious and leafy residential roads, this is a truly handsome home of remarkable quality and design. From the moment you step into the RECEPTION HALL the extraordinary attention to detail is evident: bespoke walnut internal doors, parquet flooring underfoot, and stylishly integrated storage solutions. Double doors open to the SITTING ROOM, where the parquet flooring continues, complemented by a living flame electric fire set within a natural stone surround. Bespoke cabinetry flanks the fireplace, while additional fitted cabinets provide ample space for a large-scale TV, media equipment, and display items. French doors lead out to the terrace, and a shallow bay window bathes the room in natural light.

The DINING ROOM echoes this elegance, with a deep bay window, original cornicing, a second living flame electric fire in a stone surround, and parquet flooring. Double doors from the Reception Hall open to the KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM— and a masterpiece of craftsmanship. It is superbly equipped with a range of bespoke cabinets providing plentiful cupboard and drawer space. A quartz-topped island incorporates a lower-level dining area with seating for four. Within the island are integral drawers, wine rack, and a Neff™ induction hob (with integral downdraft extractor system) installed under a fitted chopping board. The kitchen features two Quooker™ taps (serving a one-and-a-half-bowl sink), two Samsung dual cook ovens, an integrated AEG™ dishwasher, a pull-out double bin and a freestanding American-style stainless steel fridge/freezer with ice and water dispenser.

At one end, a dedicated study area with fitted desk, drawers, shelving, and cupboards offers the perfect spot for home working or relaxation, adjacent to French doors opening to the terrace. Pocket doors lead to the UTILITY ROOM, where the same quartz worktops and cabinetry continue. Included is a Villeroy & Boch™ Belfast sink, integrated fridge/freezer, space for a slot-in washing machine and tumble dryer, a tall cupboard for household essentials, and even a pull-out barrier for containing a dog! A part-glazed door leads to the rear terrace and garden.

From the kitchen, double doors open to the GARDEN ROOM, a light-filled space with parquet flooring and French doors at either end, leading to two separate terraces overlooking the garden. Off the rear hall is secondary access to the utility room, a STUDY with garden doors, and a cloakroom fitted with parquet-style tiled flooring, inset basin within sleek cabinetry, a close-coupled W.C., and a stylish heated towel rail. There is also internal access to the garage.

On the FIRST FLOOR, four double bedrooms await, each with a luxurious ensuite. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM SUITE is particularly impressive, with a shallow bay window incorporating built-in seating, a bespoke bedhead with integrated bedside units, a built-in TV cabinet with shelving and mirrored cupboard, and a beautifully fitted DRESSING ROOM with wall-to-wall mirrored wardrobes, drawers, and matching vanity unit. Its ENSUITE SHOWER ROOM provides a walk-in shower with rain and wand shower head, stone tiling, a close-coupled W.C., a vanity unit with double drawers, and a mirror with touch-screen lighting.

BEDROOM TWO enjoys a bright double aspect over the garden and includes built-in wardrobes and an ENSUITE BATHROOM with a vanity unit, inset basin, touch-screen mirror, bath with screen, and both rain and wand shower heads.

BEDROOM THREE has a shallow bay window, part-mirrored built-in wardrobes, drawers, and matching bedside tables, with an ENSUITE SHOWER ROOM with a shower cubicle, vanity basin, close-coupled W.C., and touch-screen mirror. BEDROOM FOUR is accessed via a walk-through DRESSING AREA with wardrobes and a built-in study desk with display shelving and cupboards. French doors open to a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden, while the ENSUITE BATHROOM features a walk-in shower, rain and wand shower head, and a sleek vanity unit with inset basin.

Outside
Approached through handsome double wrought iron gates set within a solid boundary wall, the exterior is as thoughtfully considered as its interior. A generous gravelled driveway offers ample parking, an EV charging point and leads to the integral DOUBLE GARAGE, complete with electric double door, power, and lighting. The Worcester boiler is also located in the garage.

The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by mature flowering shrubs for year-round interest. Two beautifully designed terraces provide ideal spaces for outside dining, entertaining, or quiet relaxation. Discreet external lighting enhances the steps and seating areas, while an external power source and water tap offer additional convenience. From the concealed lighting at the entrance to the careful landscaping of the grounds, every aspect of the outdoor space has been planned to create an elegant and functional setting, perfectly complementing the outstanding craftsmanship of the home itself.

Location
Located in one of the premier roads within Dorchester with older style properties rarely available. This tree-lined avenue on the outskirts of the town is within the popular catchment area for local schooling and is also within reasonable walking distance of the town centre, yet close to open countryside. A winning combination!
Dorchester itself is steeped in history, and enjoys some of the county’s most noted period architecture, all set amongst beautiful rural countryside. Amenities are plentiful and include mainline rail link to London Waterloo, cinema, arts centre, restaurants, wine bars, and the county hospital.
