Elm Lane, Dorchester, DT2

Extended Detached Home with Flexible Living, Garage & Gated Driveway

Positioned within the popular village setting of Charlton Down, this beautifully presented detached home offers a thoughtful blend of modern practicality and flexible living space, enhanced by a series of improvements carried out by the current owners.
Set within a quiet no-through road, the property benefits from a gated driveway, separate garage and a low-maintenance rear garden, all while enjoying easy access to Dorchester and the surrounding Dorset countryside.

Ground Floor – Flexible & Adaptable Living
The property opens into a welcoming entrance hall with useful understairs storage and a warm, inviting feel throughout.

One of the key improvements made by the current owners is the reconfiguration of the ground floor layout, creating a far more sociable and versatile living environment.
The kitchen has now evolved into a true kitchen/dining room, offering improved flow and usability for everyday life. Fitted with a range of storage units and workspace, the room comfortably accommodates dining furniture and forms the natural hub of the home.

From here, the layout flows seamlessly into the rear sitting room, a bright and comfortable reception space enjoying direct access to the garden.

To the front of the property, an additional reception room now provides exceptional flexibility and could be used as:

A formal sitting room
Home office
Ground floor bedroom
Guest suite or hobby room

This room also benefits from a small kitchenette area, opening up potential for independent living arrangements or multi-generational use.

First Floor – Comfortable Bedroom Accommodation
Upstairs, the property offers three bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a private en-suite shower room.

The remaining bedrooms are well-balanced and served by a modern family bathroom.

Outside – Easy Maintenance & Practicality
Externally, the rear garden has been designed with ease of maintenance in mind, predominantly laid to paving and offering a private, usable outdoor space.
The property also benefits from a garage and gated driveway parking, adding practicality and security.
