WELCOME...
...to The Fordington at The Spire, Charminster Farm, an impressive three-bedroom DETACHED home offering approximately 1,462 sq. ft (136 sq. m) of beautifully arranged accommodation. The Fordington combines contemporary styling, practical living spaces and energy efficient features, set on the edge of the sought after village of Charminster, within easy reach of Dorchester.

A welcoming ENTRANCE HALL creates an immediate sense of space and provides access to the principal ground floor accommodation.
The spacious dual aspect LIVING ROOM enjoys an abundance of natural light and provides an inviting setting for entertaining and everyday living whilst a separate STUDY provides an ideal space for home working, study, or hobbies.

The impressive OPEN PLAN KITCHEN/DINING ROOM has been designed with both practicality and style in mind. The kitchen incorporates an individually designed range of wall and floor mounted units complemented by quartz worktops and an under mounted stainless-steel sink with chrome mixer tap. Integrated appliances include an oven, hob and extractor, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. A stylish breakfast bar provides the perfect space for informal dining and morning coffee. The dining area offers ample room for a sizeable dining table and chairs and French doors open directly onto the rear garden.

On a practical note, the separate UTILITY ROOM provides additional storage options and is fitted with matching cabinetry, laminated worktops and a stainless-steel sink with chrome mixer tap. A CLOAKROOM completes the ground floor accommodation.

Amtico™ flooring is fitted throughout the kitchen, dining area, utility room and cloakroom, whilst purchasers reserving early in the construction process may have the opportunity to personalise selected kitchen and tiling finishes, subject to build stage.

Stairs rise to the first floor where a central LANDING provides access to all bedrooms and the family bathroom. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM benefits from a dedicated DRESSING ROOM and stylish ENSUITE SHOWER ROOM, creating a comfortable private retreat.

BEDROOM TWO and BEDROOM THREE are well proportioned rooms offering flexibility for family members, guests, or to those working from home.

The contemporary FAMILY BATHROOM and ensuite are fitted with quality white sanitaryware, chrome fittings and Porcelanosa™ wall tiling. Thermostatic shower controls and chrome heated towel rails provide comfort and practicality.

Throughout the home, careful attention is given to the quality of finish. Features include smooth ceilings, polished chrome door furniture, ceramic tiling to wet areas and staircases finished with oak handrails and white painted spindles. Chrome sockets and downlighters are fitted to the ground floor, whilst low energy pendant lighting serves the bedrooms. Heating is provided via an efficient boiler system with Stelrad radiators and a programmable thermostat, whilst solar PV panels contribute towards improved energy efficiency and reduced running costs.

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

Our Services

Our sales team is complemented by a dedicated lettings and property management team, providing a fully managed service designed to protect property investments and minimise day-to-day involvement. Our holiday lettings team also supports owners seeking an alternative income stream.
