A fine period home in the heart of Dorchester, blending traditional features with modern living. Offering spacious rooms, four double bedrooms, a private garden and close proximity to local amenities.

The Property - A handsome semi-detached house enjoying a convenient position in the town, within walking distance of the Borough Gardens, train station and high street.

Accommodation - This attractive period house has been significantly improved and updated by the current owner. It blends traditional features, such as ornate cornices, picture rails and fireplaces, with a more contemporary feel, highlighted by a stylish kitchen, modern sanitary ware and pops of colour throughout the home.

Very well presented and featuring tall ceilings with a light and bright interior, the accommodation comprises an entrance hall with wooden flooring extending into the sitting room. This is a nice-sized room with a bay window, casement sash windows, cornice picture rail and ceiling rose, along with a chimney breast, fireplace and hearth. There is a separate dining room (currently used as a home office) with exposed wooden floors and a chimney breast with a fireplace. The spacious kitchen/dining room is fitted with a range of cupboards and drawers, work surfaces with a Belfast sink, space for a range-style oven, an integrated dishwasher and a breakfast bar. Laminate-style flooring extends into a conservatory with a glass roof and doors leading into the garden.

Upstairs, on the first floor, the master bedroom at the front of the house spans the full width, offering a spacious room with wooden floors and ample space for bedroom furniture. Bedroom 2 is a double bedroom, and there is a particularly attractive bathroom with a contemporary white suite, including a freestanding bath, a walk-in shower with a fixed screen and a vanity basin. A separate cloakroom with a matching WC is located just next door.

On the top floor, there are two further double bedrooms and a separate shower room.

The property also benefits from a large utility room with additional fitted cupboards, space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, space for an American-style fridge freezer and a ground-floor shower room with a WC.

The garden includes a lawned area with flower borders and a few small, established trees. A useful garden shed/store is discreetly positioned at the end of the garden.
