Toller Porcorum, Dorchester

There is an immediate sense of calm to this bungalow home, with its generous accommodation sitting comfortably within the greenery of its mature garden. Throughout, windows frame leafy outlooks and natural light filters into the rooms, creating a home that feels wonderfully connected to its surroundings.

From the central hallway, glazed double doors open into the SITTING ROOM, an inviting and particularly spacious room where there is ample opportunity to create different places to relax. A feature fireplace forms a natural focal point, while windows on more than one side bring glimpses of the garden into the room. Double doors open directly onto the terrace, allowing the garden to become a natural extension of the living space during the warmer months. It is easy to imagine this as the heart of the home, equally suited to quiet evenings by the fire or gathering everyone together when family and friends visit.

The DINING ROOM enjoys its own connection with the garden. Broad glazing and doors onto the terrace allow the outlook to become part of the room, while in warmer weather the door can simply be opened and life allowed to spill outside. From leisurely breakfasts overlooking the greenery to summer lunches that continue onto the terrace, it is a lovely space for both everyday living and entertaining.

The adjoining KITCHEN is bright and practical, with an extensive arrangement of cabinetry and work surfaces providing plenty of room for preparation and storage. Windows above the sink look directly into the garden, while the adjoining UTILITY ROOM takes care of the everyday necessities and helps keep the main kitchen uncluttered.

The bedroom accommodation continues the feeling of space found elsewhere in the home. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is a peaceful retreat, complemented by ample fitted storage and its own EN-SUITE. Of the three further bedrooms, BEDROOMS THREE AND FOUR also benefit from generous built-in storage, while the versatility of the accommodation leaves plenty of scope for family and visiting guests, or perhaps the opportunity to create a dedicated home office or creative space if required.

The FAMILY BATHROOM is fitted with a bath and shower over, while a separate W.C. adds further practicality to the arrangement. Particularly useful when the house is full.

Perhaps most appealing is the easy relationship between the house and its garden. Whether looking out through the windows, enjoying breakfast with the doors open or stepping straight from the DINING ROOM onto the terrace, the established greenery is never far away. Comfortable and clearly well cared for, the home is ready to enjoy while also offering its next owners the opportunity to gradually make it entirely their own.

AGENTS NOTE: The property has been constructed using Scandia-Hus timber frame.
