We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
This charming terraced home is perfectly positioned in one of Dorchester’s most convenient and desirable central locations, just a short walk from the town centre, Waitrose and an excellent range of local amenities.
Combining character features with thoughtful modern updates, the property offers stylish yet practical living throughout.
*No forward chain* The ground floor is centred around a welcoming open-plan living/dining room, enhanced by high ceilings and a feature fireplace, creating a light and sociable space to relax or entertain.
To the rear, the kitchen is both attractive and functional, fitted with a range of eye and base level units, solid wood worktops, a Belfast sink, integrated electric oven and five-ring gas hob.
A rear vestibule provides access to a convenient downstairs W.C. and leads out to the garden.
Upstairs, there are two generous double bedrooms along with a spacious shower room, fitted with a modern white suite and walk-in shower.
Outside, the rear garden is a real highlight - a great size, fully enclosed and designed for low maintenance, with a seating area and gravelled section, ideal for relaxing or entertaining.
There is also access to useful storage sheds. Residents’ permit parking is available for the car park opposite (approximately £200 per year).
