About
A Beautifully Updated 1930s Detached Home with Driveway, Garage and Generous Garden Light, bright and beautifully presented, this detached 1930s home combines the character and generous proportions of its era with a thoughtful programme of recent improvements, creating a stylish and welcoming home ready for its next chapter.
Set back from the road with its own driveway, the property is approached via a welcoming entrance porch.
Inside, the bright hallway immediately gives a sense of the natural light found throughout the home, with useful understairs storage and stairs rising to the first floor.
To the front, the sitting room is a particularly inviting space.
A large bay window allows natural light to pour into the room, while the simple, contemporary décor creates a calm and comfortable place to relax.
The separate dining room offers generous space for family meals and entertaining, together with useful built-in storage which also houses the boiler.
At the rear of the house, the newly fitted kitchen/breakfast room has been thoughtfully designed with both style and practicality in mind.
Contemporary cabinetry provides excellent storage and is complemented by a range of integrated appliances including a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, oven and microwave, with a useful breakfast bar and views towards the rear garden.
A door leads through to the utility/ WC, where there is space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer. Upstairs, the light-filled landing leads to three bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The principal bedroom is a generous double positioned at the front of the house, with a beautiful bay window adding both character and an abundance of natural light.
Bedroom two is also a comfortable double and enjoys views across the rear garden, while the third bedroom is a charming single room, again overlooking the garden.
The family bathroom has been beautifully updated and features a bath with shower over, including a rainfall shower, creating a fresh and contemporary space.
The current owner has undertaken a significant programme of improvements to the property.
Works include a newly fitted kitchen, updated bathroom, rewiring and electrical works, a Glow-worm boiler, new fascias and guttering and additional insulation to the kitchen roof.
Together, these carefully considered improvements have created a comfortable modern home while retaining the proportions and character of the original 1930s property.
Outside, the rear garden is laid predominantly to lawn, offering a generous and wonderfully usable outdoor space with plenty of potential for families, keen gardeners or those simply looking for room to relax and entertain.
To the front, the driveway provides off-road parking and leads to a single garage, offering further parking or valuable storage.
The location is equally convenient, with the property positioned opposite the middle school and within walking distance of The Thomas Hardye School, Dorset County Hospital, local doctors and a wide range of shops and everyday amenities.
Dorchester offers an excellent blend of historic charm and modern convenience, with independent shops, cafés and restaurants alongside excellent transport links, making this a particularly well-placed home for families and those looking to enjoy everything the county town has to offer.
Bright, stylish and thoughtfully improved, this is a home where much of the hard work has already been undertaken—leaving its next owners free to move in, unpack and make it their own.
