The property is freehold and sits in a very low crime, affluent area close to Dorchester town centre, schools and countryside attractions. Nearby transport links include rail services to major cities and regular buses. Buyers should note council tax is above average and the house was built in the 1950s–1960s, so some original elements or services may require updating despite recent improvements.
Overall this is a spacious, well-presented family home with versatile rooms, strong energy credentials, and good outside space. It will appeal to families seeking long-term comfort and scope for cosmetic updating rather than buyers seeking a newly built finish.
