Summary - 3 ALINGTON TERRACE DORCHESTER DT1 1JS
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Two spacious double bedrooms with plenty of natural light
Step into a roomy two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace in the heart of Dorchester, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking period character with practical living space. High ceilings and an open-plan living/dining room create bright, sociable interiors, while two double bedrooms give real flexibility for guests or a home office.
The kitchen combines traditional features and modern convenience: Belfast sink, solid wood worktops, electric oven and gas hob, with direct access to a sizeable, fully enclosed rear garden. The garden is low-maintenance with patio and gravel areas plus storage sheds — a genuine outdoor extension to the house.
Practicalities are straightforward: freehold tenure, mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing, and residents’ parking permit for nearby car park (approx. £200/yr). Council tax is described as low, making running costs attractive for a new owner.
Be clear about the trade-offs. The property is a pre-1900 solid-brick terrace with no known wall insulation (assumed), and parts of the interior show dated mid-20th-century finishes needing modernization. Broadband speeds are reported slow and the immediate area records above-average crime; these are material factors for buyers to consider. Overall this is a well-located, characterful home with scope to modernise and improve energy efficiency.
