A prominent four-bedroom Victorian townhouse arranged over four floors in the heart of Dorchester, offering generous room sizes, high ceilings and a large bay-windowed lounge with an open fire. The house has strong period character throughout, including mouldings and sash-style windows, and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing (install date unknown).
Living space extends to a kitchen/diner, garden room with steps up to a pantry, and a converted basement currently used as study/utility/craft space with further potential subject to inspections and permissions. The fully enclosed south-facing rear garden is a definite family asset and the property sits within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants and the main line train station to London Waterloo.
Practical considerations are clear: the house dates from 1900–1929 and is of solid brick construction with no known cavity insulation, so thermal upgrades could be beneficial. There is a single bathroom for four bedrooms, council tax is above average and the local area shows signs of deprivation and above-average crime—factors to weigh for family buyers or investors.
This is a substantial home with excellent scope to modernise and tailor to contemporary family living while retaining its period charm. Buyers seeking a roomy town-centre home near schools and transport will find strong potential here, but should budget for energy-efficiency improvements, possible refurbishment work and consider local area indicators when deciding to view.
