This characterful two-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage occupies a compact footprint close to Blandford Forum town centre, offering easy access to shops, schools and local amenities. The house combines period details — sash-style windows and feature fireplaces — with practical modern touches such as UPVC double glazing, gas central heating and laminate flooring. For anyone looking to downsize or buy near the heart of town, the property delivers immediate comfort and low running costs (cheap council tax, no flood risk).
Internally the layout is traditional with a through lounge and separate dining room; the dividing wall has been removed in similar nearby properties to create a larger open-plan living space, so there is scope to reconfigure. The kitchen is fitted and functional, and the bathroom provides a bath with shower over. Bedroom two houses the gas combi boiler and both bedrooms have built-in storage.
Outside, a south-facing rear garden is mainly low-maintenance slate shingle with a small grassed area and patio for seating. A substantial outbuilding with light and power gives excellent storage or workshop potential. Note the overall internal size is small (approximately 473 sq ft) and the plot is modest, which suits buyers prioritising location and low upkeep rather than large living areas.
The property sits in an area classified as ageing urban communities/communal retirement; this may appeal to quieter household types and downsizers. Broad amenities, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern living, but some period features (unused fireplaces) and the compact room sizes mean buyers should be ready to adapt the layout to suit their needs.
