A handsome, characterful three-bedroom semi-detached home on one of Blandford’s most desirable roads, set well back with an unusually deep, private rear garden of approximately 180 feet. Period Tudor-Revival details, high ceilings and original fireplaces give the house charm while sensible updates — a modern kitchen and solar panels — add practicality and some energy savings.
The layout suits a family: two reception rooms, a ground-floor WC, first-floor study and three bedrooms. Off-street parking and turning space for multiple vehicles, a carport and lockable store add everyday convenience. The property sits within easy walking distance of primary and secondary schools, the sports centre, hospital, Milldown Nature Reserve and the Dorset Trailway.
Key positives are the large established south-leaning garden, generous parking and characterful living spaces. Important considerations: the listing references both mains-gas boiler heating and electric night storage heating; prospective buyers should verify the existing central heating arrangement and servicing history. The local area records higher crime levels than average, and parts of the house show typical maintenance and updating needs for a home of its age.
This house is best for families who value garden space and character, or buyers seeking a substantial plot with potential to improve and personalise. It offers rare private outdoor space close to town amenities, but comes with some practical checks to complete before purchase.
