Set on a corner plot in the attractive village of Godmanstone, this end-of-terrace three-bedroom home offers practical family living across two floors. The property provides two reception rooms, a conservatory that opens directly onto a westerly-facing garden, and a separate utility room — practical for everyday family use and entertaining. The village location in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty gives easy access to countryside walks, a farm shop and nearby Dorchester amenities.
The house is traditional in layout and of average overall size (around 975 sq ft), with features that include a front sitting room with a wood-burner insert and a dining room leading to the conservatory. Outside space is a strong asset: the garden wraps around the front and side, offering paved seating and lawn areas on a decent-sized plot. Mobile signal is excellent for most providers, and local schools are well regarded, making this a sound choice for families.
Practical considerations are clear: the property has an EPC rating E, oil-fired central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing installed before 2002, and likely limited wall insulation due to the system-built construction era (1950–66). Broadband speeds are slow locally and a Section 157 restriction applies to the tenure. These factors point to potential running-cost and improvement work for a new owner, but also to scope for upgrading to improve comfort and energy efficiency.
Overall this home suits buyers wanting village life with straightforward, adaptable accommodation and outside space. It will particularly appeal to purchasers willing to carry out targeted improvements (insulation, heating upgrades, or modernising finishes) to reduce running costs and raise the EPC rating.
