An imposing Victorian mid-terrace reimagined for contemporary family life, this newly refurbished Dorchester home spans four floors and nearly 4,800 sq ft. The heart of the house is a high-spec Smallbone kitchen and extended family room with full-height glazed doors onto a private, unusually generous rear garden — perfect for children, pets and entertaining. Flexible living includes a formal sitting/dining room with bay, separate study, games room, cinema room and a self-contained guest annexe for multi-generational use or long-stay visitors.
Sleeping accommodation is arranged to deliver privacy and comfort: a luxurious principal suite with dressing room and ensuite, five further double bedrooms with ensuites, plus a seventh bedroom in the annexe. Practicalities are well covered with a utility, pantry, garage with internal access, and two tandem off-street parking spaces. The property benefits from modern comforts including mains gas central heating, double glazing and excellent broadband/mobile signal.
Be clear about costs and improvement scope: council tax is high and the original cavity walls are noted as having no insulation (assumed), so buyers should budget for potential energy-improvement works. As a mid-terrace period house (c.1900–1929) there are shared walls and typical maintenance considerations for an older property, despite the recent renovation. Overall, this is a rare large-townhouse opportunity in a very affluent, low-crime area close to parks, good schools and transport links to London and the Jurassic Coast.
