This renovated three-bedroom mid-terrace in Fordington combines Victorian character with modern upgrades. The house has been refurbished to a high standard, including triple glazing, a fitted modern kitchen, underfloor heating to the ground floor and infrared heat panels upstairs. The layout across two storeys and around 1,131 sq ft suits a growing family or buyers seeking town-centre convenience with a substantial private garden.
Outside, the south-westerly rear garden is a standout: large, landscaped and planted with shrubs and apple trees, plus a covered patio with power. Two substantial outbuildings (one with power) add storage or workshop potential. There is scope to add solar panels to reduce running costs, subject to suitability and permissions.
Practical points to note: the property’s main heat source is electric (storage heaters and infrared panels), which can be more expensive than gas. The building is an older solid-brick Victorian terrace and is assumed to lack cavity wall insulation, so additional insulation work may be beneficial. The immediate area shows average crime and some local deprivation indicators, though the house benefits from fast broadband, affordable council tax and is within walking distance of Dorchester town centre and several well-rated schools.
