Set on a large plot in a sought-after Dorchester street, this detached five-bedroom chalet-style home offers substantial flexible accommodation for family life and multi-generational use. The property includes a self-contained one-bedroom annexe plus a separate one-bed apartment, creating income or independent-living potential, and benefits from planning permission to extend upwards to create further space.
Inside, the main house delivers a generous kitchen/diner/conservatory, two reception rooms, utility and ground-floor WC, with three double bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs. Large windows and patio doors open onto mature gardens, while driveway parking for four cars and a two-storey garage add practical everyday convenience. The house is chain-free and offered as freehold.
Buyers should note the building dates from the early 20th century and some elements will require attention: cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed), the double-glazing install date is unknown, and the property’s heating runs on a mains gas community scheme. Council tax is flagged as expensive. These are tangible maintenance and running-cost considerations alongside the opportunity to modernise and improve energy efficiency.
This home will suit a growing family or buyers seeking rental/annexe income and future expansion potential. The location is handy for local schools, Dorchester town centre and transport links, combining generous outdoor space with adaptable internal layout. With planning permission already approved, the property is well placed for buyers wanting to add value through extension.
