Victorian semi-detached with period features and exposed timber floors
This well-presented Victorian semi offers comfortable, characterful living within easy walking distance of Dorchester town centre. The house combines original features — sash-style windows, ornamental fireplaces and exposed timber floors — with a contemporary open-plan kitchen/diner that benefits from vaulted skylights and direct garden access. Offered with no onward chain, it suits buyers seeking a ready-to-move-into family home with versatile reception space.
Accommodation comprises a bright sitting room, a generous open-plan kitchen/diner with vaulted ceiling and double doors to the garden, an adjacent snug/family room, cloakroom and useful utility/boot room. Upstairs are three bedrooms (two generous doubles and a smaller double) and a family bathroom with bath and separate shower. Practical highlights include gas central heating, all mains services and ultrafast FTTP broadband.
Outside is a modest front garden, a side driveway providing off-street parking for one to two cars, and a rear garden split between lawn and raised decking with established borders and fruit trees — ideal for outdoor dining. The plot is modest in depth, so buyers wanting extensive grounds should note the limited garden size.
Location is a strong asset: town-centre shops, cafes, leisure facilities and two train stations are within easy reach, and several well-regarded schools fall within local catchments. Buyers should note the local context: the immediate neighbourhood is described as ageing urban communities with above-average crime statistics, so practical security measures and awareness of the local area are advisable.
