Characterful three-bedroom home with garage and large garden, close to Dorchester.
Period granite and brick cottage with slate roof and character features
Set on a large plot in sought-after Charminster, this three-bedroom detached cottage blends period character with practical family living. Original granite/brick elevations, exposed chimney and a slate roof give the house strong curb appeal, while double glazing and a fitted kitchen with a Rayburn provide modern convenience.
The ground floor offers two reception rooms, a kitchen with utility and useful understairs storage; upstairs are three double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a generous en-suite to the principal. Outside there is a private front garden, gated driveway for multiple cars and a single garage with light and power — useful for storage or workshop space.
Important considerations are presented plainly: the property has an EPC rating E and granite external walls are assumed to have no insulation, which will affect running costs and may need upgrading. Approval has been granted for 30 houses opposite on Wanchard Lane (planning ref WD/D/20/003259) — potential impact on outlook and traffic should be considered.
This home will suit buyers seeking village living close to Dorchester’s amenities, families wanting good local schools, or purchasers happy to carry out targeted improvements to improve comfort and energy efficiency. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is average, making the house practical for modern life while retaining rural character.
