House For Sale £895,000
Dickinson Bowden is pleased to offer this most handsome detached Edwardian family home which is situated in a most convenient town centre location.
Lovingly restored to its former glory over the past 15 years' the house beautifully combines elegant period detailing with modern day conveniences.
The accommodation includes a porch, a striking entrance hallway with original tiled floor and a sweeping staircase which provides access to the first floor. There is a double reception room with oversized doors which allows both rooms to be used independently or together. Both feature stunning original fireplaces whilst beyond the dining room there is a conservatory. Off the hallway there is a cloakroom and a useful boot room which leads to the rear garden. The large kitchen/breakfast room certainly feels like the hub of this home offering a sociable space where one can cook, dine and entertain, with a fireplace and inset wood burning stove providing a nice focal feature. There is a useful pantry and a utility room which is a good size and in turn leads to one of the two garages.
The first floor landing is flooded with plentiful natural light provided by two front facing sash windows and has doors which lead to three good sized bedrooms, one of which features a full bathroom en-suite with a separate shower. A shower room can also be found on this floor whilst on the top floor the long landing with ample fitted storage cupboards provides access to two further good sized bedrooms, one of which offers a further en-suite.
The property sits neatly back off the road and offers an abundance of off street parking which is rare for this particular part of Dorchester. This continues down the side of the property and in turn leads to the two garages which offer storage above, power, light and an electric car charging point.
The south-west facing rear garden offers variety and interest with a good size area of decking situated immediately to the rear of the house which is perfect for al-fresco dining in the summer months. There is a generous area of lawn, mature shrubs and trees. The garden is fully enclosed by an original wall which offers a good degree of privacy.
