House For Sale £675,000
DECEPTIVELY SPACIOUS family home overlooking Fordington Green with an unusually large garden and outbuilding. Garage/Parking currently used as Fordington Deli.
This beautiful and deceptively spacious town house enjoys an enviable position close to the town centre and overlooking Fordington Green. The property, which was once a shop and a vetinary surgery offers its next custodians great opportunites, with the garage having permitted use as a a small deli, currently known as Fordington Deli.
The entrance hall benefits from a convenient cloakroom/wc nestled underneath the staircase. The sitting/dining room which was originally two rooms is a welcoming space, with two fireplaces including a gas-fired 'woodburner'. The cast iron fireplace opposite includes fitted shelving to one side.
The kitchen/breakfast room has been extended to create an open and sociable space for family and friends. With plenty of storage, gas hob, dual eye-level ovens, together with space and plumbing for a dishwasher and a fridge/freezer, this room is well placed to serve a large family! The adjacent utility area also provides space for a washing machine.
The first floor comprises two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom features fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room whilst bedroom two also has a fitted wardrobe and enjoys pleasant views over the garden. The family bathroom features a panelled bath with a shower over, a WC, wash hand basin and bidet.
The second floor has two further bedrooms. Bedroom three is a large double with far reaching views across the town and an en-suite shower room. Bedroom four is also a double room with a fitted wardrobe and access to the en-suite.
Outside, the large integral garage is currently used as a small deli (A1 planning permisson granted) and the vendor is open to selling the buyer the stock, under separate negotiations. Double doors at the rear lead through onto a hardstanding area which could be used as a parking area if needed.
The rear garden is certainly one of the most salient features of this home, with a southerly aspect and an abundance of shrubs and small trees which provide a high degree of privacy. The sun-drenched patio abuts the french doors leading from the kitchen/breakfast room, providing the perfect space to enterain during the warmer months. The walled vegetable garden and small orchard are neatly tucked to one side next to a large timber outbuidling with power and lighting. This space would make an ideal work from home office space, subject to any necessary consent.

Dorchester Town is most famous for being the County Town of Dorset and being the birthplace of the famous poet and novelist Thomas Hardy in 1840. The life and works of Thomas Hardy form a strong part of the cultural background of Dorchester, which is recognised worldwide as the centre of attraction for students and followers of this great literary figure. The property has good access to Dorchester's surrounding countryside for horse riding, walking and other rural pursuits and the town also lies a short distance to the West of the Purbeck Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The World Heritage Site of the Jurassic Coast is only a few miles away. Sport in the area includes golf at Came Down, Dorchester Cricket, Football and Rugby Clubs and Sailing in the Olympic waters of Portland and Weymouth. Communications are excellent, with main line railway links to London Waterloo and Bristol, cross channel services at Poole, an airport at Bournemouth and there is a very effective road network.
