The Property
This mid-terrace period house of brick construction enjoys a leafy setting on a quiet and private road towards the outskirts of Dorchester. The property requires modernisation and occupies a spacious plot, with off-road parking and a garage to the front, together with generous gardens to the rear. The house is offered for sale with vacant possession.
Providing well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors, the property comprises an entrance hall, kitchen, sitting room and separate dining room with some period features on the ground floor. The first floor offers three double bedrooms and a bathroom.
Outside
To the front, there is a single garage and an enclosed front lawn, which offers potential to create off-road parking if desired.
To the rear, the garden comprises a generous lawn, a shaded timber walkway, a timber deck providing an area for outdoor seating, and a level patio adjoining the rear of the property.
