Description

This significant four-bedroom detached home, built around 1880, presents a valuable opportunity for those looking to invest or renovate. Set on an expansive plot, the property features a spacious rear garden with a desirable South-Westerly aspect, complemented by two garages and off-road parking accessible from the rear. Inside, the layout consists of up to four adaptable reception areas, including a lounge/diner, dining room, conservatory/sunroom, and an additional flexible front reception which could serve as an office or extra bedroom. The first floor benefits from far-reaching countryside views visible from several rooms. Although requiring internal modernization, the generous spaces throughout promise potential for creating an ideal family residence. The entrance leads into a welcoming hall that connects to various living spaces. The main reception area is ample in size and offers versatile uses with its gas fire and bay window seating. The expansive lounge/diner flows seamlessly into the dining room/breakfast room and on to the sunlit conservatory overlooking the mature garden—this area is ripe for transformation into a stunning kitchen/diner. On the upper level, the split landing directs occupants to four well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. Externally, the property boasts not only a large mature garden but also further development potential subject to obtaining necessary planning permissions. This dual access layout enhances convenience while providing options for future enhancement or expansion. Located on the outskirts of Weymouth with easy access to local amenities and schools, this property represents an exciting venture into renovation or investment.
