Description

This three-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage presents a compelling opportunity for renovation, situated on a generous plot with scenic views over adjacent meadows. The property is constructed from brick beneath a pitched tiled roof and features uPVC double glazing and electric heating, along with off-road parking facilities. Located conveniently near the county town of Dorchester, it offers easy access to local amenities including shops and schools. Internally, the cottage is in fair condition but requires modernisation to unlock its full potential. The light-filled accommodation includes an entrance hall with storage space. The kitchen is equipped with basic cabinetry and work surfaces, along with vinyl flooring and room for essential appliances such as an oven and fridge/freezer. The sitting room boasts an open fire, providing a charming focal point as well as an electric storage heater.

The ground floor also features a bathroom fitted with essential amenities including a bath/shower combination. Upstairs are three bedrooms offering flexibility for family living or guest accommodation. Externally, the spacious gardens are primarily lawned and home to established shrubs, while the five-bar gate at the front allows for additional parking options. Situated on the edge of Dorchester, this cottage combines rural charm with urban convenience; it’s within walking distance to local eateries and supermarkets. The area boasts extensive recreational activities including nearby footpaths leading to picturesque countryside and proximity to the Jurassic Coastline's sandy beaches and outdoor pursuits. This property represents an exciting project for those looking to invest in a home that can be tailored to their taste.
