Situated in the desirable West Walks area of Dorchester, this Grade II listed detached house presents a remarkable opportunity for renovation and investment. Overlooking the scenic Borough Gardens, this property boasts a sought-after location with peaceful views and easy access to lush green spaces. Upon entry, you'll find a home that, while in need of updating, offers significant potential. The ground floor features an inviting open plan living and dining area, creating a versatile space ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. The dual aspect windows allow ample natural light to fill the room while providing pleasant views of the south-facing garden. The separate kitchen awaits modernization, offering direct access to the rear garden and the possibility of transforming it into a contemporary culinary haven. The accommodation includes two well-proportioned reception rooms, adaptable for various uses such as a formal dining area or study. The flowing layout encourages comfortable living throughout. On the first floor, there are two spacious double bedrooms filled with natural light, with the master bedroom enjoying picturesque views. A family bathroom services both bedrooms and presents an opportunity for modernisation to enhance its functionality. The property's southerly aspect garden is a significant asset; it's an excellent space for gardening or outdoor dining amidst tranquility. In addition, rare features such as a garage and off-road parking add value in this prime Dorchester location. Notably, there's also a basement/cellar that could provide additional storage or be repurposed into useful living space with the right planning permissions—perhaps a utility room or even a gym. As a Grade II listed home, this property retains many historical features that contribute to its charm. While requiring updating throughout, this is an exceptional chance for buyers to personalise their space and significantly increase its value within this vibrant neighbourhood. With an EPC rating of E and located on West Walks, residents benefit from convenient access to Dorchester's lively town centre filled with independent shops and cultural venues. Excellent transport links via local train stations connect you seamlessly to London Waterloo and beyond.
