Description

This three-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage presents a promising renovation project, ideally positioned on a spacious plot with breathtaking views of the adjacent meadows. With no onward chain, this property is primed for those eager to modernise and enhance its value. Built of brick beneath a pitched tiled roof, it features uPVC double glazing, electric heating, and off-road parking, conveniently located near Dorchester's amenities. Though in fair condition, the property provides an excellent foundation for updates. The interior layout includes an entrance hall with storage options and a kitchen outfitted with basic units that could be revitalised to meet contemporary standards. The sitting room boasts an open fire and electric heating while showcasing pleasant garden views. On the upper level, you will find three bedrooms awaiting personalisation. Outside, the generous gardens are predominantly lawned and dotted with established shrubs, offering potential for landscaping or additional parking through the five-bar gate. Situated on the outskirts of Dorchester, residents can take advantage of local pubs and supermarkets while enjoying access to a range of recreational facilities. The proximity to both train stations ensures ease of travel to London Waterloo and Bristol Temple Meads. With scenic footpaths nearby leading to the stunning Jurassic Coastline just a short drive away, this property not only promises a comfortable living space but also presents an exciting investment opportunity in a desirable location.
