Summary
A wonderfully positioned two/three bedroom family home situated on the outskirts of Stratton village, just three miles from Dorchester. This fabulous property is presented in very good order throughout, offers versatile living accommodation, plenty of outside space, and benefits from no onward chain.
Description
A front gate from the cul-de-sac leads to an enclosed front garden which is mainly laid to lawn with a mature hedge boundary. A path leads to the front door and Entrance Hallway which has space for coats and boots. Stairs rise to the first floor, and doors lead to Bedroom Three and the Living Room. Bedroom Three is a good size double with an inbuilt wardrobe and front aspect window. The spacious Living Room has a feature fireplace and large front aspect window, along with a door to the Kitchen. The fitted kitchen features a range of base and wall-mounted cabinets, a countersunk stainless sink/drainer beneath a large window overlooking the rear garden, a useful Pantry Cupboard, and a door to the Study with the same rear aspect, featuring cedar worktops and wired internet. A door leads from the Kitchen to a Rear Lobby with a Storage Cupboard, a door to the fitted downstairs Bathroom with a modern fitted Suite, and the back door to the Rear Garden. From the First Floor Landing, there is a storage cupboard and doors to two bedrooms and the Shower Room which features a modern suite. Bedroom Two is a double with a side aspect window and eaves storage. Bedroom One is a spacious double with a vast range of fitted wardrobes, eaves storage, and gorgeous rural views via the front and rear aspect windows.
Outside, the front garden wraps around the side to a large rear garden, which is mostly laid to lawn and features a mature hedge boundary, an allotment area with a Rhino greenhouse and 5 oak raised beds, and a concrete path that leads to a patio area and the Garden Room. The Garden Room offers fantastic ancillary accommodation to the main house and is custom built of highly insulated timber frame on a brick base and concrete pad. This versatile space has light and power, underfloor heating, triple glazed bi-folding doors, and a reliable wifi transponder. Adjacent is a gravel driveway with parking for one vehicle and further shared parking beyond, all accessed via the street.
Notes
There are 14 solar panels on the east and west roof elevations which make a 3.5kw system that drastically reduces the property's running costs. These are owned outright and included in the sale.
The single garage to the rear of the property is outside of the property boundary on land which we are informed is owned by Magna Housing Association, but the garage has been in continuous use by the homeowners for many years without question.
There is planning permission for a double-storey extension which has lapsed.
There is a Section 157 restriction on this property which means it may only be purchased as a primary residence by a party who lives and/or works in Dorset and has done so for at least three years.
