Detached five-bedroom family home on a sought-after road, offering generous and versatile accommodation, a large wraparound garden, and scope to modernise and create a long-term home.

The Property - Set on a desirable road in Dorchester, this five-bedroom detached house offers an exciting opportunity to create a superb family home. Requiring modernisation throughout, the property boasts generous proportions, a versatile layout, and a wonderful plot with gardens that wrap-around the house.

The ground floor accommodation is well arranged, beginning with an entrance hall that provides access to the principal rooms. To the front of the property is a spacious triple-aspect sitting room, featuring a charming box bay window and double doors opening onto the garden, allowing for an abundance of natural light. Centrally positioned is a well-proportioned study. To the rear, the double-aspect dining room enjoys views over the garden and also benefits from double doors leading outside. Adjacent lies the kitchen/breakfast room, which offers great potential for reconfiguration and modernisation. Off the kitchen is a useful walk-in pantry and a separate utility room with space for white goods and direct access to the garden. A convenient ground floor WC completes the accommodation on this level.

Upstairs, the first floor provides five bedrooms of varying sizes, offering flexibility for family living, guest accommodation, or additional workspace. These are served by a family bathroom and a separate WC.

Outside - The house occupies a generous plot, with gardens predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by mature trees and established planting, providing both privacy and a pleasant outlook. The garden wraps around the house, enhancing the sense of space and offering scope for landscaping. To the front, a driveway provides off-road parking and leads to a detached garage.

Situation - This property is situated on Clarence Road, approximately half a mile from Dorchester town centre and within easy reach of Dorset County Hospital, as well as Dorchester South and Dorchester West train stations.

The county town offers a wide range of shops, restaurants and leisure facilities, including the vibrant Brewery Square development with its variety of shops, eateries and cinema, centred around an attractive fountain square. Dorchester also benefits from a library, cafés and bars.
