About this property
Chimes House, Fordington, Dorchester
An exceptional period semi-detached Grade II Listed townhouse, Chimes House occupies a prime position in the heart of Dorchester, offering an impressive blend of character, space, and versatility arranged over multiple floors.
The ground floor opens with a welcoming entrance hall, setting the tone for the home's charm and elegance. To the left, a generous sitting room flows seamlessly into a dedicated dining area, creating an ideal space for both relaxing and entertaining. To the rear, the well-appointed kitchen features ample storage and an Aga, complemented by a practical utility room, a downstairs WC, and a light-filled orangery-style extension-perfect for a variety of uses, from casual dining to a garden room.
On the first floor, two bright and airy double bedrooms showcase attractive character features. This level is further enhanced by a secondary living space, currently arranged as a library and home office, offering flexibility to suit modern lifestyles.
The second floor provides two further spacious double bedrooms, while the top / third floor is dedicated to an outstanding principal suite. This impressive retreat includes a walk-in wardrobe and a contemporary en-suite bathroom, complete with a freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower. Character features such as wooden beams and sash windows can be enjoyed in many of the primary bedrooms.
Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front, there is ample off-road parking with an EV charging point, while to the rear a double carport garage-constructed by Warwick Buildings-adds further convenience with a further EV charging point. Planning permission for a double garage with accommodation above has been granted. The expansive walled garden is a true highlight, offering a series of hidden oasis spaces. These include two lawned areas (one enjoying views over Salisbury fields), a separate garden room, additional outbuilding, and multiple patio seating areas-ideal for outdoor entertaining and relaxation.
Chimes House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful home in a sought-after Dorchester location, perfectly suited to family living.
