4 bed detached house for sale

Hayward Road, Poundbury DT1

Set along the ever-popular Hayward Road, this stylish home immediately feels calm, balanced and thoughtfully designed. High ceilings, sash windows and soft, neutral décor create a lovely sense of space and light throughout, while the arched bay windows on the ground floor add both character and charm.

The ground floor is well arranged for modern living. A welcoming entrance hall leads through to a versatile reception room, ideal as a snug, playroom or more formal sitting room. To the rear, the kitchen/dining room forms the true heart of the home - beautifully appointed with a central island, integrated AEG appliances and Porcelanosa tiled flooring, it’s a space designed for both everyday life and entertaining. A separate utility room keeps everything practical and tucked away, with access out to the garden.

Up on the first floor, the main sitting room is a standout space. Triple aspect and filled with natural light, it opens onto a balcony with views across the Great Field — a lovely spot to sit and unwind. The principal bedroom sits alongside, complete with fitted wardrobes, an en-suite bathroom and its own French doors leading out to the balcony overlooking the garden.

The second floor offers three further generous double bedrooms, all dual aspect, along with a well-appointed family bathroom. From here, elevated views stretch out across the Great Field and beyond, adding to the sense of openness this home enjoys.

Outside, the rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with paved and gravelled areas, complemented by well-established planting that brings colour through the seasons. There is rear pedestrian access leading to a double garage, with one electric door, along with an additional parking space to the side.
