Northover Close, Piddletrenthide, Dorchester DT2

A beautifully renovated three-bedroom home with a stylish kitchen/dining room, versatile utility room and attractive enclosed garden, ideally situated in this popular Dorset village.

The Property

This attractive three-bedroom linked semi-detached house was built in the 1970s and occupies a peaceful position within a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after village of Piddletrenthide. Ideally situated towards the centre of the village, the property enjoys easy access to an excellent network of footpaths and bridleways, providing wonderful opportunities to explore the surrounding countryside.

The house has been thoughtfully renovated to a high standard throughout, incorporating a range of individually sourced, high-quality fittings and finishes throughout. Recent improvements include a new kitchen and boiler in 2023, a new bathroom in 2025, and Karndean flooring throughout the ground floor, installed in 2022.

A welcoming front porch opens into the inner hall, which provides access to a useful downstairs cloakroom. The bright and comfortable sitting room has a large window overlooking the front garden, together with an attractive central open fireplace providing a charming focal point.

To the rear, the impressive kitchen/dining room spans the full width of the house and provides an excellent space for both family life and entertaining. The kitchen is beautifully fitted with stylish sage green, solid wood cabinetry, generous work surfaces and ample room for a family dining table. There is space for an American-style fridge/freezer, dishwasher and lpg/electric range cooker, together with provision for additional appliances. A door opens directly onto the rear garden, creating a seamless connection between the kitchen and outside space.

Upstairs, there are two generously proportioned double bedrooms and a well-presented third single bedroom, all of which have been tastefully decorated. The stylish family bathroom is particularly well appointed, featuring a freestanding bath and separate shower cubicle with marble tiling.

Outside

The property enjoys a generous front garden, predominantly laid to lawn, with a pathway running alongside the house and leading to the front door. A driveway provides useful off-street parking.

The single garage has been thoughtfully adapted to create a spacious, fully insulated utility room, with a door providing direct access to the rear garden. This versatile space offers potential for a multitude of uses, with plumbing and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer available in the kitchen if required. The front section of the original garage has been retained as useful storage, accessed via the original up-and-over door and benefiting from both light and power.

To the rear, a generous patio provides ample space for outdoor seating and alfresco dining, while deep flower borders and established areas for vegetable growing add colour and interest. A garden shed provides further useful storage.
