4 bed detached house for sale

Damers Road, Dorchester DT1

An extended 1920's detached house with generous level South facing rear garden in a convenient location in Dorchester town.

The Property

This substantial 1920s brick-built property has been thoughtfully renovated throughout, combining a traditional period layout with a contemporary single-storey extension. The impressive open-plan living and family room features bi-folding doors opening onto the generous south-facing landscaped garden, creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. Further improvements include a new air source heat pump system, modern kitchen, updated family bathroom and a versatile utility room with plumbing already in place for a downstairs WC and shower room, if required, or simply as an office space.

The ground floor is centred around the impressive open-plan living and family room, providing generous space for both dining and relaxing. A tiled floor with underfloor heating, four sets of bi-folding doors and two atrium skylights fill the room with natural light. The space flows through to the modern fitted kitchen, which features white solid-surface worktops, dark blue cabinetry and integrated appliances including a fridge, freezer and dishwasher, with space for an electric range cooker.

To the front of the property is a versatile sitting room, currently arranged as a fourth bedroom, with built-in storage and a bay window. A separate utility room houses the air source heat pump and provides space and plumbing for a stacked washing machine and tumble dryer within a cupboard. With plumbing already installed, the room could readily be adapted to create a downstairs shower room / WC, or alternatively used as a home office.

On the first floor are three bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from a bay window and built-in cupboards & wardrobes. The recently refitted family bathroom features a modern white suite with a shower over the bath.

Outside

The stone flooring in the sitting room continues seamlessly through to the external patio seating area, creating a natural connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. The patio benefits from external lighting, electrical points and a water tap. The majority of the garden is laid to a level lawn, with a gravel pathway to one side leading to a timber-decked seating area, further gravelled area and a timber garden shed at the far end. A side gate provides access to the front of the property.

To the front, there is off-road parking on the driveway for a couple of cars.
