The Property - A well-maintained and extended semi-detached home in the popular Manor Park area.
Accommodation - This five-bedroom home is thoughtfully arranged to suit modern family life, featuring generously proportioned rooms and a practical layout throughout.
The entrance porch leads into a welcoming hallway with useful under-stairs storage. The sitting room provides a relaxed space for everyday living and opens via sliding doors into a separate dining room, which enjoys direct access to the rear garden - ideal for indoor-outdoor living in the warmer months.
A further reception room offers versatility and could serve well as a home office, playroom, or additional lounge, depending on your needs. The kitchen is well-appointed with ample storage and workspace, as well as room for essential appliances.
Off the kitchen, the utility room provides space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. From here, a walk-in pantry offers additional storage - perfect for keeping everyday essentials organised and out of sight. A downstairs cloakroom completes the ground floor.
Upstairs are five bedrooms, three of which are good-sized doubles with fitted wardrobes. One of the bedrooms also houses the modern gas boiler and has existing plumbing, offering scope to create a second bathroom if desired. A loft hatch with a pull-down ladder provides access to additional storage.
The property benefits from gas central heating, UPVC double glazing, and a generously sized garage with power, lighting, and access from both the front and rear.
Outside - The rear garden is partially laid to lawn, bordered by well-established shrubs and flowering plants. A paved patio area adjoins the house, complete with an outside tap and space for potted plants or outdoor seating. At the far end of the garden, there is a small vegetable patch and a greenhouse, ideal for those with an interest in gardening.
The front garden features a neat lawn with mature shrub and flower borders, while the driveway provides convenient off-road parking.
Situation - Manor Park is one of the most desirable locations in Dorchester, situated approximately half a mile from the town centre.
