Situation

Poundbury is an urban development of the County Town of Dorchester and is King Charles iii’s vision for the development of new communities in the 21st century. It is designed to be a sustainable development where it is possible to meet a higher proportion of daily needs on foot, rather than relying upon a car. Within walking distance to the property there are a plethora of amenities including The Duchess of Cornwall Hotel and Restaurant and an ever-growing range of bistros, coffee shops, beauty salons, shops, hairdressers, dentists, medical centre, garden centre and the highly regarded Damers First School. The Great Field is a short walk away and offers a wonderful open space and play area. In the Queen Mother Square there is a A Monart luxury spa within the Royal Pavilion, a Waitrose, Brace of Butchers and the Dorset Wine Co, while the Dorset County Hospital is also nearby.

Description

Stepping through the secure wooden front door, you are greeted by a welcoming entrance hallway featuring tiled flooring that flows seamlessly into the ground floor living spaces. This level is designed for ultimate functionality, offering a modern cloakroom with integrated storage, a useful understairs cupboard, and a dedicated utility room. The utility space keeps laundry tucked away, providing plumbing for a washing machine, a stainless-steel sink, and external access to the garden. At the heart of the ground floor is a bright, open-plan kitchen and dining room fitted with wall and base level units with work surface over. Integrated appliances include an eye-level Electrolux oven and grill, plus a 4-ring gas hob with an extractor hood over. There is also ample space for a freestanding dishwasher and a fridge-freezer. French doors open from the dining area directly onto the rear garden, creating a perfect indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining. Stairs rise to the first floor, which hosts a bright and airy, versatile lounge that benefits from a triple-aspect layout, filling the room with plentiful natural light. A further bedroom is also situated on this level, perfectly lending itself to use as a study. The principal bedroom is found on the second floor; it is double in size and also benefits from a dual aspect, framing picturesque views of the rolling countryside towards Came Down and Maiden Castle. This room further boasts built-in wardrobes and offers direct access to the family bathroom via a Jack & Jill door. The bathroom is fitted with a panel-enclosed bath with an overhead shower, tiled splashbacks, an extractor fan, and a vanity washbasin. A second door leads back out to the landing to serve the final bedroom, which is a comfortable single complete with a fitted storage cupboard and courtyard views. Additionally, an airing cupboard on the landing houses the hot water tank.
