Dorchester benefits from excellent travel links, with two railway stations providing direct services to London Waterloo, Bristol, and Weymouth, as well as good road connections via the A35 and A37.

Description
Entrance to this lovely home is via a generous walled driveway, offering parking for multiple vehicles and benefitting from a gated entrance for added security. The front garden is neatly presented and low maintenance, with a pathway and a mature shrub and tree found on either side. A partially glazed door opens into a useful porch, providing the perfect space to store outdoor clothing and footwear before entering the property's hallway. From here, access is granted to all principal rooms, as well as a door leading into the single garage, which benefits from an up-and-over door, power, and lighting. A generous storage cupboard provides excellent additional storage.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of modern white wall and base units with work surfaces over. Space and plumbing are available for appliances, and a rear-aspect door opens into the conservatory. From here, double doors provide direct access to the rear garden. Further accommodation includes a generous reception room, featuring a front-aspect bay window. The room is tastefully presented in neutral tones and fitted with carpet.
There are two bedrooms. Bedroom One is a good-sized double room enjoying a rear aspect, while Bedroom Two is a comfortable single room with a side aspect. The family bathroom is fitted with a suite comprising a spacious walk-in shower with an electric shower, a wash hand basin, and a WC. The room is finished with laminate flooring and fully tiled walls.
The rear garden is a good size and has been thoughtfully designed for ease of maintenance. An area of lawn adjoins the patio, which abuts the property and provides an excellent space for outdoor furniture and entertaining.
