3 bed detached house for sale

Treves Road, Dorchester DT1

A charming and generously proportioned 1920s detached family house in a popular Dorchester town location, with garage and driveway parking.

The Property

Built in the 1920s of brick construction under a tiled roof, this charming family home retains many of the characterful features of its era, including high ceilings, picture rails, fireplaces and well-proportioned rooms, complemented by the modern conveniences of double-glazed windows and gas central heating. Situated on Treves Road, close to the town centre, properties of this type rarely come to the market. The house benefits from a spacious rear garden and a quaint, secluded garden to the front.

The traditional entrance leads into a lobby and welcoming entrance hall, with an attractive staircase, cloakroom and separate WC. There are two elegant principal reception rooms to the front, linked by glazed French doors. The sitting room has a central gas fireplace, while the dining room features built-in bookshelves. To the rear is a versatile additional reception room overlooking the garden, with access to the kitchen and lending itself particularly well as a breakfast room.

The kitchen has a good range of storage cupboards and space for a breakfast table, with provision for a cooker, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. A useful utility room provides further storage, an additional sink, space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and a stable door to the garden.

On the first floor are three well-proportioned double bedrooms and an office. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in cupboards and an ensuite shower room, while the remaining two bedrooms are served by a spacious family bathroom with bath and shower over, WC and wash hand basin, together with a separate WC.

A further staircase leads to two useful loft rooms with skylights, one of which has previously been used as a fourth bedroom. These rooms offer excellent flexibility for children, teenagers, hobbies or occasional guest accommodation. There is also a useful storage room and access to the loft space.

Outside

The generous garden has a lovely private and secluded feel, with a variety of shrubs and small trees adding to its established character. A large area of lawn extends from the seating patio, which adjoins the rear of the house, while at the far end is a timber summerhouse and a small collection of ornamental trees.

A side gate provides access to the driveway, while the opposite side leads to a useful area with space for raised beds and access to the front of the property. The single garage has an up-and-over door, lighting and power, with a useful workshop to the side.

Situation

Dorchester is a thriving county town offering an excellent range of shopping, dining and leisure facilities. The popular Brewery Square development provides a vibrant destination with restaurants, cafés, a cinema and a selection of independent and national retailers, while the town also benefits from a variety of sports and recreational facilities.

The property is well placed for a number of reputable schools and Dorset County Hospital, with Dorchester South and Dorchester West railway stations providing mainline services to London Waterloo and Bristol Temple Meads respectively. A Tesco superstore and retail park are also within walking distance.

The surrounding area offers excellent opportunities for walking and outdoor pursuits, with nearby routes leading towards the historic Maiden Castle and into the beautiful Dorset countryside. The spectacular Jurassic Coast, a unesco World Heritage Site, is also readily accessible.
