3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Colliton Street, Dorchester, Dorset DT1

A beautifully renovated Grade II listed Georgian house, sympathetically restored and enhanced to create an elegant and exceptionally well-appointed three bedroom home in the heart of Dorchester.

The Property

Believed to date from the 1820s, this attractive Grade II listed semi-detached house retains many of the features associated with the Georgian period, including high ceilings, sash windows, fireplaces and pleasing proportions throughout. The house has undergone a meticulous programme of renovation and improvement, carried out sympathetically and in accordance with listed planning consent, creating a beautiful home that combines its period character with the comfort and practicality of modern living.

The renovation has successfully retained the character and proportions of the original house, while introducing a high standard of finish throughout. Carefully chosen joinery, flooring, sanitaryware and fittings complement the period architecture, resulting in an interior that feels both elegant and contemporary.

The ground floor provides a particularly attractive sequence of living spaces, with the sitting room leading through to a generous dining room and on to the kitchen, creating a natural flow and excellent spaces for both everyday living and entertaining.

The sitting room is a warm and characterful reception room, with high ceilings, sash windows and a fireplace housing a wood burning stove, which provides an attractive focal point.

Beyond this is the dining room, a well proportioned room with plenty of natural light and ample space for both family meals and more formal entertaining.

The kitchen is a particular highlight of the renovation and has been beautifully designed to complement the character of the house. Painted cabinetry, open shelving and a central island create a practical and sociable space, with the island providing generous preparation and storage space as well as an informal place to sit.

A useful cloakroom completes the ground floor.

The first floor provides two good double bedrooms and a beautifully appointed family bathroom. The second floor provides a further double bedroom and an additional modern bathroom.

Outside

The garden has been comprehensively landscaped to create an attractive and highly usable extension of the accommodation. The design has been carefully considered, with raised timber edged beds, gravelled areas and brick edged pathways creating a series of defined spaces while retaining a simple and sympathetic character. Steps and changes in level add interest to the garden.

The garden is both practical and visually appealing, with areas suitable for planting, entertaining and relaxing. The use of natural materials and the restrained landscaping complement the age and character of the house particularly well, while the enclosed nature of the garden provides a good degree of privacy and a peaceful environment despite the property's central location
