Welcome to this charming, Victorian terraced house, situated in the historic County town of Dorchester. Available on the market for the first time in over 70 years, 17 Lorne Road has been a cherished family home, and is now ready for its next chapter.

The house, which boasts many original features and traditional character, presents a tremendous and exciting opportunity for improvement and extension (subject to relevant planning permission) for a new family to ‘put their own stamp’ on to enjoy, creating a conveniently located, modern and enjoyable living space within a highly desirable location.

The ENTRANCE HALL is welcoming and bright, providing access to the principal downstairs living rooms. The SITTING ROOM, which is located to the front of the property, has a generous south facing bay window which provides natural light into the room and beyond. The DINING ROOM with parquet flooring, is accessed from the hallway, and additionally through double doors leading from the sitting room, creating a feel of ‘open plan’ living and space. The room features an electric fire set within a tiled surround which conceals one of the historic fire place openings within the home. The KITCHEN and BATHROOM are both located to the rear of the property, with access through the kitchen to the garden.

The FIRST FLOOR comprises three bright and airy bedrooms; two of which are double rooms. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is of a generous size, featuring a fireplace surround within the original stack, and a south facing aspect. The two bedrooms to the rear enjoy pleasant views over the garden. The upstairs maintains the original timber floorboards and doors.

Outside
The garden provides a generous and adaptable space, which is ideal for enjoying outdoor leisure time, and entertaining with family and friends. There is ample space for outbuildings if required. Unusually, the garden also has access from a lane to the rear of the property, providing convenient and alternate access.

Location
Lorne Road is very conveniently located within the heart of Dorchester in a predominately residential area within quick and easy walking distance from the town centre.
