Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • 'Town meets country' in the heart of Dorchester
  • Original dairy and outbuildings now converted
  • Grade II listed
  • Four bedrooms as well as study
  • Outside space to rear
  • Allocated parking space and car port
Welcome to Fordington Dairy: once an old dairy, it is now a private, gated development set around a central quadrangle, each original property carefully reflecting its origins together with some newly built homes sensitively designed in 'period' style. With a strong sense of community, this engaging development feels akin to 'town meets country' and makes for an appealing way of living.

Forming part of a terrace of cottages, this carefully considered Grade 2 listed conversion works well for practical living. A long HALLWAY has an understairs storage space and a useful GROUND FLOOR SHOWER ROOM with good size shower cubicle, wash-hand basin and W.C. A separate STUDY is another advantage. The roomy SITTING ROOM has plentiful space for soft furnishings and is particularly light and bright. French doors lead to the sunny patio and raised garden area to the rear. Adjacent is the KITCHEN/DINING ROOM approached via double doors from the sitting room or independently from the hallway. The kitchen design makes a practical working area and there are a number of base and wall cabinets, together with space for a dishwasher/washing machine; appliances include a 4 burner gas hob and integral electric oven. The gas fired boiler is also located here. The dining area will easily accommodate a large table and the layout of the ground floor makes for easy entertaining.

Upstairs on the FIRST FLOOR are FOUR BEDROOMS – the principal bedroom being particularly generous. There are fitted cupboards to one of the bedrooms. The modern contemporary BATHROOM has a ‘P ’shaped bath with shower screen and a mixer tap/shower attachment, together with W.C and wash-hand basin.

Outside
A gated entrance leads into the development and there is a central courtyard area for parking.

One PRIVATE PARKING SPACE and one CAR PORT lies opposite the cottage for the use of this property only. A pretty garden lies to the front of the cottage and there is also a patio to the rear with raised planting area - a sunny spot being predominantly westerly-facing.

Location
An ever popular development noted both for its interesting historical background and also its accessibility to key landmarks such as Dorchester town centre, railway station, schools, Dorset County Hospital, and the open green space of Salisbury Fields. The county town of Dorchester itself is steeped in history and enjoys some of the county's most noted period architecture, all set amongst beautiful rural countryside with easy access to the coast at Weymouth. Amenities are plentiful including: mainline rail link to Waterloo, cinema, arts centre, museums, wine bars and schools.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on May 5, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on May 5, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
