Beautiful three bedroom house and commercial showroom/barn in the heart of Dorchester on Thames.

Description

The house and barn have been beautifully renovated to a very high standard. Fitted with a beautiful kitchen and bathroom featuring high end appliances, fixtures and fittings and Clearview wood burning stoves fitted to all reception rooms in the house and barn.

The house is situated on the High Street directly opposite Dorchester Abbey. Set back behind a formal front garden, the front door opens to a lovely central hall with fireplace, wood panelled walls and bookcase. The kitchen, just beyond, has a stunning oak framed glass extension, with south and easterly aspects, opening to the courtyard garden. Bespoke painted wooden cupboards feature alongside a five-door electric dual control electric Aga and Miele integrated appliances. A small utility room with clever door storage sits just off. The lovely square sitting room features a beautiful limestone fireplace surround with views towards the Abbey. A cloakroom is situated just off the hall. Stairs rise to three bedrooms, two with pretty Victorian fireplaces. The principal bedroom has a Carrera marble en suite shower room. Bedroom three is presently used as a dressing room but would easily revert to a bedroom. The family bathroom has separate bath and shower.

The barn is accessed both from the High Street and the courtyard. Still featuring the original wooden stalls, this is a quirky and characterful building. Presently used as a showroom, the barn has A1 commercial use. Two mezzanine floors are presently used for office space and storage. There are two wood burning stoves (STUV & Charnwood) fitted to each end and a cloakroom.

The house has an enclosed courtyard garden. There is the option for vehicular access from the High Street via high wooden gates, should it be required, with a door opening to the barn. The barn also has a small gated area at the far end.
