Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Character and convenience
  • Three bedrooms and two reception rooms
  • Generously sized basement/cellar
  • Southwest-facing courtyard garden
  • Ideal for town and river walks
Welcome to Friary Lane and this three-bedroom mid-terrace house, that combines both charm and convenience. The front door opens into the inviting ENTRANCE HALL from here, the option to explore the twin reception rooms or ascend to the first and second floors via the staircase.

The SITTING ROOM lies to the front of the residence and is centred around the cosy coal effect gas fire. To one side is a feature alcove providing a further focal point and to the other: a floor to ceiling glazed display cabinet in keeping with the period. This pleasing reception room enjoys the morning sun courtesy of the generous sized window. The separate DINING ROOM can accommodate a sizable dining table and chairs for both casual or more formal dining. Sunlight graces this space through the south-west facing window. A door and quarter turn staircase (with restricted head height) descends to the BASEMENT CELLAR, measuring some 190 sq.ft this generous space is currently used for enviable storage but can be flexibly repurposed.

Leading off the dining room lies the KITCHEN. An airy space with plentiful light, the sink ideally positioned under one of two windows overlooking the courtyard garden and with sliding patio door providing access. There is an array of both wall - mounted and floor - based cupboards alongside work surfaces for food preparation. Fitted with plumbing and spaces for essential appliances such as a washing machine, dishwasher, and fridge/freezer, it also features an area for a cooker with a fitted fume hood.

Venturing up the stairs to the FIRST-FLOOR LANDING doors gain access to the principal bedroom and the shower room. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM embraces the morning sun. Floor to ceiling built in wardrobes the length of one wall provides abundant storage and hanging space. The BATHROOM which lies adjacent has been converted to a shower room with double shower tray with side screen rainfall and separate hand shower attachment. The modern suite also comprises a wash hand basin and W.C.

To the second floor, you'll discover a spacious landing that offers a fantastic potential for a study area. From here, two equally sized bedrooms await, both offering views of the townscape and beyond. BEDROOM TWO sits at the front of the house, whilst BEDROOM THREE occupies the rear.

Outside
THE REAR COURTYARD GARDEN is a sunny retreat – enjoying a coveted southwest – facing direction. This walled courtyard has been largely paved for effortless maintenance and enjoys a good degree of privacy. A timber gate provides additional side access. The advantage of Residents’ Parking is available in and around North Square for those living in the immediate vicinity.

Location
One of the joys of living in Friary Lane is its location, just off North Square and nearby riverside walks along the River Frome: ideal for those seeking to be in close proximity of the very many facilities within the town centre.

The county Town of Dorchester provides an array of amenities including mainline rail links to London Waterloo, county hospital, cinema, arts centre, museums, highly regarded schools, a variety of eateries and bars. Together with plentiful shopping facilities. Sporting facilities include golf at Came Down and sailing at both Weymouth and Portland. The famous Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site – a simply sunning coastline is just a few miles away. Overall, Dorchester is steeped in history, and enjoys some of the county’s most noted period architecture all set amongst beautiful Dorset countryside.

This property is all about character and convenience, ideally located for a short stroll into town or magical river walks along the River Frome just down the road. Although so close to town there is a degree of peacefulness, the character accommodation with small courtyard doesn’t disappoint.

    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 March 10, 2023

    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
