The adjacent KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM is fitted extensively with a large number of base and wall units and has an integral dishwasher, double oven/grill/hob with extractor fan over and space for a fridge/freezer and washing machine. A small lobby from the kitchen gives access outside and also to the UTILITY ROOM with space for a tumble dryer plus additional storage. The DINING ROOM is extremely spacious and can easily accommodate a large table for entertaining. Two windows frame views of the garden.

On the FIRST FLOOR landing is an airing cupboard and five bedrooms in total. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM has a predominantly east-facing aspect and so beautifully sunny in the mornings. The ENSUITE SHOWER ROOM has a double shower unit, pedestal wash-hand basin and close-coupled W.C. BEDROOMS TWO & THREE are both double rooms: one has two built-in wardrobes. BEDROOMS FOUR & FIVE are single rooms. The FAMILY BATHROOM has a panelled bath, pedestal wash-hand basin and W.C.

Outside
There is plentiful parking to the front of the house and the plot wraps around the house, being lawned to the rear with a paved patio area taking full advantage of the sun. A small timber garden shed is included, and it is generally a private space with a pleasing outlook.

Location
This part of Barnes Way is located just off South Court Avenue: a very popular area in which to live in the heart of Dorchester. A historic market town, Dorchester is known for its rich history, charming architecture, and picturesque surroundings. The county town offers a range of amenities, including shops, restaurants, cafes, leisure facilities and county hospital. Well-regarded St Osmunds C of E Middle School is a short walk away and Thomas Hardye Senior School is also within easy reach. Dorchester is also home to several cultural attractions, such as the Dorset County Museum and the Maumbury Rings, an ancient Roman amphitheatre. The area is well-connected with transportation links (London/Waterloo), making it easy to explore the surrounding countryside and nearby Jurassic coast within this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Overall, Dorchester is an inviting place to live, offering a mix of modern conveniences and a touch of traditional English charm.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on February 1, 2024

    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 February 1, 2024

    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
