Welcome

…to this superbly positioned, detached property situated close to the heart of the county town of Dorchester. Fordington has a genuine village feel yet is within walking distance of local amenities.

Prepare to be surprised at what greets you inside Malak House.

A PORCH with internal door opens onto the ENTRANCE HALL and ground floor accommodation. The handsome, spacious SITTING ROOM is flooded with light from windows to the front and patio doors opening onto the courtyard garden at the rear. Stone tile flooring and wood burning stove give this room both a traditional feel and a sense of modernity, a stylish retreat any time of the year.

The DINING ROOM with KITCHEN/ BREAKFAST ROOM beyond together form a very generous living space. The open plan layout is multifunctional and flexible, great for entertaining and family gatherings. Its spacious configuration allows for more than one chef. Plentiful kitchen units have a contemporary finish and contrast with the honeyed pine engineered flooring. Integral kitchen appliances include dishwasher, fridge-freezer, Zanussi ™ double oven, Lamona ™ induction hob with cooker hood over and washing machine. A breakfast bar provides for alternative, informal eating with the benefit of storage too. The perfect storage room is a larder located in the heart of the kitchen.

A door to the rear hall opens to a downstairs CLOAKROOM with WC, hand-wash basin and has the advantage of a shower unit. A large STOREROOM completes the ground floor accommodation. A door from the rear hall provides access to the off-street parking for one car.

Stairs from the entrance hall rise to the FIRST FLOOR where there are FOUR BEDROOMS, all but one facing south and west to exploit the light. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM has dual aspect windows making it bright and airy. It has generous fitted wardrobes to one wall. BEDROOM TWO is a good-sized double. BEDROOM THREE and FOUR are sizable single bedrooms. Bedroom four has the advantage of a built-in wardrobe and a skylight brings in natural light.

The FAMILY BATHROOM is finished in a smart, sharp décor. It has a panelled bath, W.C, wash-hand basin, and heated towel radiator.

On a practical note the loft space is easily accessible with a built in ladder, has lighting and is fully boarded above the back hallway and store room.

Outside
The small COURTYARD GARDEN provides space to enjoy the outdoors. It has a useful garden shed and a spacious GARDEN STUDIO with electric lighting and sockets, providing the versatility to be used as a work/artist studio or just a cosy, quiet retreat. A gate from the enclosed courtyard gives access to the off-street parking for one car.

Location
The property is enviably located in one of Dorchester’s most sought-after areas of Fordington, with proximity to the village green, church, convenience shop, and a charming village café. It is just a short walk to the town centre shopping, eateries, art and cultural venues. The property falls within the catchment area for the Thomas Hardye School and is close to the mainline railway station serving Weymouth and London Waterloo.

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

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on April 21, 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
