Welcome to this family home situated in a favoured village location, awaiting its next chapter. This much-loved detached property would now benefit from a little TLC and is offered for sale with no forward chain.

The welcoming front door opens into the ENTRANCE HALL with doors to all principal ground floor rooms, and with the straight staircase rising to the first floor, the hall also having an ever useful under stair cupboard. The inviting SITTING ROOM is light filled courtesy of the large window overlooking the particularly appealing south facing rear garden. This reception room is centred around the cosy fireplace with timber mantle. The separate DINING ROOM is also light and airy with window to the east catching the morning sun and double doors opening to the conservatory. The dining room readily accommodates a dining table. The CONSERVATORY is a delightful vantage point from which to survey the lovely garden. The KITCHEN lies to the fore of the house and overlooks the generous front drive and with door to the side entrance and outside. There is an array of cupboards together with drawers, whilst the sink is positioned under the window. A built-in cupboard provides still more storage options, and there is space for all traditional appliances. One of the wall mounted cupboards houses the Glowworm™ boiler. Discreetly positioned betwixt the kitchen and the dining room is the CLOAKROOM with W.C., and wash hand basin.

Venturing upstairs is the landing with natural light coming from the front aspect window, doors lead off to the four bedrooms. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM & BEDROOM TWO are both double bedrooms and lie to the front of the residence. BEDROOM THREE & BEDROOM FOUR overlook the rear garden, bedroom three is also a comfortable double bedroom whilst the fourth bedroom is a single room with built-in wardrobe. Concluding the accommodation is the BATHROOM with panelled bath and wash hand basin together with the airing cupboard, adjacent is the W.C.

Outside
A drive provides off road parking for vehicles and leads in turn to not one but TWO SINGLE GARAGES both with up and over doors. The FRONT GARDEN boundary is largely hedged with cherry laurel providing a high degree of privacy, there is an area of lawn with shaped border, well stocked providing both interest and colour, together with an apple tree. The REAR GARDEN has also been clearly much loved, extending to some 70ft the garden is largely laid to lawn, interspersed with a Japanese Camilia, Smoketree, Apple tree, Cheesewoods to name but a few. A paved patio provides a delightful seating area. In addition, there is a green house and for keeping all those garden tools – a timber garden shed. There is further paving to the side of the residence with a return timber gate to the front garden.

Location
The desirable village of Charminster lies just 2 miles from the County Town of Dorchester. The village derives its name from the River Cerne and the charming ‘minster’ Norman church of St Mary resulting in “Cerneminster” recorded in 1223, it has since evolved into the delightful Charminster we know and love today. This vibrant and welcoming community has the advantage of a shop/post office, two inviting pubs, a modern village hall for community events and gatherings, and families will appreciate the convenience of a nearby primary school and bus service. The nearby county town of Dorchester is famed for its literary history, weekly market, museums, eateries, and well-regarded schools. It is also home to the county hospital and mainline stations to London Waterloo and Bristol. From the residence country and river walks abound, whilst nearby Weymouth (approx. 20 mins drive) offers breathtaking walks along the Jurassic Coastline as well as an award-winning, golden sandy beach.

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 7, 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

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on August 4, 2022 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
