Originally the corner shop, and now a generously-sized town house. Owners say, "We love how quiet it is, the space, and having the rare advantage of our own private parking and a sunny, westerly-facing courtyard. The nearby riverside walks are magical too."
Welcome to The Old Shoppe; reminiscent of days gone by when this was the local corner shop to this small neighbourhood and now having the benefit of larger windows than expected on the ground floor, flooding the area with light.
The joy of living in this particular house is not only the closeness to magical riverside walks by the river Frome, but the degree of peacefulness even though it is such a short walk straight into town. When you couple this with private parking and a sunny westerly-facing courtyard, it is a winning combination. The accommodation too doesn’t disappoint.
The spacious Entrance Hall has a handy CLOAKROOM and doors lead to the kitchen and sitting room. The KITCHEN has a range of fitted units, slot-in cooker with extractor above, sink unit, combined washer/dryer and dish washer and space for a fridge/freezer. French doors lead to the private, sunny courtyard. The very generous SITTING ROOM was originally the old shop and is beautifully bright with large windows to two sides, and high ceilings adding to the sense of space. Two glazed panels within the floor add not only intrigue, but also light to the BASEMENT ROOM/SNUG below which is entered via stairs from the Entrance Hall and is, again, another lovely large room.
Stairs lead up from the Entrance Hall to the FIRST FLOOR LANDING which is well-lit and has space for additional furnishing – perhaps even a study area. There is an airing cupboard with radiator on a practical note. BEDROOM ONE is another generous room and is also well lit with windows on two sides. It also has the advantage of an ENSUITE SHOWER ROOM, with wash-hand basin, shower cubicle and W.C. BEDROOM TWO is also a double room overlooking the courtyard and BEDROOM THREE is a fine single room. The BATHROOM is fitted with a panelled bath with mixer tap/shower attachment and has a wash-hand basin and W.C.
The property has the rare advantage of both its own CAR PARKING SPACE entered via an archway to the rear and a private, sunny WEST-FACING COURTYARD. This is an unusual combination in such a town location. There is also further on-street parking if required.
Just off North Square and nearby riverside walks along the River Frome: ideal for those seeking to be in close proximity of the many facilities within the town centre, and yet wanting to be quietly positioned, with an almost country feel. The county town of Dorchester is steeped in history and enjoys some of the county's most noted period architecture, all set amongst beautiful rural countryside with easy access to the coast at Weymouth. Amenities are plentiful including: mainline rail link to Waterloo, cinema, arts centre, museums, hospital, library etc.
