About this home

A striking example of Regency elegance in a highly central Dorchester location, this property offers substantial space across three floors and boasts attractive period features throughout. It represents a rare opportunity to secure a well-maintained, character-filled home with fantastic potential.

Internally, the property offers two well-proportioned reception rooms, a large Kitchen Breakfast Room, a Family Bathroom, a Shower Room with WC, a Downstairs WC, and Five Double Bedrooms. Outside, the property offers an enclosed, private South-facing Front Garden, and Walled Rear Courtyard Garden with a pedestrian gate for access to an Allocated Parking Space. There is also a useful Outbuilding/Cellar for storage. Alexandra Terrace is a beautiful terrace of Regency period townhouses situated in the heart of the Dorchester conservation area, equidistant to the shops and Borough Gardens. Dorchester is the County town of Dorset, steeped in history and offering fantastic amenities and a weekly market. The property is just a short walk from the pedestrianised shopping area of South Street and Waitrose Supermarket. Within a mile radius are several well-regarded primary and secondary schools, most notably the Thomas Hardye School which is rated Ofsted Outstanding. Sunninghill Prep is also nearby in the private sector. Transport links are plentiful with main roads in all directions, local bus routes, and mainline railway stations to both London Waterloo and Bristol Temple Meads. Shopping and recreational facilities are in abundance, including a thriving high street, trendy Brewery Square development, and two supermarkets. Dorchester is surrounded by rolling hills and open countryside, and the Jurassic Coastline can be found just a short drive to the South, along with the bustling seaside town of Weymouth, renowned for its golden sandy beach and stunning Esplanade.
