Harewood Road, Poundbury, DT1 3RN

A beautifully presented three-bedroom home with two allocated parking spaces and an enclosed rear garden, set in a particularly convenient position within Poundbury – just a short walk from Queen Mother Square, the Buttermarket and local schools. Built in an attractive cottage style, this is an easy home to live in, with well-balanced accommodation, a manageable garden and so much of everyday life within walking distance. The entrance hall has a useful ground-floor cloakroom and leads into a welcoming sitting room, where a flame-effect gas fire creates a cosy focal point. To the rear is the kitchen/dining room, a lovely sociable space with plenty of room for a dining table and doors opening directly onto the garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of contemporary wall and base units, with space for a freestanding dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washing machine and cooker. Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms together with a good-sized single bedroom, making the layout equally suitable for a young family, guests or someone looking for a dedicated home office. There is also a modern family shower room and useful airing cupboard. Outside The enclosed rear garden has been designed to be easy to look after, with paved areas and a raised decked seating area – plenty of room for a table and chairs and somewhere to enjoy the warmer months without spending every weekend maintaining the garden. There is also an outside tap, garden shed and pedestrian gate giving direct access to the property's two allocated parking spaces immediately behind. Location For us, the location is one of the real strengths of this home. Queen Mother Square and the Buttermarket are both within easy walking distance, putting Waitrose, cafés, restaurants, the pub, Post Office, butchers and other independent businesses close at hand. Families are also particularly well placed for both Damers First School and The Thomas Hardye School, while Dorchester town centre and its two railway stations are within easy reach. Poundbury itself has been designed around the idea of being able to walk to much of what you need. Alongside its shops and restaurants there are green spaces, independent businesses, a doctors' surgery, dentist and veterinary practice, creating a genuine community rather than simply a residential development. Dorchester offers everything else you would expect from Dorset's county town, with shops, restaurants, cafés, cinemas, leisure facilities and mainline rail connections, while the countryside and Jurassic Coast are only a short drive away. *OUR VIEW* We think this is a really easy house to like. The accommodation works well, there are three good size bedrooms, the garden won't take over your weekends and having two allocated parking spaces is a real bonus. But it's the position that particularly stands out. Being able to walk to Queen Mother Square, the Buttermarket and local schools gives the house a convenience that we think will appeal to a wide range of buyers. Whether you're looking for a first home, somewhere for a young family or simply an easy-to-manage property with Poundbury on your doorstep, we think this one is well worth seeing.
