## Description

Austin Estate Agents are pleased to offer for sale this extended mid terraced character property offering spacious accommodation throughout. The property is mostly double glazed and offers gas central heating, with a ground floor cloakroom and a large garden with detached garage to rear. This family home requires some updating and modernising, however it is competitively priced to reflect this. 

The property boasts an entrance door to the porch which leads onto a spacious reception hallway, with the added advantage of a ground floor cloakroom and storage area. The lounge is situated to the front of the property and offers a delightful double glazed bay window which floods the room with natural light. An archway naturally leads into a large dining room with double opening doors that open into an airy conservatory/garden room, overlooking the rear garden.  

The first floor offers three well sized bedrooms, all benefiting from natural light with access to a family bathroom. The bathroom features complementary tiling and a white suite comprising a wash basin, a WC and a panelled bath with shower over.

Externally, the property boasts an enclosed front garden with the desired possibility of off-road parking subject to consent from the local authority. The rear garden is sizeable with a raised decking area that overlooks a lawned garden. There is a various selection of plants and shrubs that border the garden, and a gate giving access to the rear.  

A fully detached, larger than average garage sits at the rear of the garden with up and over door, accessed from the rear. Viewing of this property is recommended to appreciate the range of opportunities that the property has to offer. 

The property is situated in Lodmoor, close by to local shops and amenities, including bus routes to surrounding areas and Lodmoor Country Park, a hub for community events throughout the year. It is within a short drive of Weymouth Relief Road providing good access to neighbouring towns and villages.
