Description
Situation - The property is situated within the popular expanding village of Crossways, located on the outskirts of Dorchester. Crossways offers a good village school that is in the catchment area for Dorchester’s Thomas Hardy Upper School. Located about 6 miles east of Dorchester, is a vibrant Dorset village with around 2,267 residents. The village offers essential amenities such as local shops, library, community and youth centres, a doctors surgery, and the Warmwell Leisure Centre, all within a walk or short drive. A rail link via Moreton station makes travel easy to Dorchester and beyond. Moreton, a smaller village perched beside the River Frome exudes rural charm and is known for tranquil walking and cycling routes, including the Purbeck Cycle Way, Jubilee Trail, Hardy Way, and the Frome Valley Trail. Attractions include the beautiful engraved windows at St Nicholas’ Church, the grave of T.E. Lawrence and the Moreton Walled Gardens, a serene 5-acre landscaped space with flowers, café, and gift shop. The village hosts equestrian and cycling events, plus long-distance trails and horse-riding.
Key Features - A beautifully maintained front garden creates a charming and welcoming approach to the property. A driveway leads to a single garage, while a path guides you to the front door, which opens into a central hallway providing access to all ground floor rooms. The spacious entrance hall sets the tone for this impressive home, featuring neutral décor and attractive flooring that flows through to the ground floor cloakroom/WC and into the kitchen/dining room. The kitchen/diner is a good size, offering ample space for dining furniture. The modern kitchen is well equipped, comprising wall and base-level units with matching work surfaces over, incorporating integrated appliances including a side-by-side, top-to-bottom, fridge and freezer, an oven with four-ring induction hob, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. The matching units also discreetly house the boiler, while double doors open onto the garden, allowing plentiful natural light to fill the space. The spacious living/sitting room is elegantly presented and flooded with natural light from its triple aspect, featuring front and side windows fitted with white shutters. French doors provide secondary access to the garden, further enhancing the living.
Stairs rise to the first floor, leading to a bright and open landing providing access to all four bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom enjoys a front aspect and benefits from en-suite facilities. Two of the bedrooms feature rear-aspect windows with pleasant views overlooking the field, enhancing the sense of space and natural light.
The family bathroom is tastefully finished with a modern suite, including a panel-enclosed bath, wash hand basin with fitted vanity storage beneath, and W/C. The suite is complemented by a large inset mirror with lighting, along with attractive, fully tiled walls and flooring.
The delightful rear garden is a standout feature, generous in size, private, and mainly laid to lawn with a variety of planted shrubs and trees. A patio area abuts the property, providing the perfect spot for outdoor relaxation. A gate to the side fence offers access to the front of the property.
