Outside
A brick wall provides the front boundary, and the paver driveway provides plentiful space for parking. The paver drive continues to the side of this handsome residence leading in turn to the DETACHED DOUBLE GARAGING. The garage has an automated garage door, power, light, window and side personnel door. To the rear of the garaging is a timber GARDEN SHED for the garden tools.

The REAR GARDEN is a delight extending to over 100 ft with generous paved patio for entertaining and provides the perfect vantage point to simply sit, survey and to enjoy the garden. Currently this extensive garden is a bit of a blank canvass largely arranged to lawn, ideal for kicking that ball about and outdoor activities.

Location
Set in the highly regarded area of Manor Park, on one of Dorchester’s much favoured tree lined roads, this four-bedroom home is within the immediate catchment area for Thomas Hardye School and is perfectly positioned for ready and easy access to the town centre, and the glorious open countryside.
