There is a sense of individuality to this handsome Poundbury townhouse that becomes apparent almost immediately. Over the years, the owners have carefully curated the interiors, introducing bespoke joinery, high-quality materials and some particularly thoughtful design details. The result is a home which feels distinctly its own, while retaining all the architectural character associated with Poundbury.
An ENTRANCE VESTIBULE, opens into a spacious ENTRANCE HALL where hand-laid oak block flooring continues through to the ground-floor RECEPTION ROOM. Wonderfully versatile, this could serve equally well as a dining room, family room or home office. A CLOAKROOM completes this part of the accommodation.
The KITCHEN/DINING ROOM is a particularly generous and sociable space, with ample room for a substantial dining table and a door opening directly onto the garden. The kitchen itself is arranged along two sides of the room, combining an extensive range of cabinetry with solid oak work surfaces and integrated appliances, including double ovens and an induction hob. Thoughtful details give the room considerably more personality than might ordinarily be expected, from the slim mosaic-tiled splashback and open display shelving to illuminated display niches incorporated above the tall cabinetry. Tall sash windows bring in plenty of natural light, while the generous proportions allow the dining area to feel very much part of the room rather than simply an addition to the kitchen.
Upstairs, that same attention to detail continues. The FIRST-FLOOR LANDING incorporates a bespoke bookcase cleverly concealing a radiator, while the elegant SITTING ROOM is beautifully proportioned, with tall sash windows bringing in plenty of natural light. Bespoke bookcases and low-level cabinetry flank the upgraded fireplace, creating a strong focal point and giving the room an appealing sense of permanence.
The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM SUITE has been similarly considered, incorporating a dedicated DRESSING ROOM with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes and a beautifully appointed EN SUITE by Bathroom Inspirations. Marble-effect floor tiling, a generous double shower, wall-hung vanity furniture and bespoke shelving combine to create a suitably polished finish.
The SECOND FLOOR provides THREE FURTHER BEDROOMS, offering flexibility for family, guests or working from home, together with the FAMILY BATHROOM. Here, a monochrome scheme combines crisp white tiling with dark flooring and striking animal-print wallpaper, giving the room a wonderfully individual feel. Both a bath and separate shower provide practicality without compromising the strong decorative style.
From the second floor LANDING, an upgraded loft ladder leads to an unusually useful FULL-HEIGHT LOFT. Boarded by the present owners and with windows at either end, it provides an excellent amount of readily accessible storage.
Outside
The success of the courtyard garden lies not in its size, but in the imagination and thought with which it has been created. Rather than simply providing an outside space, the owners have treated it almost as another room, carefully landscaped to provide a series of distinct areas in which to sit, dine and entertain.
Victorian-style tiling and paving add character, while upper and lower patios and a more secluded seating area create different perspectives. Equal thought has been given to nature, with planting chosen to encourage birds, bees and other wildlife, bringing colour, movement and life into this intimate space. Outside lighting and power allow it to be enjoyed well into the evening.
A SINGLE GARAGE provides additional storage within its roof apex, together with power and lighting, while a dedicated PARKING SPACE has an electric vehicle charging point.
Location
Lower Blakemere Road occupies a particularly convenient position within POUNDBURY, the distinctive urban extension to Dorset's county town, designed around traditional architecture and the principle of creating a community in which many everyday needs can be met on foot.
From the property, a broad range of amenities is within easy reach, including Waitrose, cafés, restaurants, independent shops, salons and professional services. Queen Mother Square provides a natural focal point, while the network of green spaces, squares and walkways gives Poundbury a pleasantly established feel.
DORCHESTER itself offers a wider range of shopping, cultural and recreational facilities, together with Dorset County Hospital and schooling for all ages. The town has two railway stations, including mainline services from Dorchester South to London Waterloo.
Beyond the town, Dorset's beautiful countryside is readily accessible, while the Jurassic Coast and the beaches, harbour and sailing waters of Weymouth and Portland are also within convenient driving distance.
