With its handsome architectural detailing and distinctive façade, this attractive detached townhouse sits comfortably within Poundbury's characterful streetscape. Built by renowned local builders Morrish in 2009, the property combines traditional styling with modern living, offering versatile accommodation over three floors, complemented by a separate studio apartment above the double garage.
The welcoming ENTRANCE HALL has stairs rising to the upper floors, a useful understairs storage cupboard and a conveniently positioned CLOAKROOM with wash hand basin and W.C.
At the heart of the home is the KITCHEN/DINING ROOM, a sociable space equally suited to everyday family life and entertaining. The kitchen features a range of wall and floor-mounted units with work surfaces over, together with a central island providing additional preparation space and storage. Integrated appliances include a double oven and ceramic hob with extractor above, whilst there is space and plumbing for a washing machine, dishwasher and tumble dryer. The adjoining dining area comfortably accommodates a family-sized table, whilst double doors from the kitchen open onto the adjacent patio, overlooking the garden and creating a natural connection between indoors and out during the warmer months.
Completing the ground floor is a separate STUDY, ideal for home working, with direct access to the garden.
Ascending to the FIRST FLOOR, the generously proportioned SITTING ROOM stretches across the front of the house, where three tall sash-style windows flood the room with natural light. A fireplace provides an attractive focal point, creating a welcoming retreat to enjoy in the cooler months. BEDROOM THREE is a comfortable double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and enjoys views over the rear garden.
The SECOND FLOOR accommodates two further double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes and rooftop outlooks. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM benefits from an EN-SUITE comprising a shower cubicle, pedestal wash hand basin and W.C.
BEDROOMS TWO AND THREE are served by the FAMILY BATHROOM, comprising a panelled bath, wash hand basin set within a vanity cupboard, heated towel rail and concealed W.C.
Double doors from the second-floor landing open onto a BALCONY, offering a delightful spot to enjoy a morning coffee.
A particular highlight is the SEPARATE STUDIO APARTMENT situated above the double garage and accessed independently via its own front door. This light and spacious accommodation incorporates an open-plan living and sleeping area with a fitted kitchen featuring wall and floor-mounted units and space for an undercounter fridge. A separate SHOWER ROOM comprises a shower cubicle, wash hand basin set within a vanity unit and W.C. Ideal for visiting guests, extended family, dedicated home office or rental opportunity, the studio offers considerable flexibility.
Outside
The enclosed rear garden offers a private retreat, combining paved terraces with an artificial lawn for easy maintenance throughout the seasons. An attractive brick wall and timber fencing provide enclosure, whilst established planting and colourful pots soften the surroundings.
Double doors from the kitchen/dining room open directly onto the garden, creating a natural setting for al fresco dining, summer gatherings or simply relaxing outdoors. There is also the added convenience of gated side access to the garden.
At the far end stands the DETACHED DOUBLE GARAGE, offering generous parking, storage and EV charging. An independent entrance leads to the studio apartment above, providing valuable additional accommodation separate from the main house.
