4 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Dorset

3 4 2

Welcome to 18 Lancaster Road, an attractive family home, approached via a paved pathway leading from the driveway to the front door, which sits beneath a charming canopy porch.

Stepping inside, the welcoming ENTRANCE HALL immediately sets the tone for the rest of the home.

The SITTING ROOM is a bright, dual-aspect room, centred around an inset gas fire, with stone hearth and wood surround, perfect for cosy evenings in the cooler months. Large windows flood the room with natural light, creating a calm and inviting space.

The DINING ROOM is equally well-proportioned and easily accommodates a family table and chairs. From here, sliding patio doors open into the CONSERVATORY, enhancing the natural flow between indoor and outdoor living. The conservatory itself is a wonderful, versatile room with views overlooking the garden.

The KITCHEN is fitted with a range of wall and floor-mounted units complemented by work surfaces over. The stainless-steel one-and-a-half sink is positioned beneath a window, offering pleasant views across the garden. Integrated appliances include an eye-level electric Hotpoint™ double oven, gas hob with extractor over, with space for a fridge/freezer and plumbing for a dishwasher. A door leads to the adjoining UTILITY ROOM, providing additional storage, a sink, with space and plumbing for a washing machine. On a practical note, a door gives access to the side of the property which has a gated paved pathway leading from the driveway.

A STUDY positioned at the front of the property easily accommodates a desk and further furniture and creates an ideal space for those working from home. Discreetly positioned off the hallway is a CLOAKROOM fitted with a wash-hand basin and W.C.

Venturing up the stairs, the landing leads to four comfortable bedrooms and a family bathroom. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM enjoys a pleasant outlook over the rear garden and benefits from free standing wardrobes providing ample storage. Adjacent, an EN-SUITE SHOWER ROOM includes a corner shower cubicle, pedestal basin with wall-mounted cabinet above, and W.C.

BEDROOM TWO is another spacious double with views over the rear garden, while BEDROOM THREE has fitted wardrobes. BEDROOM FOUR is currently arranged as a guest room but could equally serve as an additional study or hobbies room.

Completing the accommodation, the family BATHROOM comprises a panelled bath with screen and a shower over, wash-hand basin, and W.C.
