HOUSE prices always seem to becoming more and more expensive, but every now and again a property comes up that is an absolute bargain.
And the cheapest house in Dorset according to Rightmove - which is on the market with a guide price of just £139,950 – is exactly that.
This one-bedroom end of terrace property is based in Bell Inn Yard, off Salisbury Street in Blandford Forum.
Marketed by Vivien Horder estate agents, it is described as a “superbly presented brick and flint end of terrace character cottage” based within the town centre.
The property, which has been “greatly improved” by its current owner, features a spiral staircase within its living area, which leads up to its bedroom. You can view more photos of the property in the above gallery.
Since this article was originally published in November 2020, a spokesman for Vivien Horder confirmed the property has remained up for sale but had no offers.
Buyers who are seriously interested in the property are allowed to view the property, but must wear a face covering and adhere to social distancing measures.
Its brochure states: “On entering this truly individual character cottage you are greeted by the open-plan kitchen/living room with exposed floorboards and attractive spiral staircase leading to first floor.
“Three UPVC double glazed windows give ample natural light and the bespoke kitchen area comprises a mix of hardwood and stainless steel worktops with inset circular sink and four ring ceramic hob with cooker hood above, as well as the electric fan assisted oven.
“There is additional shelving and a glazed wall unit.
“On ascending the spiral staircase you walk directly into the bedroom with vaulted ceiling, walls with inset timbers and exposed brickwork and 2 single glazed windows give ample light.
“The dressing room/study has a sloping ceiling with Velux window and a feature inset timber panelled wall.”
The cottage, which boasts open-plan living, has inset timber panelled walls along with electric heating with thermostatically controlled radiators.
