A HOUSE being labelled Dorset's 'cheapest' five bedroom property is to go under the hammer next month.

The Grade II listed property, located on North Square in Dorchester, will hit the market with a guide price of £250,000 when listed at auction on February 16.

The spacious house has been in the same family for the past 40 years but has remained unoccupied since 2019 after the last tenants vacated.

Before being converted into a family home the building was home to a popular fireplace shop at the heart of the town.

Situated over three floors and covering 3,475 square feet, the building boasts five bedrooms as well as a cellar, library, and a study room.
