Property description & features

  • Tenure: Leasehold (62 years remaining)
  • Two bedroom first floor (with lift) retirement flat
  • Right in the heart of the town centre
  • Residents’ parking
  • Communal gardens
A bright purpose built flat constructed in 1989 and occupying perhaps the most convenient position for this style of development right in the heart of the town. The main entrance to the development is off South Walks Road and the town centre is immediately to hand.

Priced to reflect the element of updating anticipated, the ACCOMMODATION has an entrance hall with a deep built-in cupboard where the electricity meter is located providing a useful space for coats and boots etc. Also located within the hallway is the security entrance phone and a useful airing cupboard, with slatted shelving, a copper hot water cylinder and immersion switch. Night storage heaters (Economy 7) provide the heating and there are linked alarm pulls to Careline.

The SITTING ROOM has plentiful room for soft furnishings and dining table and sits adjacent to the KITCHEN. Fitted with a range of base and wall units with single drainer sink unit and including an oven with electric hob and extractor fan over. Space for a fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing-machine. There are two double bedrooms: the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM has twin built-in wardrobes and BEDROOM TWO is equally useful as a study if preferred. The BATHROOM has a panelled bath with shower over, WC, and wash-hand basin.

There is also use of the RESIDENTS' LOUNGE.

Outside
The communal garden enjoys a predominantly south-westerly facing aspect, so a particularly sunny spot to enjoy sitting out.

There is also parking for residents and visitors and, with a car park just up the road alongside the market, there is ample room if at any time further space is needed for visitors.

Location
This development sits perfectly placed for being right in the heart of Dorchester with so many amenities all virtually on your doorstep. Brewery Square is just up the road and is a vibrant, stylish shopping, eating and leisure complex with a varied selection of eateries, both classic and independent stores, together with the cinema, NHS Health centre and pharmacy. The railway station is also very close to hand as is the weekly market. Dorchester itself is steeped in history with some of the county’s most noted architecture, and provides further shopping facilities, arts centre, wonderful museums, and additional restaurants. The town also has its own county hospital. The famous Jurassic Coast World Heritage site – a simply stunning coastline is just a few miles away.

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 4, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on October 7, 2016 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
