DETAILS OF TOWN HOUSES ARE AVAILABLE SEPARATELY. PLEASE ENQUIRE DIRECT.

Outside
An archway provides the main entrance into West Mews, with PARKING SPACES for each of the properties on site (with the exception of Apartment 1). There is also the benefit of a large public car park at the top of High West Street just “a stone’s throw” away.

Unusually for central Dorchester, two of the apartments have an extensive outside space in the form of a terrace or balcony. The townhouses (further details on application) have a rear yard, with the exception of No. 6, which has its own private courtyard garden.

Views across to Borough Gardens can be enjoyed from many of the properties depending upon position within the development.

Location
Dorchester is a vibrant town for both sightseeing and shopping. West Mews is perfectly positioned for enjoying all it has to offer as well as the beautifully-maintained, Victorian Borough Gardens, which have a central bandstand in memoriam of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, an elegant fountain, tennis courts, refreshments stand and play area.

With one foot in the past and the other firmly in the future, Dorchester boasts some of the country’s best-preserved Roman ruins just moments away from a thriving high street, and an exciting retail and residential redevelopment at Brewery Square. Dorchester is also fortunate in having its own impressive county museum; leafy riverside walks near the town centre; heritage trails through the town's shops and cafes; and one of Europe’s largest Iron Age forts, Maiden Castle. There is a traditional weekly market, and you'll find a number of top-quality chain and independent stores plus a wide range of services. There is also a lively music scene; two cinemas; an arts centre; a range of markets and festivals and associations representing every interest. Dorchester is, of course, also noted for its connection to Thomas Hardy.

On a practical note, there is a regular local bus service within a few steps of West Mews, direct rail access to London and Bristol via Dorchester's two train stations (both within walking distance), and the county hospital is about half a mile away.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    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

    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
