A newly decorated, modern two-bedroom top-floor apartment, ideally situated in the heart of Dorchester town centre and benefiting from allocated off-street parking.
The Dwelling
This modern second-floor apartment occupies the entire top floor of a building comprising just three apartments. Built of brick under a tiled roof, the property is tucked away in a quiet yet highly central location in Dorchester, just a stone’s throw from the town centre and its excellent range of shops, cafés, restaurants, and amenities.
Recently redecorated throughout, the apartment benefits from double glazing, gas central heating, and an allocated off-street parking space.
Accommodation
The well-designed layout places both bedrooms at the rear of the apartment, while the main living areas are at the front, making the most of the rooftop views and a desirable southerly aspect. The result is a bright and welcoming space, filled with natural light throughout the day—even on the dullest days.
The main sitting room is generously proportioned and features a large Velux skylight, maximising natural light and offering attractive rooftop views. A gas point and concealed recess are in place should the addition of a fireplace be desired.
The kitchen/breakfast room is well-equipped with ample storage, a built-in electric oven and gas hob, and space for a washing machine and tall fridge/freezer. A wall-mounted gas central heating boiler is also housed here.
The principal bedroom is a spacious double, while the second bedroom also comfortably accommodates a double bed. Both benefit from large Velux windows that enhance the sense of light and space.
The family bathroom includes a bathtub with shower over. An L-shaped landing provides access to a large loft, partially boarded and used exclusively by Apartment 3—offering excellent additional storage.
Outside
To the rear of the property is an allocated off-street parking space.
Situation
The property enjoys a highly convenient location in the heart of the county town of Dorchester, just a short walk from the Borough Gardens and the main shopping streets, which offer a wide range of shops, cafés, and restaurants all within easy reach. The vibrant Brewery Square development further enhances the town’s appeal, with additional dining options, boutique shops, and a cinema.
Dorchester also benefits from excellent leisure and sporting facilities, including rugby, football and cricket clubs, golf at Came Down, and sailing at nearby Weymouth and Portland. Dorset County Hospital is within easy walking distance, along with several well-regarded schools.
For commuters, Dorchester South and Dorchester West train stations provide direct services to London Waterloo and Bristol Temple Meads. There are also regular bus services to surrounding towns and villages, making Dorchester a well-connected and desirable location.
