Tucked away on the fourth floor of the prestigious Signature House in the heart of Dorchester’s vibrant Brewery Square, Apartment 42 is a thoughtfully designed two-bedroom home for modern comfort, elegant living, complete peace of mind and exclusively available to those aged 55 and over.

From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by a sense of calm and space. The wide ENTRANCE HALL complete with a convenient storage cupboard, sets the tone for a well-organised home. This leads you into an open-plan KITCHEN and SITTING ROOM, a versatile space that also accommodates a dining area, suitable for everyday meals and gatherings alike. Neutral tones create a warm, inviting atmosphere, while a door leads to a south-facing balcony, ideal for outdoor relaxation enjoying an open urban outlook, including glimpses of the historic railway station and countryside beyond, all adding character and interest to the view.

The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is spacious and serene, comfortably fitting a double-sized bed, and is complete with a private ensuite. This luxurious space includes a full-length bath, wash hand basin, bidet, wall-mounted towel radiator and W.C., providing a perfect blend of comfort and style. Both bedrooms are generously doubles, allowing for stand-alone wardrobes and additional bedroom furniture, offering flexibility in personalising your space. BEDROOM TWO is ideal for guests or as a home office, and is served by a separate shower room. This well-appointed space includes a walk-in shower with a grab handrail for added safety, a wash hand basin, W.C., and a wall-mounted towel radiator.

Every detail has been considered for convenience and peace of mind, including a secure entry system and emergency pull cords.

About DOMVS, Dorchester

The DOMVS Approach to Selling Property

We always start with a clear strategy. We take time to understand your home, the local market and buyer behaviour, ensuring pricing and positioning are right from the outset. Every step in the process is meticulously considered, from presentation and marketing through to negotiation and completion.

We get that no two homes are the same, and neither is the way they should be launched. We tailor the approach to suit the property, whether that is a full market launch, an ‘offers over’ strategy or a discreet introduction through our Whisper List. Our role is to generate the right level of interest and convert that into a successful sale.

Once a sale is agreed, our dedicated sales progression team works proactively with all parties to resolve issues early and maintain momentum. This combination of preparation, negotiation and progression is what protects your sale and delivers results.

Our approach is shaped by three core values: integrity, empathy and determination. We give clear, honest advice, understand the personal nature of moving, and remain focused on securing the strongest outcome for our clients.

Our Marketing

Every property benefits from professional photography, carefully written descriptions and, where appropriate, enhanced visuals such as drone footage or virtual staging. This is supported by our in-house marketing team, who deliver targeted campaigns designed to reach an engaged and relevant audience. Our sellers benefit from:

• A fully optimised website attracting an average of 20,500 visitors each month

• Targeted email and digital campaigns to a database of over 20,000 engaged subscribers

• Social media activity generating over 60,000 monthly views and thousands of website visits

• SEO-led campaigns and tailored landing pages designed to connect specific buyers with specific properties

• Access to national and local press opportunities

Our Network

As members of The Guild of Property Professionals and The Mayfair Office, we combine local expertise with national and international reach, including a presence in London. Our Dorset-wide team works collaboratively, sharing buyers across all offices and introducing properties to audiences beyond their immediate location.

Our Services

Our sales team is complemented by a dedicated lettings and property management team, providing a fully managed service designed to protect property investments and minimise day-to-day involvement. Our holiday lettings team also supports owners seeking an alternative income stream.

Our new homes team works closely with developers and buyers, offering guidance from initial launch through to successful sales, while our Land & Development consultancy advises on site acquisition, planning and value optimisation for both individual plots and larger opportunities.
