Culliford Road North, Dorchester, DT1 1US

Culliford Court offers a warm, welcoming place to call home, with just 46 self-contained one and two-bedroom retirement apartments designed for those aged 55 and over.

Built by McCarthy & Stone in 2006/07, the development is all about peace of mind, comfort and independence. Set within beautifully maintained communal gardens and close to Dorchester’s many amenities, it’s a lovely blend of convenience and community.

Residents enter via an entry phone system into the friendly residents’ lounge — a relaxed social hub with its own kitchen. It’s a great spot for meeting friends, hosting family, or joining in with the organised events. Community life here is wonderfully flexible: you can get involved as much or as little as you wish.

This particular apartment sits quietly at the back of the building with lovely views over the well-kept gardens and has a modern, fresh feel throughout. The front door opens into an inviting entrance hall leading to a bright sitting/dining room, where a large window overlooks the gardens and fills the space with natural light. The cosy reception room features an electric fireplace and comfortably accommodates a dining table and chairs.

Twin glazed doors open through to the kitchen, where another garden-view window brings in plenty of light. The kitchen is well fitted with a good range of cupboards, generous worktop space, and AEG™ integrated appliances including an electric hob with hood and an electric oven. 

The bedroom also enjoys outlooks over the communal gardens and includes built-in wardrobes offering excellent storage, along with an electric heater, telephone point, TV aerial socket and an emergency pull cord. The shower room is well presented, with a white suite comprising a concealed cistern W.C., a vanity unit with wash basin, and a large shower cubicle.

Outside
Alongside the Residents’ Lounge, there is a fully equipped laundry room for residents’ use, and a guest suite (bookable by reservation) for visiting friends or family. The landscaped gardens include seating areas, mature planting and well-kept lawns — a lovely space for residents and their guests to enjoy.

Location
Culliford Court sits on a charming tree-lined road in the county town of Dorchester, nestled within generous communal gardens and close to everyday amenities.

The property is in a favoured residential area near the town centre, with an excellent range of shops, restaurants, leisure facilities and services all within easy reach. Brewery Square offers a vibrant mix of cafés, dining, shops and a cinema. Dorset County Hospital is nearby, and both Dorchester South and Dorchester West stations provide mainline links to London Waterloo and Bristol Temple Meads.

A major supermarket and Retail Park are within walking distance, and there is easy access to countryside walks and the green spaces of South Walks.
