Description

This thoughtfully arranged second floor apartment forms part of a well-regarded development for the over 65’s, offering a comfortable and practical living environment with lift access and a strong sense of community. The property benefits from its own private entrance porch, a useful and often overlooked feature, providing additional storage and a sense of separation before stepping into the main accommodation.

The SITTING ROOM is particularly well proportioned, offering an excellent space for both relaxation and entertaining. Double doors from the hall create a lovely sense of arrival, while the generous dimensions allow for both seating and dining arrangements if desired. Large windows draw in natural light and provide a pleasant outlook, making this a bright and comfortable room to enjoy throughout the day.

The KITCHEN is well fitted with a range of wall and floor mounted units with work surfaces over, to include a one and a half bowl stainless steel sink with side drainer and mixer tap over. Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer and single oven and there is space and plumbing for washing machine and slimline dishwasher. The layout is practical and well considered, making it easy to navigate and ideal for everyday use.

There are two bedrooms, both well-sized and thoughtfully arranged. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is a comfortable double room and benefits from built in wardrobes, offering excellent storage. The SECOND BEDROOM provides flexibility and could be used as a guest room, study, or hobby space depending on individual needs.

The SHOWER ROOM is fitted with a modern suite, including a shower enclosure, wash hand basin with a vanity unit under, heated towel rail, bidet and W.C. with fitted storage, all designed with ease of use in mind.

The apartment is double glazed throughout and benefits from gas fired central heating, ensuring comfort across the seasons.

The development itself is ideally located within Dorchester, placing a wide range of amenities within easy reach. Residents benefit from a secure entry system, on-site support, and a 24-hour emergency response service with nursing home on site, offering reassurance alongside independent living. Communal facilities include a resident’s lounge, dining area, coffee lounge, and library.

Overall, this is a well-balanced apartment offering space, practicality, and a supportive setting in a highly convenient location, ideal for those looking to enjoy independent living with added peace of mind.

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
