Description
The Old Rectory is a distinguished historic building that once served as the residence for the clergy of the nearby parish church. Sympathetically converted into a collection of exclusive apartments, the building retains much of its original charm and architectural character while offering the comfort and convenience of modern living. Its attractive façade and mature surroundings create a unique setting that is rarely available.
Upon entering the apartment, you are welcomed by a spacious entrance hall complete with a useful storage cupboard, providing an excellent first impression and practical everyday storage. The accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to maximise both space and natural light throughout.
The generous master bedroom enjoys the added luxury of a private en-suite bathroom, while the second double bedroom offers versatile accommodation, ideal for guests, family members or those working from home. A stylish family bathroom features a contemporary walk-in shower.
The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan living and dining area, creating a superb space for both relaxing and entertaining. Slightly tucked away from the main reception area, the well-proportioned kitchen offers ample worktop space and storage, providing a practical yet sociable layout for modern living. Throughout the apartment, the windows have been enhanced with attractive contemporary shutters, adding both style and privacy while complementing the property's character.
Externally, the property benefits from an allocated parking space to the rear of the building, together with additional visitor parking spaces for family and friends.
Located just a short stroll from Dorchester's bustling town centre, residents can enjoy an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and supermarkets, alongside leisure facilities, parks and excellent transport links including two mainline railway stations. The apartment is perfectly positioned to enjoy everything the county town has to offer whilst residing in one of its most charming and historic buildings.
This exceptional apartment presents an ideal opportunity for professionals, downsizers, investors or those seeking a character home in a highly desirable central location.
