Summary - 26 MOUNTAIN ASH ROAD DORCHESTER DT1 2PB
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact two-bedroom requiring modernisation, ideal for DIY investors or first-time buyers.
Chain-free ground-floor apartment, approx. 536 sq ft
A ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in central Dorchester, offered chain-free and ready for refurbishment. The flat occupies about 536 sq ft and sits close to the town centre, Brewery Square and local amenities, making it a convenient city-base or rental opportunity. The layout includes a generous principal bedroom with bay window, a reception room with wood burning stove and French doors to a south-facing courtyard, a second bedroom/study, kitchen and wet room.
Practical details important to buyers: the lease effectively has 60 years remaining from the 1986 base, with a £10 annual rent, a 50% share of ad-hoc communal maintenance and a 50% charge for building insurance. Mortgage lenders are likely to be restrictive with the remaining lease length, so purchasers should check finance options and potential lease extension costs before committing. EPC rating D; mains gas boiler and radiators present.
The property requires modernisation throughout, which is reflected in the price and presents scope to add value through improvements. Broadband and mobile signals are good and there is a carport accessed via a shared drive. Note the area records above-average crime statistics; prospective buyers should check local crime data and security needs.
This compact apartment will suit a first-time buyer comfortable with a renovation project or an investor targeting central Dorchester rental demand, provided lease-length and lending implications are resolved in advance.
