This compact one-bedroom semi-detached house on Buckingham Way offers low-maintenance, practical living in Dorchester’s very affluent DT1 area. As a freehold property with an allocated off-street parking space and a private paved garden, it suits a first-time buyer or downsizer seeking convenience close to town amenities.
Internally the layout is straightforward: a bright lounge with staircase and built-in storage, a modern fitted kitchen with integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher, a double bedroom and a functional family bathroom. The property is gas‑heated via a boiler and radiators, has double glazing and an EPC around C, keeping running costs reasonable; council tax is very cheap (Band A).
The plot and interior are modest in scale — rooms are small to average, and the garden is low‑maintenance rather than expansive. These factors make the house easy to manage but limit space for larger households. There is useful loft and airing-cupboard storage, plus access to a communal garden.
This home also works for investors: straightforward layout, good broadband and mobile signal, very low local crime and easy access to Dorchester town centre. Be aware the build dates (1983–1990) and older double glazing may present medium-term upgrade opportunities if you want to improve thermal performance or modernise finishes.
