Summary - 2 Bowes Lyon Court, 2, Bowes Lyon Place, Poundbury, DORCHESTER DT1 3DA
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Top-floor two-bedroom with full-width balcony and modern fittings.
Two double bedrooms both with direct balcony access
This top-floor retirement apartment in Bowes Lyon Court offers comfortable, low-maintenance living in the heart of Poundbury. Two double bedrooms both open onto a full-width private balcony with courtyard and countryside glimpses — ideal for morning coffee or fresh air. The bright living/dining room and contemporary kitchen with integrated Neff appliances make day-to-day life straightforward and modern.
Practical comforts include underfloor heating (part of the community scheme), mobility scooter charging, lift access, and one hour of domestic cleaning per week. The master bedroom features a large walk-in wardrobe; a stylish wet room plus a separate cloakroom WC provides convenience for residents and visitors. Secure underground parking and a storage cage add practical value.
Important considerations: the apartment is leasehold (116 years remaining) and will be sold at auction via Secure Sale — specific terms and conditions apply. The annual service charge is high (£11,886) and the ground rent is £510 per year; Council Tax sits at Band E. These ongoing costs are significant for budgeting and should be factored into any purchase decision.
The development is aimed at over-70s and provides on-site facilities including a restaurant, residents’ lounge, library, function room, guest suite, and 24/7 estate support. This property suits buyers seeking a secure, sociable retirement setting with modern finishes, but buyers must be comfortable with the leasehold/auction route and elevated running costs.
