Summary - 1 Stratton House, 59-60 High West Street DT1 1UY
2 bed 2 bath Duplex
Elegant Georgian maisonette with parking, long lease and courtyard garden..
Large 1,174 sq ft two-bedroom duplex in town centre
A spacious, period ground-and-first-floor maisonette in the heart of Dorchester, Stratton House blends Georgian elegance with contemporary fittings. High ceilings, original fireplaces and a grand communal entrance give the apartment strong character and a welcoming sense of history. The open-plan kitchen/sitting room with exposed beams and integrated appliances provides a bright, practical living space, while two bathrooms and generous room sizes suit family living or sharers.
Practical benefits include a very long lease (996 years) with a share of freehold, no onward chain, an allocated off-street parking space, designated cellar storage and direct access to the large communal courtyard garden. These features, combined with convenient town-centre location and direct rail links, make the property appealing to buyers seeking central convenience and long-term ownership security.
Buyers should note some material considerations: the building is of solid brick construction likely without cavity insulation, heating is electric (boiler and radiators listed as electric), and the communal service charge averages around £3,000 per year. The local area has higher crime levels and is classified as relatively deprived, which will be relevant for families and investors assessing rental prospects or resale.
Overall, the maisonette suits purchasers who value period character and central convenience and who are comfortable with ongoing service charges and the practical realities of an older, solid-wall building. Sensitively refurbished interiors and strong leasehold security make it a compelling option for those prioritising location and architectural charm.
