A bright, south-facing two-bedroom apartment set on the first floor of Hascombe Court, positioned in the heart of Dorchester. The open-plan living/dining room and two double bedrooms look onto well-kept communal gardens, and the principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes. The layout is practical for everyday living and the property is offered chain-free.
Hascombe Court is a close-care retirement development with bespoke care packages, optional daily assistance, on-site nursing facilities and 24-hour emergency response. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, landscaped gardens, guest suites and regular organised activities — suitable for buyers seeking independent living with support available.
Practical details matter: the lease has 126 years remaining and heating is gas-fired with radiators. There is off‑street parking for residents and visitors. The apartment is centrally located within walking distance of Dorchester’s shops, Brewery Square leisure options and both train stations for connections to London and Bristol.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: the annual service charge is substantial at £7,668 (paid monthly), broadband speeds are reported slow and the local recorded crime level is very high. The area is described as deprived, which may affect resale and insurance considerations. These points should be weighed against the convenience and on-site care services when assessing suitability.
