This well-presented lower-ground retirement apartment sits within Culliford Court’s attractive communal gardens, a short level walk from Dorchester town centre and Brewery Square. Newly decorated with new carpets and an EPC B rating, the apartment offers comfortable one-bedroom living with views over landscaped grounds — suitable for a single occupant or couple seeking convenience and community.
Culliford Court is a purpose-built retirement development with a resident manager, 24-hour Careline alarm, lift, communal lounge, laundry, guest suite and organised social activities. The development also offers a residential parking permit, well-maintained grounds and step-free access throughout, making day-to-day living straightforward and sociable for those 55+.
Buyers should note the running costs and some practical considerations: a above-average service charge of £4,198.86 per year and a small ground rent of £250 per year; heating is by electric storage heaters; and the apartment occupies a lower-ground floor position, which can mean reduced natural light. The lease is long (125-year term stated) but remaining years are reported variably — prospective purchasers should verify the current lease length and all service costs prior to offer.
