A spacious two-double-bedroom retirement apartment on the first floor of Culliford Court, offered with no onward chain. The apartment delivers a large open-plan living/dining room, a bay-fronted kitchen with integrated appliances, and a double walk-in shower — comfortable accommodation suited to over-55s wanting easy access to Dorchester town centre and well-kept communal gardens.
The block offers communal facilities that add convenience and sociability: a lounge, laundry room and option to park off-road. The apartment benefits from double glazing installed post-2002, decent room proportions and a long lease (106 years remaining), making it straightforward for buyers concerned about lease length.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement property with an average ground rent of £460 and potential additional service or leasehold pack fees. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central gas system, which may mean higher running costs. The flat is on the first floor, so there are stairs to consider.
Overall, this practical, low-maintenance apartment will suit downsizers or retirees seeking a social, central Dorchester location and ready-to-move-in accommodation, provided they are comfortable with leasehold arrangements and electric heating.
