Summary - High West Street, Dorchester, DT1 1UY DT1 1UY
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Large two-bedroom home with lift access and private parking.
Grade II* listed townhouse with high ceilings and sash windows
Set on High West Street, this second-floor apartment occupies 1,006 sqft within a distinguished Grade II* listed townhouse. The home blends high ceilings, large sash windows and a feature fireplace with contemporary fittings in the kitchen, bathroom and reception space. Two double bedrooms and generous living areas make it a comfortable choice for couples or small families seeking character and space in central Dorchester.
Practical benefits include lift access to all floors, a private off-street parking space, communal outside area and a secure basement storage cage. The long lease (990 years remaining) and share of freehold give long-term security. The location places shops, cafés, Brewery Square and rail links within easy walking distance, while local schools and hospital are nearby.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the building’s listed status may complicate alterations and repairs. Annual service charges are substantial (£3,741.68) and the area records very high crime levels and Local Area deprivation. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow, which could affect home working. These factors are important for budgeting and lifestyle decisions.
Overall, this apartment offers generous period proportions with modern conveniences, ideal for those who prioritise central location, character and long lease security, but it suits buyers prepared to accept listed-building constraints, higher running costs and local area challenges.
