This one-bedroom apartment in Culliford Court offers practical, low-maintenance living designed for over-55s who value convenience and community. Positioned with direct access onto the communal garden, the flat feels more spacious than many nearby units and benefits from natural light through multiple windows. The development includes communal amenities, a residents’ lounge and onsite parking — useful extras for downsizers.
The layout is straightforward: a generous double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a bright lounge-diner with doors opening onto the garden, a compact fitted kitchen and a bathroom with a bath and shower. Safety and support features are already in place, including red cord emergency pulls linked to Appello Care and an automatic entrance door. Lift access makes the lower-level location easier to manage despite being on the lower ground floor.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement property with about 106 years remaining on the lease; additional leasehold-related fees (management/service and conveyancing/lease packs) may apply. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the glazing was installed prior to 2002, so running costs and future upgrade works should be factored in. Overall, this is a comfortable, manageable apartment that suits someone seeking a secure, community-focused retirement setting close to Dorchester town centre.
