Summary - Flat 4, The Old Rectory, Somerleigh Road, DORCHESTER DT1 1PD
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Private patio, parking and modern finish beside Dorchester town centre.
Ground-floor one-bedroom apartment, approximately 600 sq ft
Set within a handsome Grade II listed former rectory, this ground-floor one-bedroom apartment blends period character with contemporary finishes. The open-plan living area is bright and spacious, with glazed French doors that open onto a private, low-maintenance patio garden and direct access to the allocated off-street parking space.
Converted in 2017 and finished to a modern standard, the apartment benefits from gas central heating, ultrafast broadband and a largely level layout ideal for easy living. The fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances and useful storage, while the double bedroom and shower room are neatly presented for immediate occupation or letting.
Practical costs and tenure are straightforward: a 117-year lease remaining, modest ground rent and a biannual service charge covering communal maintenance. Buyers should note the building’s listed status and conservation area location, which can restrict external alterations and may require specialist consent for some works.
This property will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low‑maintenance town-centre base with character features close to Dorchester’s shops, parks and transport links. Be mindful that the local area records higher crime and some deprivation, which may be relevant to lifestyle or lettability decisions.
