A spacious, ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Hascombe Court, designed for independent retirement living close to Dorchester town centre. The apartment offers easy access with level thresholds, a lift in the communal entrance, and off-street resident and visitor parking — practical for everyday life and visitors.
Hascombe Court is an exclusive over-65s development with on-site nursing facilities, 24-hour emergency response and optional, customisable care packages (daily visits, laundry, cleaning and guest suites). The flat benefits from a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, double glazing, gas central heating and a recently installed boiler (Dec 2021) still under warranty.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold (125 years remaining) and is sold chain-free, which simplifies moving. Service charges are substantial (£5,628 per year) but cover emergency response, communal maintenance and activities. Broadband speeds are reported slow and the local area records high crime and relative deprivation; prospective buyers should check local services and personal safety arrangements.
This apartment suits someone seeking a town-centre retirement base with optional care support and communal social facilities. It combines practical accessibility and a central location with clear running costs and local-area factors to weigh before viewing.
