Summary - FLAT 5, PHOENIX HOUSE, 16 HIGH EAST STREET DT1 1HH
3 bed 1 bath Flat
Characterful three-bedroom flat with 999-year lease and no onward chain.
Grade II listed apartment over two floors
Set over two floors in a Grade II listed townhouse on High East Street, this three-bedroom apartment offers generous period character and flexible living across approximately 862 sq ft. The property benefits from a newly granted 999-year lease and is offered with no onward chain, making it a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or an investor seeking central Dorchester stock.
Interior highlights include a light-filled open-plan living/kitchen area with exposed brick and wood flooring alongside high ceilings and bay-window character to the façade. The layout places the master bedroom and family bathroom on the first floor, with two further bedrooms and landing living/office space above — practical for sharers, small families or rental occupancy.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building’s listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate works or conversions; walls are solid brick with assumed lack of insulation; and a service charge around £1,405pa applies. Parking at the rear is available on a first-come basis rather than a dedicated space. Local area indicators show higher crime levels and wider area deprivation, which may affect long-term rental yields and resale pricing.
Overall, this property suits someone prioritising character, central convenience and long-lease security over modern finishes. It presents clear potential to add value through sympathetic refurbishment (subject to listed-building restrictions) or to hold as a centrally located rental with immediate occupancy possibilities due to no forward chain.
