High local crime rates and area deprivation — view with care
This Grade II listed duplex apartment sits moments from Dorchester’s town centre, offering a light, flexible 2-bedroom layout across two floors. The open-plan kitchen-living room and two full wet rooms give modern convenience within a characterful period building — ideal for first-time buyers or professionals wanting central living with parking.
The accommodation is well presented with exposed timber floors in the living area, solid stone worktops, integrated appliances and secondary glazing. The principal bedroom on the upper floor includes restricted head height and a Velux window; a second double and shower room sit on the lower level, creating clear separation between living and sleeping spaces.
Practical points to consider: the property is leasehold (share of freehold) with 121 years remaining and an annual service charge of around £1,600. Heating is electric via room heaters and there is no gas central heating. The Grade II listing brings charm but will restrict alterations and could complicate permissions and maintenance.
Location strengths include excellent broadband and mobile signal, allocated off-street parking and immediate access to shops, cafés and transport in the market town centre. However, local area indicators show higher crime and relative deprivation; buyers should weigh the town-centre convenience and rental potential against these local factors.
