Summary - Somerleigh Road, Dorchester DT1 1AG
2 bed 2 bath Ground Flat
Comfortable low-maintenance living with on-site care and social amenities.
Ground-floor flat with very short walk from building entrance
This ground-floor two-bedroom flat in Somerleigh Road sits within the managed Somerleigh Court Village, offering low‑maintenance living close to Dorchester town centre. The master bedroom includes an en‑suite and the layout features a spacious lounge-diner and separate fitted kitchen — practical for everyday living or for hosting visiting family. Communal facilities include two resident lounges, a library, social events and on‑site care options, making the building suitable for those seeking an active, supported retirement environment.
The property is particularly accessible: the flat is a short walk from the building entrance and benefits from an enclosed communal garden and resident/visitor permit parking. Its construction date and double glazing indicate relatively modern building standards and conventional gas central heating with boiler and radiators.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the property is leasehold, with a high annual service charge (£7,668) and potential additional leasehold costs. Broadband speeds are slow and the recorded local crime level is very high, which may concern prospective purchasers or affect rental demand. There is no flood risk and the apartment’s practical two-bathroom layout could appeal to investors or downsizers wanting separate facilities for guests.
Overall, this flat suits purchasers who prioritise on‑site amenities, accessibility and communal support over private outdoor space and low running costs. It represents a convenient, low‑maintenance option in central Dorchester but carries higher service charges and some local-area challenges that buyers should factor into affordability and security considerations.
