This sole penthouse occupies the entire sixth floor of The Cooperage, offering exceptional privacy, light and uninterrupted 180° views across Dorchester to surrounding countryside. A sweeping, west-facing living room with floor-to-ceiling glazing opens via six doors onto a distinctive 1,110 ft² decked terrace — ideal for daytime sun, entertaining or quiet evening views over the town.
Accommodation is generously proportioned across about 2,174 ft², with a large circular open-plan living/kitchen, three double bedrooms and three bathrooms. The principal and guest suites both include ensuite wet rooms and built-in storage; the third bedroom is currently fitted as a home office. Tall ceilings, engineered oak floors and high-spec kitchen appliances underpin the apartment’s contemporary, well-finished character.
Practical features suit comfortable, low-stairs living: secure communal entry, two lifts (one coded to open directly into the apartment), and direct access to the underground garage with two adjacent parking spaces, power sockets and private stores. The building sits in Brewery Square, close to shops, cinema, Waitrose and Dorchester South station — convenient for services and occasional travel.
Important facts to note: the property is leasehold with about 193 years remaining, a higher-than-average service charge (£6,000 pa) and ground rent (£350 pa). Council tax is described as expensive. The immediate area scores as relatively deprived and local crime levels are above average, which may concern some buyers despite the secure, gated-style communal parking and internal building security.
