This ground-floor, two-bedroom apartment in Casterbridge Court sits in an exclusive over-55s development minutes from Dorchester town centre. The bright living room opens onto a private balcony overlooking well-kept communal gardens, and the principal bedroom includes an en-suite and walk-in wardrobe — convenient, low-maintenance living for downsizers.
Practical features include triple glazing, integrated kitchen appliances, utility cupboard with washer/dryer, an electric boiler and an emergency 24/7 careline. The development provides communal lounge, monitored fire alarms, lifts, secure entry with video intercom and covered maintenance of grounds and building exterior.
The property is offered via shared ownership (50% share available) with rent payable on the unsold half; the remaining 50% can also be purchased from the developer. The long lease (996 years remaining) and included buildings insurance are positives, but the service charge is substantial at £4,614.97 per year and there is a separate parking purchase if required.
Buyers should note mixed flood-risk notes in the paperwork and that the wider area records relative deprivation; crime is average. Broadband and mobile coverage are excellent, making the apartment well suited to those who value connectivity alongside retirement-focused support.
