This thoughtfully arranged second floor apartment forms part of a well-regarded development for the over 65's, offering a comfortable and practical living environment with lift access and a strong sense of community. The property benefits from its own private entrance vestibule, a useful and often overlooked feature, providing additional storage and a sense of separation before stepping into the main accommodation.
Once inside, the ENTRANCE HALL provides a welcoming introduction and acts as a central point to all principal rooms. There are useful storage cupboards which enhance everyday functionality and help keep the space uncluttered.
The SITTING ROOM is particularly well proportioned, offering an excellent space for both relaxation and entertaining. Double doors from the hall create a lovely sense of arrival, while the generous dimensions allow for both seating and dining arrangements if desired. Large windows draw in natural light and provide a pleasant outlook, making this a bright and comfortable room to enjoy throughout the day.
The KITCHEN is well fitted with a range of wall and floor mounted units with work surfaces over, to include a one and a half bowl stainless steel sink with side drainer and mixer tap over. Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer and single oven, and there is space and plumbing for a washing machine and slimline dishwasher. A breakfast bar provides a practical space for casual dining or entertaining, while two windows allow plenty of natural light to fill the room, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere. The layout is practical and well considered, making it easy to navigate and ideal for everyday use.
There are two bedrooms, both well-sized and thoughtfully arranged. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is a comfortable double room and benefits from built-in wardrobes, offering excellent storage. The SECOND BEDROOM also benefits from a fitted wardrobe and provides flexibility to be used as a guest room, study, or hobby space depending on individual needs.
The SHOWER ROOM is fitted with a modern suite, including a shower enclosure, wash hand basin with a vanity unit under, heated towel rail, bidet and W.C. with fitted storage, all designed with ease of use in mind.
The apartment is double glazed throughout and benefits from gas fired central heating, ensuring comfort across the seasons.
The development itself is ideally located within Dorchester, placing a wide range of amenities within easy reach. Residents benefit from a secure entry system, on-site support, and a 24-hour emergency response service with nursing home on site, offering reassurance alongside independent living. Communal facilities include a resident's lounge, dining area, coffee lounge, and library.
Overall, this is a well-balanced apartment offering space, practicality, and a supportive setting in a highly convenient location, ideal for those looking to enjoy independent living with added peace of mind.
Outside
Outside, the property benefits from well-maintained, landscaped communal grounds, thoughtfully designed to provide an attractive and welcoming environment for residents and their visitors. These areas include a variety of seating spaces, paved terraces and neatly kept surroundings, ideal for relaxing outdoors or socialising in warmer months. There are also allocated and visitor parking spaces available, offering added convenience and ease of access.
In addition, residents can enjoy a comfortable communal lounge, creating a sociable indoor space to meet with neighbours or entertain guests. This welcoming area is equipped with a coffee machine, allowing both residents and visitors to unwind, enjoy refreshments and relax in a pleasant and friendly setting.
