Welcome to 15 Stratton House, an exquisite two-bedroom apartment nestled on the upper floor of a distinguished Grade II listed building, right in the heart of Dorchester. Originally constructed for the widow of the 6th Earl of Shaftesbury, Stratton House is now a captivating collection of residences, each offering a unique living experience that harmoniously blends historical allure with contemporary conveniences.
As you step inside, the hallway serves as the central hub, with doors leading to the two bedrooms, the kitchen/sitting room, and the bathroom. Practicality is key, with an airing cupboard discreetly housing the hot water cylinder and immersion heater.
The open-plan LIVING AREA, a seamless fusion of the kitchen and sitting room, embodies the essence of modern living. Flooded with natural light through two windows, this inviting space is perfect for both relaxation and socialising.
The KITCHEN is thoughtfully designed with a range of modern wall-mounted and floor-based units, complemented by elegant solid wood countertops. A peninsula extends to provide additional preparation space and doubles as a breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include a single electric oven, ceramic hob with an extractor fan, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washer/dryer.
The SITTING ROOM AREA comfortably accommodates soft furnishings and a small table for more formal dining occasions.
The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM, accessible through double doors from the sitting room and a return door to the hall, offers a well-proportioned and versatile space, ideal as a main double bedroom.
BEDROOM TWO is equally inviting, providing a cosy retreat.
Completing the well-presented accommodation is the spacious BATHROOM, featuring a contemporary four-piece suite with a panelled bath, pedestal wash hand basin, separate walk-in shower with both rainfall and hand shower attachments, and a WC.
Adding to the practicality, the apartment includes a designated storage unit located in the cellar. More than just a residence, 15 Stratton House offers a lifestyle choice, seamlessly blending historic elegance with modern comfort, creating a home that is both timeless and contemporary.
