  • Allocated parking
  • Central Dorchester location
  • Principal en-suite
  • Character features
  • High specification
Superbly located right in the heart of Dorchester the Old Rectory once formed part of the original historic County Hospital, designed in Jacobean style by renowned architect Benjamin Ferry.

More recently, conversion of the building began in 2017, resulting in delightful apartments of great character, this stylish flat happily marries modern open plan living space with modern period features, glorious double height ceilings and windows, all with a contemporary finish.

Upon entering The Old Rectory through the substantial solid timber external door, the tone is immediately set with the traditional meeting both modern security and practicality. The pleasing and welcoming communal entrance hallway alludes to the historic past. Apartment three is accessed from the ground floor.

ENTRANCE HALL, a useful space for coats and shoes. The open plan KITCHEN/ DINING/ SITTING ROOM is a wonderful room with full height, gothic windows to one end. The KITCHEN is equipped with AEG™ appliances, including a dishwasher, washing machine, refridgerator / freezer, oven and induction hob. The remaining space is generous and quirky in equal measure, with a staircase leading from here, to the bedrooms on the lower-ground floor.

The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is a spacious double bedroom, with an integrated wardrobe, and benefits from a tastefully finished ENSUITE, complete with a double shower cubicle, W.C., hand-wash basin and heated towel rail. BEDROOM TWO is another double bedroom, which sits adjacent to the FAMILY BATHROOM, comprising a bath with shower over, W.C., hand-wash basin and heated towel rail.

Outside
Situated in the heart of the County Town this well presented apartment provides easy and ready access to the wealth of amenities Dorchester has to offer. There is allocated private parking space. The Old Rectory also has two additional visitor parking spaces.

Location
Dorchester amenities are plentiful, and Dorchester enjoys no less than eight museums, dialect trails through the town's shops and cafes, and one of Europe’s largest Iron Age forts (Maiden Castle). The town also has a lively cultural scene, two cinemas, an arts centre and a range of markets and festivals, together with clubs and associations representing every interest. Equally, there are superb transport connections, with Dorchester South railway station trailing a blaze to London and the south-east, and Dorchester West railway station taking you to Bristol and beyond. There is also a regular bus service within walking distance of The Old Rectory.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
