Property description & features

  • Tenure: Share of freehold (990 years remaining)
  • Elegant town centre apartment
  • Parking and communal garden
  • Grade II listed Georgian property
  • Character period detailing
  • Moments from Borough Gardens
Part of the elegant ‘Wadham House’ development – a grade 2 Listed Townhouse which has been cleverly and sympathetically converted into five, stylish and individual apartments together with one cottage.

This original Georgian Townhouse, built in the early 1800’s has all the panache and style of the period, with deep sash pane windows, fanlights, iron balustrading and high ceilings. An elegant communal reception hall provides an imposing entrance, with a low-rising staircase leading to the first floor where this generously proportioned apartment is located.

The welcoming ENTRANCE HALL with doors to all rooms also has a generous built-in cupboard. The original grand drawing room now provides a particularly appealing OPEN PLAN KITCHEN with DINING/SITTING ROOM. Notably bright and airy courtesy of three large south-facing sash windows overlooking High West Street. On a practical note, the kitchen area has been thoughtfully designed to accommodate the ample storage units with food preparation work surfaces; integral appliances include an oven, halogen hob, with fume hood over, and refrigerator/freezer. An Island unit provides still further storage. Readily able to accommodate a sizeable table and chairs for entertaining, the sitting room area is centred around the retained period fireplace (now sealed) providing a timeless and elegant focal point.

Located to the rear of this elegant apartment are the TWO BEDROOMS, again with high ceilings and sash windows. Concluding the elegant accomodation and serving the two bedrooms is the spacious contemporary SHOWER ROOM. The suite comprising walk-in shower cubicle, wash hand basin together with a WC.

Offered with no forward chain.

Outside
There is access to the communal garden which lies to the rear where there is also the prized advantage of PRIVATE PARKING with one designated space to the apartment. There is also visitor parking.

At the top of High West Street and within easy walking distance are the Borough Gardens, with bowling green, tennis courts, and the bandstand.

Location
Perfectly located, situated in the very heart of the County Town. Dorchester, which is steeped in history and enjoys some of the county’s most noted period architecture – is represented well by the elegant style of Wadham House. With easy access to wide-ranging amenities including mainline rail link to London/Waterloo, county hospital, cinema, arts centre, museums, wine bars and schools. Sporting facilities include golf at Came Down and sailing at Weymouth and Portland. The famous Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site a simply stunning coastline, is just a few miles away.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on April 7, 2022

    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: obtained from Ofcom on April 7, 2022

    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
