Location

The property occupies an enviable position on Princes Street, right in the heart of Dorchester, Dorset's historic county town. The location is particularly attractive for those wishing to enjoy a lifestyle where many everyday amenities are accessible on foot.

Dorchester offers an excellent range of independent and national shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs and everyday services, with the central pedestrianised shopping areas and a number of historic streets and arcades providing a varied retail experience. Brewery Square, close to Dorchester South railway station, offers further shops, restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities.

For those seeking green open space, Borough Gardens and the surrounding Town Walks are close by, providing an attractive area for recreation and leisurely walks. Borough Gardens forms part of Dorchester's historic network of open spaces alongside the Town Walks.

Dorchester is well placed for access to the wider county, with road links towards Weymouth, Bridport, Sherborne, Yeovil and the A35, while the town benefits from both Dorchester South and Dorchester West railway stations, providing rail connections towards Weymouth, Poole, Bournemouth and London Waterloo.

Dorchester is also renowned for its rich Roman and literary heritage, being closely associated with Thomas Hardy and offering attractions including the Roman Town House, Dorset Museum & Art Gallery, Shire Hall Museum and Maumbury Rings.

Investment Opportunity

With its central town location, single-level accommodation, generous living space and one double bedroom, this property should prove attractive to a wide range of potential tenants. Its proximity to shops, transport links, amenities and Borough Gardens further enhances its rental appeal.
