A deceptively spacious and immaculately presented GII listed three bedroom ground floor apartment situated in the heart of Dorchester Town Centre. Offered with no onward chain.

Stratton House is listed Grade II and understood to have been built circa 1883 for the Earl of Shaftesbury, having been designed by local architects G R Crickmay. More recently the property was owned and used by the Local Authority until its sale for the redevelopment of which this outstanding apartment forms part. Number 17 is a large (over 3000 sq ft) ground floor property with superb, light, well laid out accommodation, thoughtfully incorporating many of the fine period features within the original building, such as fireplaces, high ceilings, ornate architraves and plasterwork but with up to date modern conveniences including under floor heating to the three bathrooms, modern kitchen and bathroom units, LED lighting, cat 5 cabling and TV and telephone points in most rooms. The property has private access from High West Street, together with the use of the communal entrance hall and rear access to the communal outdoor space and private parking, of which two spaces are reserved for No 17. In addition to the apartment there is access to further useful storage space below ground in a cellar accessed via an electronically operated trap door.
