The property is located on Somerleigh Road in Dorchester, Dorset. It’s a two-bedroom apartment with one bathroom, spanning 460 square feet. The list price is £240,000.

The apartment is situated in a convenient location, with Dorchester West train station only 0.49km away and Dorchester South station at 0.56km. Several schools are within a reasonable distance, including Sunninghill Preparatory School (0.76km), Dorchester Middle School (1.21km), and St Mary’s Catholic First School (1.25km). This proximity to transport links and schools is a positive factor.

Based on the images, the property appears to be in good condition. The interior is modern and well-maintained, with a recently updated kitchen and bathroom. The building itself is a period property, exhibiting traditional architectural features, which adds to its character. There is no evidence of the property needing renovation.

The property does not have a private garden, as indicated by the plot size of 0.00 sqft. However, the surrounding area appears to have access to green spaces, as seen in the photos of nearby parks and gardens.

Considering the average price per square foot in the area (£310) and the property’s size (460 sqft), a rough estimate of its value would be around £142,600. The list price of £240,000 is significantly higher than this estimate. Nearby comparable properties on Somerleigh Road range from £280,000 to £350,000, but these comparisons are limited by a lack of square footage data for these properties. The higher list price may be justified by the property’s location, condition, and the attractive period features of the building. However, the lack of outdoor space and the significant difference between the list price and the estimated value based on average sqft price should be considered.

Considering all factors, the property presents a mixed picture. Its location and condition are positive aspects, but the lack of outdoor space and the relatively high list price compared to the average price per square foot in the area are potential drawbacks.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
