Property Oracle says ..
The property is located on Somerleigh Road in Dorchester, Dorset. Based on the provided images, the property appears to be a well-maintained apartment within a larger building. The interior is modern and in good condition. The apartment has two bedrooms and one bathroom. The property does not appear to have a garden or outdoor space, although there is allocated parking.
Dorchester is a historic market town with good transport links via Dorchester West and Dorchester South train stations, both within a short distance of the property. Several schools are within reasonable proximity, including Sunninghill Preparatory School, Dorchester Middle School, and St Mary’s Catholic First School. The town centre provides access to shops and amenities. The location score reflects the convenience of the town centre location and proximity to transport links and schools.
The average price per square foot in the area is £310. The property’s list price of £250,000, given its size of 460 square feet, results in a price per square foot of approximately £543. This is significantly higher than the area average. However, the property is located in a desirable area of Dorchester, in a renovated building, and includes allocated parking, which may justify the higher price per square foot compared to other properties in the area. The price score reflects this consideration.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
