The Town House

About this property

Nestled in the heart of Dorchester, overlooking the county museum and historic Highstreet, is this charming dwelling, The The Town House. Dating back over 500 years, The Town House welcomes families and friends looking for a central location in this bustling town, with easy access to pubs, restaurants, shops and attractions. Internally, the property is set over three floors and enjoys two sought-after off-road parking spaces. The ground floor is comprised of a small entrance lobby, while the first floor offers the first of the bedrooms, with a sumptuous king-size bed. Continue to the second-floor to reach the main living quarter; the kitchen comes well-appointed with contemporary appliances and fittings, so you can easily prepare home-cooked dishes. Pop open a bottle of fizz and set the dining table for a feast, before loading up the dishwasher and heading to the sitting room for a TV catchup; large bay windows overlooking the town provide a quaint sitting spot for people watching. The top floor houses the final two bedrooms, including a king-size with en-suite shower and a twin, both neutrally presented with traditional features and furnishings to retain the age old feel of the building. Just opposite lies the Dorset Museum, which features exhibits on the history and culture of the area, while also nearby is Maiden Castle, a hillfort that is among the largest and most complex in Europe. Dorchester has two railway stations, and also connects with the Jurassic Coaster bus service, ideal for people who want to walk a section of the South West Coast Path. The town is home to a selection of pubs, restaurants and takeaways, so there’s plenty of choice when you don’t feel like cooking. Take off to the seaside town of Weymouth, offering a number of attractions, including the SEA LIFE Centre Weymouth, Weymouth Harbour and Sandworld Weymouth. Enjoying a central position in the county town of Dorset, The Town House promises a holiday full of interest and adventure.

Without seeing the market town of Dorchester, with its Roman roads, museums, and variety of pubs and restaurants, a journey to Dorset would not be complete. Visit the County Museum, which contains a display dedicated to Thomas Hardy, who was born only two miles away in Bockhampton, and take a lovely walk around Maiden Castle, the biggest hillfort in England. Weymouth's beautiful beaches and harbour are only seven miles away, as are Portland's mountainous peninsula, which is connected to the mainland by Chesil Beach and is a part of the stunning World Heritage Coastline. In fact, you'll get so enchanted by Dorset's enchantment that you won't want to leave when your time is through!
