Set within the heart of Poundbury, this EXCEPTIONAL THREE-BEDROOM PENTHOUSE APARTMENT forms part of the prestigious Strathmore House, an impressive classically inspired development designed by renowned architects Quinlan & Francis Terry.
Occupying a prime third-floor position, the apartment offers an enviable combination of elegant architecture, contemporary comfort and effortless day-to-day living. Beautifully presented throughout, the home is filled with natural light and enjoys a wonderful sense of space, with floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors opening onto roof terraces to the front, side and rear.
One of the standout features is the superb outdoor space. The roof terraces provide a rare opportunity to enjoy elevated views across Queen Mother Square and beyond, creating the perfect setting for morning coffee, relaxed lunches, evening drinks or entertaining friends during the warmer months. With west and southerly aspects, the apartment is particularly well placed to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun.
At the heart of the home is the spacious kitchen/dining room, a beautifully designed space that works equally well for everyday living and entertaining. Contemporary cabinetry, quartz work surfaces and a central island with solid oak worktop create a stylish yet practical environment, while integrated Bosch appliances add to the high-quality finish. There is ample room for a generous dining table, making this an ideal space for family meals, dinner parties or simply enjoying the outlook with the French doors open onto the terrace. A separate utility room keeps the practical side of life neatly tucked away.
The generous reception room offers a particularly inviting place to relax. Enjoying a triple aspect and featuring an attractive fireplace, it has a bright and airy feel throughout the day, while French doors provide a seamless connection with the west and south-facing terraces. Whether enjoying a quiet evening at home or hosting guests, this is a room that feels both elegant and comfortable.
There are three well-proportioned bedrooms, allowing excellent flexibility for visiting family, guests or those wishing to create a dedicated home office or hobby room. The principal bedroom provides a private retreat, enhanced by bespoke fitted furniture and luxurious en-suite facilities.
Entrance to Strathmore House is via a secure communal entrance opening into an impressive reception hall with a grand staircase, reflecting the quality and character of the building from the moment you arrive. Lift access to all floors adds further convenience, making the apartment particularly well suited to those looking for a low-maintenance lifestyle without compromising on space or quality.
The property also benefits from the exclusive right to use a private car port complete with an electric vehicle charging point.
The location is equally appealing. Queen Mother Square and Poundbury's excellent range of amenities are all within easy walking distance, allowing residents to enjoy cafés, restaurants, independent shops, Waitrose and the Duchess of Cornwall Inn without needing to get in the car. The Great Field is also close by, providing acres of open space for walking and recreation, while Dorchester town centre offers a wider range of shopping, leisure and cultural facilities together with mainline rail links to London Waterloo and Bristol.
For those seeking a home that combines luxury, convenience and a strong sense of community, this impressive penthouse offers a particularly attractive lifestyle in one of Poundbury's most desirable locations.
