For Sale3 Bedroom Apartment in Royal Pavilion, Pavilion Green, Poundbury, Dorchester, DT1£1,650,000

A superb penthouse apartment in Poundbury’s premier residential building with fantastic, uninterrupted views of the unspoilt, beautiful, Dorset countryside The Royal Pavilion is undoubtedly one of the most impressive buildings in the South of England and stands on the northern side of Queen Mother Square, the epicentre of the visionary Poundbury community. It is also the tallest building in Dorchester. Apartment 18 is on the building’s third and highest floor on its northern side, which means it stays cool in summer and has gorgeous, uninterrupted views of the beautiful countryside to north of the town all the year round. The Pavilion boasts a classically designed exterior that is reminiscent of the finest Georgian architecture of the late 18th /early 19th centuries. The apartment has high ceilings along with tall, floor to ceiling windows that impart a wonderful feeling of light and space throughout. It has also been finished to an exceptional standard and incorporates a deep, wide balcony with a stone balustrade that can be accessed directly from several rooms including the sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room and two of the three bedrooms. The principal bedroom has its own balcony with equally, impressive views. The apartment has an entrance hall alongside a cosy study that has a Juliet balcony overlooking the quadrangle at the centre of the building. Beyond it is the elegant, walk-through dining room, which has doors off leading to the rest of the apartment. The sitting room is wonderfully light with floor to ceiling windows on two sides with far-reaching views over Poundbury and the surrounding countryside plus French windows on a third side that open to the balcony. Double doors open through to the adjacent kitchen/breakfast room, which has a marble-tiled floor and three sets of French windows opening onto the balcony. It is fully fitted with light sage coloured units including a substantial, central island and a comprehensive range of built-in Miele appliances including separate, full height freezer and fridge, two ovens, an induction hob and an under-counter wine cooler. The apartment has three ensuite double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom suite located off one side of the dining room and the other two off a long corridor that overlooks the quadrangle. The principal bedroom suite incorporates an entrance lobby and walk-through dressing room that leads to the ensuite bath and shower room. Unsurprisingly the bath takes full advantage of the view.
