Casterbridge Court is proving to be very popular, with 70% of apartments already sold! Call us today to book your one-to-one tour of this stunning development. 

At our Retirement Living development, Casterbridge Court, you can own your own apartment just minutes from this bustling market town centre. Having first been settled in prehistoric times, Dorchester has a fascinating history, with some of the country’s best preserved Roman ruins. 

Casterbridge Court consists of 44 apartments, with both one and two bedroom apartments available. Its beautiful design combines seamlessly with practicality to make your life easier, from ample storage to raised sockets and appliances. Some apartments have their own balconies where you can enjoy the peace and serenity of your own space. For socialising with your fellow homeowners, there is a cosy communal lounge as well as wonderfully landscaped gardens.

Safety, security and accessibility are of utmost importance to us. If you have an issue, the House Manager will be available during office hours and there’ll be a 24/7 call system for emergencies. A camera entry system ensures security throughout the development, and lifts to all floors makes the development fully accessibly to all.

A wealth of amenities sit on the doorstep of Casterbridge Court. Within a 15-minute walk you can reach the local supermarket, medical centre, pharmacy, fitness centre and library, as well as various banks, shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. The town is also served by a great bus service, as well as two train stations.

McCarthy & Stone Management Services (MSMS) are responsible for looking after our Lifestyle Living and Retirement Living developments, the grounds and services that together make up your new home.

MSMS provide and maintain the emergency-call system, intruder alarm and door camera entry. They also take care of gardening and general upkeep of the outside of the development and all shared areas.

In our Retirement Living schemes, these services include a friendly House Manager, on hand during office hours in the week (which may vary), to take care of the day-to-day running of the development. They can also arrange social events, and our residents choose whether or not to get involved with these.
