Welcome to 5, Tilia House, an exquisite TWO BEDROOM 2nd floor apartment nestled within this imposing Edwardian house, which was converted into apartments in 2017.
Tilia House is situated on one of Dorchester's premier addresses, the sought-after Queens Avenue, which is close to the centre of town with all its amenities.
This stylish residence is part of a collection of six exceptional apartments, each thoughtfully designed to blend modern living with timeless elegance.
Upon entering through the impressive arched entrance of the newly designed inner courtyard, you are greeted by a grand communal area. The apartments are arranged over three floors, accessible via a passenger lift or a graceful central stairway that leads to the first floor, before splitting into elegant twin staircases to the upper levels.
Step into the spacious ENTRANCE HALL of Apartment 5, where you will find a convenient and discreetly positioned CLOAKROOM, perfect for guests. The welcoming space in this property sets the tone for the rest of the apartment, combining functionality with style.
The light-filled SITTING / DINING ROOM seamlessly connects to a striking curved balcony opening onto the tree-lined avenue. The SITTING ROOM is designed for comfort and style, with ample room for both dining and relaxing. Postioned off the sitting room, there is a useful storage cupboard.
The modern KITCHEN is a chef's delight, featuring high-quality appliances, sleek cabinetry with soft close doors, and plenty of counter space for culinary creations. Whether you are preparing a quick breakfast or a gourmet dinner, this kitchen caters to all your needs with its state-of-the-art fittings and contemporary design. Integrated Bosch appliances include a single oven and microwave, a ceramic hob with extractor over, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washer/dryer.
The apartment boasts two well-proportioned BEDROOMS, each offering a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM with eaves storage, benefits from large windows that flood the room with natural light and has a fully tiled ENSUITE BATHROOM, fitted with elegant fixtures and finishes to include a panelled bath with screened shower over, vanity basin with drawers beneath, W.C. and heated towel rail. The SECOND BEDROOM is equally inviting and versatile, perfect for guests or a home office, and comes with its own ENSUITE SHOWER ROOM with double length cubicle, vanity basin with drawers beneath, W.C. and heated towel rail.
Adding to the allure of this apartment is a MEZZANINE STUDY, accessible via an internal spiral staircase. This elevated space is ideal for working from home or indulging in a quiet reading nook. Overlooking the living area, the mezzanine study is both practical and inspiring, making it a standout feature of the property.
On a practical note, the kitchen, bathrooms and cloakroom have electric underfloor heating.
