About Charminster St Mary's
Charminster St Mary's is a quiet, family-friendly neighbourhood where crime's on the way down and the air quality is good. You've got a proper local school right here, which is a real bonus if you've got kids.
House prices are mid to upper range for the Dorchester area. Detached and terraced homes cost more, but flats give you a cheaper way in if you're looking to get on the property ladder.
Day-to-day shops and services are thin on the ground locally, so you'll need to travel for most things. The same goes for healthcare and public transport — you'll be heading out of the neighbourhood for both. A car makes life easier here.
The A35 keeps you well connected to the wider region, so you're not cut off. Nearly a third of residents work from home, which tells you something about who lives here — people who want a settled, semi-rural base but don't want to lose touch with what Dorchester has to offer.
