Strathmore House is located on its central square, Queen Mother Square, with easy access to all the amenities including independent shopping facilities, a Monart luxury spa, Waitrose, beauty salons, hairdressers, dentists, medical centre, vet, garden centre and the highly regarded Damers First School. The Great Field is a short walk away and offers a wonderful open space and the Dorset County Hospital is also nearby. Additionally, there is an electric bus into Dorchester every 30 minutes. Wider afield, the Jurassic Coast and the market towns of Sherborne, Beaminster and Bridport are all within easy reach. Small Dorset villages, many with excellent pubs, National Trust houses, a plethora of established footpaths, and ancient monuments means there is plenty to do and see.
