Dorset Place is a development in Ipoh with commercial and residential components, consisting of 2-storey shop offices, 2-storey link homes and semi-detached homes The 40 shop offices are built on 20’ by 70’ plots, along the front part of Dorset Place. As they face the main road of Persiaran Lapangan Perdana 1, they are easily visible. Their design is simple and modern, with wide doors and windows on the ground floor, smaller windows on the first floor to minimise heat loss, and a minimal colour scheme of grey and white. The residential portion of Dorset Place is gated and guarded, with 24-hour security surveillance, CCTV cameras and a perimeter brick wall for its residents’ peace of mind. It offers link homes and semi-detached homes, all with high ceilings, full-height tiles in the bathrooms and kitchens, spacious car porches and alarm systems. Dorset Place also incorporates green elements like a linear park bordering the development on two sides, and a recreation park with a field, half-size basketball court and playground near the homes, where residents can gather and mingle. The development has an accessible location, approximately a 5-minute drive to the main road of Jalan Raja Dr. Nazrin Shah, and just about 15 minutes from the Ipoh city centre and Pengkalan Station 18. The latter has Tesco and AEON malls, a cinema and various bank facilities. Dorset Place is also close to many other urban amenities in the surrounding neighbourhoods, for example eateries, grocery stores, and schools like the Shen Jai High School and the private Fairview International School Ipoh. Thus, it is a relatively-affordable and convenient place to stay, especially for young and growing families.
