This compact ground-floor flat on Wesley Street puts Weymouth’s seafront, harbour and town centre on your doorstep — ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a low-entry coastal home or an investor targeting short-stay lets. The layout is practical: a front living room leading to a galley kitchen, one double bedroom and a rear shower room. The property is offered chain free and benefits from a very long lease (c. 989 years) and double glazing fitted post-2002.
The apartment is small (approximately 332 sq ft) and presented in basic decorative order. There are signs it would benefit from updating — new flooring, redecoration and general modernization will improve comfort and rental appeal. The building is solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, so buyers should expect that heating and insulation upgrades would add value and reduce running costs.
Location is a strong selling point: excellent local amenities, frequent bus and rail links, and a short stroll to the beach and town centre. Practical positives include mains gas central heating via a combi boiler, low flood risk and very cheap council tax. However, the area has high crime levels and a very deprived local profile; buyers should weigh local socio-economic factors when considering long-term ownership or lettings.
For investors and first-time purchasers this flat represents an affordable entry into Weymouth with clear potential to add value through cosmetic and efficiency improvements. For anyone needing outside space, a larger layout or a quieter neighbourhood, this property’s compact plan and terraced street setting will be limiting.
