Low-maintenance one-bed retirement flat steps from Weymouth harbour, chain free.
Ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment, over-55s only
A ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment in Jenner Court, a red-brick development on Stavordale Road, offers low-maintenance living a short stroll from Weymouth harbour. The flat sits within generous communal gardens and benefits from a secure communal entrance, 24-hour emergency call system and easy access to local shops and transport links.
Designed for residents aged over 55, the apartment is compact but functional: a reception room, practical kitchen, double bedroom and a walk-in shower room with seat. The property is offered with no forward chain, making it a straightforward purchase for buyers seeking to downsize quickly.
Buyers should note material costs: an annual service charge of £3,460 and ground rent of £360, and a lease with approximately 87 years remaining. The building’s location brings convenience and coastal appeal, but the wider area shows high local deprivation and recorded higher crime levels, which may concern some purchasers.
This home suits someone seeking a manageable, seafront-adjacent retirement base with communal outdoor space and on-site safety features. It offers immediate occupancy potential but also requires buyers to accept communal ownership costs and the shorter-than-average lease term where future lease extension costs should be considered.
