Set on Weymouth’s Esplanade, this two-bedroom top-floor flat offers direct sea views and genuine coastal potential. The living room and master bedroom face the bay, providing natural light and a rare seaside outlook for the price band. The property is compact (approx. 570 sq ft) and suits buyers seeking an affordable seafront base or a renovation project.
The apartment requires full updating throughout: the kitchen and main bathroom need modernisation, and the building’s timber-frame walls are assumed to lack insulation. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; double glazing was installed after 2002. The flat is leasehold and set within a period Edwardian terrace, with an accessible loft space off the shower room.
Location is a trade-off: immediate beach access and plentiful local amenities support a coastal lifestyle, but the surrounding area scores high for deprivation and crime, which may concern some buyers. Broadband is average but mobile signal is excellent. Council tax is described as cheap, which helps running costs.
This property will appeal to first-time buyers prepared to renovate, buy-to-let investors seeking a seafront asset to upgrade, or anyone wanting a compact seaside bolt-hole. Be realistic about works needed and the neighbourhood context when considering a viewing.
