A compact Victorian terrace offering two double bedrooms across three floors, moments from Hope Square and Weymouth Harbour. The top-floor bedroom has dormer windows and far-reaching sea and harbour views, while the front bay windows and exposed brick fireplaces retain period character. The layout suits first-time buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in home with scope to personalise.
Practical features include double glazing (fitted post-2002), gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and low-maintenance gravelled rear garden. The kitchen is modern shaker style with built-in oven and hob, and there is useful understairs storage. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent, making the house convenient for remote working or streaming.
Notable drawbacks are the small plot and limited outdoor space, plus narrow room proportions typical of town terraces. Some internal areas show dated décor and the staircase and certain finishes would benefit from modernisation. The property sits in an area with higher local deprivation and a constrained rental market profile; this may affect resale or lettings compared with more affluent neighbourhoods.
This freehold mid-terrace, with cheap Council Tax (Band B) and easy access to Weymouth’s seafront, suits first-time buyers wanting character, sea views and a low-maintenance garden, or buyers willing to invest modestly in updates to increase value.
