This second-floor, one-bedroom apartment sits a short stroll from Weymouth’s sandy esplanade and town centre — a practical entry point to coastal living. The block includes a private garage and the flat is offered chain free, making it straightforward to acquire for a buyer seeking a quick move or a rental asset.
The layout is compact (approximately 347 sq ft) with a lounge/diner, double bedroom, small kitchen and shower room. The kitchen is dated and the property uses electric storage heating; these are clear renovation opportunities for a buyer wanting to add value or tailor the flat to personal taste.
Important leasehold and location factors should be noted: there are about 79 years remaining on the lease and lenders may refuse mortgages on this term. Service charge and ground rent are payable (service charge approx. £1,366.30 pa; ground rent £40 pa). The area records higher crime and local deprivation indicators — factors to weigh for owner-occupiers and tenants.
For investors, the coastal position, garage and no onward chain are positive rental draws, though short lease length and local area profile will affect mortgage availability and rental demand. For first-time buyers, this is an affordable seaside starter with low council tax, but expect refurbishment costs and to confirm mortgage options before committing.
