Set within a handsome Grade II listed Georgian terrace on Weymouth’s prestigious Esplanade, this top-floor apartment sits built into the roofline and benefits from elevated sea views across Weymouth Bay. The living/dining room is generous for the size, and the practical kitchen and roomy bedroom make the flat comfortable as a lock-up-and-leave holiday base or rented unit.
Holiday lets are permitted, giving clear investment potential close to the beach, cafés and the town centre. Ownership is secure: a share of freehold with a 999-year lease from 2001 and modest annual management costs (£1,456) keep running costs predictable for short-term rental or buy-to-let ownership.
Buyers should note the property’s Grade II listed status. While this is part of the apartment’s period appeal, listed status can restrict alterations, repair approaches and may increase costs for works. The roofline location delivers cosy proportions and smaller windows compared with lower-floor flats — an attractive character feature but less light than a full-height apartment.
The building’s location is a major draw with the beach and town on your doorstep and good rail links. However, the immediate area records higher crime levels and is classed as very deprived, factors that investors and owner-occupiers should weigh against rental demand and pricing. Broadband speeds are average, mobile signal is excellent.
