This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers a compact, affordable entry into Weymouth living. Positioned a short walk from the harbour and town centre, it suits first-time buyers or investors seeking strong rental potential and low running commitments. Allocated off-street parking, fast broadband and very low council tax add practical appeal.
Internally the layout is efficiently arranged with an open-plan living/kitchen, two doubles and a bathroom. The flat is in reasonable decorative order with fitted kitchen, double glazing and inset spot lighting. Heating is by electric storage heaters — economical to run for occasional occupation but may feel limited for full-time living.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with an exceptionally long lease (approx. 957 years remaining) and a small £25pa ground rent. The overall footprint is small (approx. 435 sq ft) so space is limited — this restricts family use but keeps maintenance low. The local area is relatively deprived with average crime levels, which buyers should weigh against the location benefits.
This home is best for first-time purchasers seeking a low-cost, city-centre starter home or landlords targeting short-term or holiday lets close to Weymouth harbour. Cosmetic updating or selective improvements (heating upgrade, insulation) would increase comfort and longer-term value.
