This ground-floor retirement apartment at Harbour Lights Court sits moments from Weymouth’s Hope Square and town centre, with pleasant views across the inner harbour. The apartment benefits from a private entrance, generous principal bedroom with ensuite, a large living room with bay window, and a compact, well-equipped kitchen. Underfloor electric heating throughout provides consistent warmth and the building includes communal facilities that support independent living for over-60s.
The development offers practical secure living: an on-site House Manager, 24-hour emergency call system, residents’ lounge, laundry room, scooter store and landscaped communal gardens. Underground parking is available by permit (additional charge), and there is off-street parking close to the building. The flat’s layout and room sizes make it easy to live in and easy to maintain.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with around 115 years remaining; an above-average service charge (stated £5,100 pa) and a regular ground rent are payable (documents include conflicting figure guidance — buyers should verify exact amounts). Heating is electric underfloor heating and the property relies on mains electricity; long-term running costs should be considered. The immediate area is described as very deprived, though the location places shops, cafes, the marina and local transport within easy walking distance.
This apartment will suit a downsizer seeking a low-maintenance, well-supported retirement setting with harbour views and convenient town-centre access. It’s best for buyers who prioritise onsite support and communal facilities and who are comfortable with leasehold ownership and the ongoing service-charge costs.
