This four-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace sits a 60-second walk from Weymouth Beach and the esplanade, offering clear seaside rental and holiday-let potential. The house is freehold with mains gas heating, recent double glazing (installed 2002+), a compact private courtyard and permit street parking — practical assets in a central coastal location.
Internally the layout provides flexible living across multiple storeys: lounge with period fireplace, kitchen with utility and a ground-floor shower room, plus two bathrooms across the first and second floors. The roughly 1,165 sq ft internal area and four double bedrooms suit multi-occupancy lets, families looking for space, or buyers planning sensitive refurbishment to add value.
Be candid on condition and context: the property sits in a very deprived area with very high local crime rates, and broadband speeds are reported as very slow. The terraced brick walls appear uninsulated (original solid construction), and some rooms show dated finishes and wear that will require cosmetic or deeper renovation depending on your plans. Outdoor space and the plot are very small, so seaside convenience comes with limited private garden.
For investors this is a location-led opportunity: proximity to the beach and town-centre amenities supports high demand, but factor in higher local management needs and possible remedial works (insulation, updating finishes, and improving connectivity) when assessing yield. For someone seeking a weekend coastal base or family home, the property offers character and space but will need targeted investment to modernise and address energy performance.
