Summary - FLAT 2, THE OLD SAILOR'S HOME, 62, DOCK STREET DD1 3DU
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Newly renovated two-bedroom home with private courtyard and elevator access.
Listed Victorian building (built 1881)
Set in the striking, listed Old Sailors Home (built 1881), this newly renovated two-bedroom flat blends period character with contemporary comfort. High ceilings and large windows give the living area excellent natural light, while underfloor heating and modern kitchen and bathrooms deliver low-maintenance living from day one. An elevator serves all floors and a private courtyard with storage provides rare outdoor space for a central city apartment.
The home is offered freehold and is well placed for city amenities, with waterfront views towards Slessor Gardens and the V&A, and the future Eden Project Dundee within easy walking distance. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit home working and streaming, and the layout offers flexible living — a main bedroom with en-suite plus a versatile second bedroom/office.
Important practical points: the building’s listed status means any alterations will be subject to restrictions and potentially additional consents and costs. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived and is a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood, which brings vibrancy but may mean higher local footfall and noise at times. Council tax is described as affordable.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer seeking a distinctive city-base with strong long-term potential, or someone prioritising move-in-ready accommodation with period charm and modern systems. Buyers wanting to change the building fabric should factor in listed-building consents and associated limits on works.
