Set on the top floor of a striking Victorian conversion, this two-bedroom flat offers a compact coastal home minutes from Weymouth’s beach and town centre. Sold with no onward chain, a share of the freehold and a very long lease, it presents a straightforward purchase route for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
The apartment has an open-plan living area with period features and good ceiling height, plus two modest bedrooms — one with a distinctive hexagonal shape. Residents’ allocated parking and well-kept communal grounds are practical benefits rarely found so close to the seafront.
The property does require modernisation: the interior decor and some fittings are dated, the glazing predates 2002, and the EPC is currently rated F. Service charges average £1,714 per year. These factors mean there is clear scope to add value through improvement works, but buyers should budget accordingly.
Location strengths include short walks to shops, schools and public transport, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Note the wider area shows higher-than-average crime and marked local deprivation; prospective purchasers should weigh neighbourhood considerations alongside the flat’s coastal position and long-lease security.
