Two double bedrooms with generous proportions
South-facing low-maintenance front garden with good daylight
Porch could be removed for larger garden or parking (subject to planning)
Period property with mid-century fittings needing modernization
Cavity walls likely uninsulated—energy upgrades recommended
High local crime and very deprived area—consider security measures
Mains gas boiler and radiators; double glazing installed (date unknown)
No flood risk; fast broadband and excellent mobile signal
A deceptively spacious two-double-bedroom semi-detached home within easy walking distance of Weymouth town centre and seafront. The ground floor offers a light living room with traditional fireplace and dual-aspect windows, an adjacent dining room and a practical kitchen with direct access to a small rear courtyard. A south-facing front garden provides low-maintenance outdoor space and good daylight throughout most of the day.
The house has clear scope for improvement and value-add. The porch is currently used for storage but could be removed to create a larger garden or potential off-road parking, subject to planning. The property dates from the early 20th century and shows mid-century fittings and cosmetic wear throughout; some updating of kitchen, bathroom and finishes is likely to be needed.
Practical positives include mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Considerations: the area has high crime statistics and is very deprived; the cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed), so energy-efficiency upgrades may be required. Council tax is relatively cheap, and there is no reported flood risk.
This house will suit first-time buyers wanting an affordable entry into seaside living or investors targeting refurbishment and rental demand close to town and amenities. Buyers should budget for modernization, possible wall insulation works, and any permitted changes if altering the porch or parking.
