Chain-free one-bedroom with long lease and easy beach access.
Seafront location with harbour and marina views
Set on Weymouth’s Esplanade, this one-bedroom seafront flat delivers classic period charm and reliable coastal views across the harbour. The open-plan living area and double bedroom both take advantage of the outlook, offering light-filled space for everyday life or short-let occupancy. Chain-free sale and a very long remaining lease (998 years) simplify purchase and ownership.
Practical aspects support comfortable living: mains gas boiler and radiators supply heating, mobile signal is excellent and flood risk is low. The property is offered with share of freehold and is close to town amenities, the beach and transport links — useful for first-time buyers and holiday rental demand.
Buyers should note important drawbacks: the building has solid brick walls with no assumed insulation, which can mean higher heating costs and future retrofit works. Service charges average £2,400 annually. The surrounding area has very high crime levels and is within a very deprived local area classification, which may affect resale values or rental premiums. Broadband speeds are average.
Overall this flat suits a buyer seeking an affordable seafront base with strong holiday appeal or an entry-level coastal home. It has straightforward ownership mechanics but will benefit from investment in insulation and careful consideration of local area factors before purchase.
