A bright, first-floor one-bedroom flat offered with no onward chain and a new 999-year lease (1/4 share of freehold). The open-plan living area and contemporary fitted kitchen create a flexible main room that suits modern single living or a couple. Allocated off-street parking and a generous external store add practical value rarely found at this price.
The apartment is compact (approx. 323 sq ft) but well presented, with a modern shower room, double glazing and gas central heating. A westerly-facing communal garden provides outdoor space, and the property sits close to regular bus routes linking Weymouth and Dorchester plus local shops and services.
Important considerations: the home is in a very deprived area with above-average recorded crime, so buyers should factor local conditions into their decision. The flat is small and better suited to a single occupant or couple rather than a family. Service charge is low (about £30 pcm) and council tax is very cheap, but buyers should verify lease and service details with a solicitor before committing.
For a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance, affordable entry to the local housing market, this flat offers long-term security via a long lease and share of freehold, plus practical extras like parking and storage. It represents straightforward, low-upkeep living with good transport links to larger nearby towns.
