Set within the striking period Tower House in popular Greenhill, this ground-floor, bay-fronted flat offers practical coastal living close to Weymouth seafront and town centre. The layout includes two double bedrooms, a large living room with decorative coving and bay window, a separate kitchen with breakfast bar, a full bathroom with bath and separate shower, plus an external storage room and private outdoor space.
Practical ownership details support long-term security: a 1/5th share of the freehold with about 963 years remaining on the lease, and an annual service charge of £1,200 which covers buildings insurance. Pets are permitted but holiday letting is not, and buyers should verify these details with their solicitor before committing.
Strengths include off-street parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and bright, airy rooms that suit comfortable everyday living or a buy-to-let arrangement constrained by the no-holiday-letting condition. Note the building dates from the early 20th century and cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation; some energy or maintenance improvements may be desirable.
The location is a major draw — walking distance to the seafront, Lodmoor Country Park, shops and regular transport links — but also consider local context: the area is classified as very deprived and local crime levels are above average. This property suits downsizers seeking low-step access to coastal amenities or investors wanting a conventional rental in a sought-after seaside neighbourhood, provided they accept the restrictions on holiday lets.
