Coastal terrace with garden — ideal first home or rental project close to Rodwell Trail.
Two double bedrooms with potential to reinstate third bedroom (existing plumbing in place)
This Victorian terraced home on Salisbury Road offers straightforward coastal living a short walk from the Rodwell Trail, Weymouth harbour and local amenities. Two double bedrooms, a generous lounge with bay window and a private rear garden create an immediately comfortable layout for a first-time buyer or investor.
The house requires updating throughout — kitchen, bathroom style and general modernisation are needed — but the property is structurally typical of 1930s-40s construction with filled cavity walls and double glazing installed after 2002. The current layout was altered from three bedrooms; original plumbing remains in the utility room, making a return to three bedrooms possible with modest work.
Practical benefits include mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, a utility room with plumbing and WC, rear garden access via a gate, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Council tax is inexpensive and there is no identified flood risk.
Be honest about the neighbourhood: this postcode sits within a high-crime, very deprived local area and wider “hampered aspiration” classification. That context keeps purchase price lower and creates potential for good rental yield or future capital growth after refurbishment, but it also means buyers should factor in security, ongoing area support services and possible mortgage or insurance considerations.
