Situation and Description: Located a few metres from Weymouth Beach across the road and close to the town centre. The property dates back to the Georgian period, is Grade II Listed and has the benefit of gas fired central heating. In the present ownership the property has undergone considerable improvement including a new boiler and water tanks, and the decoration moved to an annual rolling scheme of maintenance. The breakfast kitchen is conveniently located close to the dining room which is on the ground floor and has sea views. Also, a number of the letting rooms have sea views. The living accommodation is large and includes both a shower room and a huge bathroom which could be converted into a 3rd ensuite private bedroom, if required.
Weymouth was established by George III as a fashionable resort and since the 18th Century the area has been renowned as a holiday centre. Weymouth provides the more classic seaside leisure and tourist related facilities, whilst visitors can visit nearby Portland for informal, specialist diving and sailing pursuits – the new seven million pound National Sailing Academy is going strong and was the venue for the 2012 Sailing Olympics. Inland, the attractions of Dorset including ‘ Hardy Country ‘ bring people back to this region year after year. Weymouth attracts in excess of 2.5 million tourists each year and Weymouth and Portland Council promote many festivals throughout the year including the International Kite Festival, The International Military and Veterans Festival and dozens of other events centred around the Harbour, Beach and Pavilion.
