Towering above Hope Square and harbour-side cottages, Groves Malthouse is an iconic Grade II* Listed building, constructed by local architects, C R Crickmay & Sons, in the late 19th century for Groves Brewery. It sensitively preserves evidence of its former function as a brewery malthouse whilst benefitting from contemporary refurbishment into stylish apartments, of which no. 10 is the penthouse.

Displaying relics from its industrial past to include cast iron pillars and girders, exposed brickwork and bearing mounts exposed throughout, there is also a ‘museum’ occupying the entrance hall of the building where malt house equipment forms the centrepiece of a spacious room doubling as a meeting space and function room for the residents.

Approached via a communal entrance hallway containing the ‘museum’ area with glass partitions; the hallway also contains a storage room for apartment 10 of good dimensions and useful for large domestic items and outdoor pursuits equipment. The penthouse apartment is located on the top floor of the building and can be accessed by stairs or lift.

The penthouse itself is a truly impressive space which has been creatively designed to take into account its rich heritage with its vaulted ceiling and mezzanine floor taking centre stage. Many of the walls are composed of exposed brick and the ceilings retain their original character in the form of slim-line timber beams.

At lower level, the OPEN-PLAN LIVING SPACE has a well-appointed kitchen with a selection of high gloss units. Integral appliances include a combination oven and microwave, oven, induction hob, fridge and freezer. To the front elevation is a lucombe (a former pulley tower) utilised by the current owner as a snug with panoramic views across the surrounding Victorian buildings, and coastline beyond.

There are also TWO BEDROOMS, one of which has a walk-in cupboard (housing the tumble dryer too) along with a FAMILY BATHROOM with bath, wash-hand basin and WC.

A spiral staircase rises to the mezzanine floor. On this floor is the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM which has an extensive range of fitted wardrobes and the further advantage of an EN-SUITE SHOWER ROOM which provides a shower cubicle, wash-hand basin and WC. Three windows prettily frame views of the townscape and coastline beyond.

Outside
The apartment is accessed by keypad security gates where allocated parking is available under a car port; there are two communal visitors’ spaces. The car port has lighting and an electrical vehicle charging point. The front elevation of the building has stylish brushed-steel hurricane lamps and a small courtyard garden with elevated seating area and low-level lighting creating a pleasant outdoor space.

Location
Brewer’s Quay is a fashionable area offering restaurants and bars just a short distance away over the historic town bridge from bustling central Weymouth. Proximal to the property, the Nothe Peninsula provides magnificent views of the world-famous Jurassic Coast. The Nothe itself has tremendous historic significance; thought to have been the mooring point for barges during the Roman invasion of Dorset and the vantage point from which locals celebrated the defeat of the Spanish Armada as the enemy galleons were towed into Weymouth harbour.

Weymouth is famous for its golden sandy beach and the imposing Regency buildings which flank the sea front along The Esplanade. The world-renowned Sailing Academy and shallow waters of Weymouth Bay make it the ideal location from which to enjoy varied watersports. The town offers a multitude of well-known and independant shops, cafes and eateries, along with a mainline (London Waterloo) railway station.
