Located on the 1st floor of Deheers, with colourful south facing views across Weymouth’s Old Harbour, Herbert’s Residence provides fresh, luxury warehouse living to a level of quality previously not available in the local area.
All residences at Deheers benefit from fixtures and fittings that have been chosen to compliment the history of the building and provide a beautifully simple palette around which to make a home.
From the high specification fixtures in the kitchens and bathrooms to the thoughtfully arranged living areas and bedrooms, the Deheers team have been meticulous in ensuring no feature has been overlooked.
This connecting space provides; egress from the property; access to all the main living areas; two generous storage cupboards, one of which houses an AEG Washer/Dryer (10kg/6kg); a cloakroom with WC and hand basin.
The lobby is well lit through a large feature Crittall style wall that provides views and access into the main, south facing living area. The floor covering is an oak effect laminate with a high level of water-resistance and a board width of 190mm, above which the painted plaster walls provide a number of opportunities to display large artworks.

An impressive open plan space with walls finished in a mix of red brick slip and painted plaster. The south elevation houses centrally positioned French doors opening onto a Juliet balcony, flanked by two large opening windows all with charming views across the Old Harbour. Hints of the buildings past are on show throughout, including a number of steel columns newly painted to match the Smart Heritage aluminium windows.

A large island unit provides a plethora of under-counter storage, 3 pin and USB sockets and a breakfast bar with seating for two.

Arranged to take full advantage of two large windows, the Master Bedroom is clean and simple in its design and carefully considered to evoke a sense of well being.

Davy Jones had a longstanding affinity with the Deheers building and perhaps, of all its proprietors, was most interwoven with its past and the Borough of Weymouth & Portland.
When you grow up by the sea, as Davy did, there is a sort of magic that enters your blood. The sea isn’t just ever present, it becomes part of your soul, part of your very being.
For many of his formative years, Davy lived in a house right on Chesil Beach. The seaside was literally on his doorstep providing endless opportunity to play, explore and supplement the family’s existence. It’s fair to say that the cliffs, coves, beaches and surrounding waters of Weymouth & Portland defined Davy. The skills and knowledge honed in local waters, where he felt most at home, would lead to numerous future spearfishing accolades.
The lure of the water was ever present throughout Davy’s life. In the 1950s, as a teenager, he worked the boat pitches on Weymouth beach, then owned by prominent local businessman Edgar Wallace. From 1953 – 1958, Davy also served his apprenticeship as a plater and boilermaker with Cosens of Weymouth. During this time he would often be required to ride his motor scooter over to Lulworth ready to receive and cast off Cosens’ visiting pleasure steamers, a task Davy no doubt took great pleasure in fulfilling.
Towards the end of his apprenticeship, an opportunity arose for Davy to purchase the boat pitches from Wallace and shortly after completing his training and receiving his platers card Davy left Cosens to focus all of his efforts on his new beach business. It is a testament to Davy’s entrepreneurial spirit that, 60 years later, this business is still owned and operated by the Jones family.
However it was Davy’s move into construction that would go on to shape his professional life and a legacy synonymous with the Jones family name. Whilst his first construction company specialised in the erection of Dutch Barns and other agricultural farm buildings, it was an opportunity to purchase many of the long leaseholds at the former Chickerell Airfield, from the local council, on the condition that he construct factories for letting that prompted a move into commercial property. Davy built the factories and the business came to what subsequently became known as the Granby Industrial Estate. By the time he retired, Davy had become a major contributor to the local economy amassing a portfolio of over 130 commercial properties, including the warehouse building at 9 Custom House Quay.
Now under the stewardship of one of Davy’s three sons, the Deheers project will bring new purpose to a building that meant so much to Davy and provide a much needed regeneration catalyst to a town that means so much to so many.
