Summary - 20 HESKETH AVENUE BLACKPOOL FY2 9JX
1 bed 1 bath Block of Apartments
Auction-ready refurbishment with planning for five flats near the Promenade..
Freehold mid-terrace Victorian building, very large overall size
A large mid-terrace Victorian building on Hesketh Avenue, offered as a freehold auction lot with planning already approved to convert into five self-contained flats (Planning Ref 23/0484, Blackpool Council). The property is stripped back and requires full refurbishment throughout; the site presents clear redevelopment value for a buy-to-let portfolio or conversion specialist. Its location in Bispham places it close to the Promenade, shops, cafes and tourist amenities — useful for rental demand and short-stay potential.
Key physical constraints are straightforward: the building has no central heating system (electric heaters assumed), solid brick walls with no installed insulation (assumed), and double glazing of unknown age. Current EPCs are low (18 - D, 20 - G), so upgrade work will be needed to reach modern efficiency and lettable standards. The property is classified in an area of higher deprivation, which affects lettings and long-term capital growth risk and should be factored into income projections.
This lot is sold at auction: successful bidders must pay the deposit and auction fees immediately and comply with identity and funding verification. Buyers should study the legal pack for additional fees, disbursements and conveyancing details before bidding. For an investor comfortable with refurbishment and compliance upgrades, the approved five-flat scheme and seaside-adjacent location offer a tangible route to income after works.
