Three kitchens and four floors—strong renovation or rental potential by the sea.
Seafront Victorian townhouse with expansive sea views
A rare four-floor Victorian seafront townhouse offering wide sea views and three self-contained kitchens across generous rooms. The property is freehold, sold with no onward chain and presents clear rental or multi-let potential for investors or a large family seeking location and scale. High ceilings, original period features and bay windows give strong character and commanding coastal vistas from multiple bedrooms.
The house requires comprehensive modernization and upgrading: scaffolding is present and parts appear in need of repair, walls are likely uninsulated solid brick, and fixtures are described without warranties. There are multiple bathrooms and WCs but dated fittings; the layout already includes three kitchens which could support HMO conversion or separate flats subject to consents. Crime levels in the area are very high and the wider neighbourhood is classified as very deprived, which will affect rental demand and resale value.
Practical positives include low flood risk, mains gas central heating, double glazing, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Council Tax Band C and a compact rear courtyard add convenience. Buyers should budget for significant refurbishment, potential insulation works, and confirm planning or licensing for multi-let use before committing.
