This four-bedroom Victorian semi-detached home offers substantial living space and clear scope for improvement. Set over two storeys with a fourth bedroom in the loft, the layout includes lounge, dining room, kitchen, utility and two shower/bath rooms — practical accommodation for a growing family or a buy-to-let investor seeking rental income.
The property requires full modernisation: fixtures and finishes are dated, and there is reported mold and damp in parts of the living room. Renovation will be needed to bring kitchens, bathrooms and decorative elements up to contemporary standards, but the solid period bones — high ceilings, bay windows and cornice detailing — provide good potential to add value.
Outside, the small enclosed rear yard is low-maintenance and there is off-street parking to the front. The home is freehold, in Council Tax Band B and has no flood risk. It sits close to the promenade and local amenities, offering convenient beach access and strong public transport links, though the immediate area has high crime levels and marked socio-economic deprivation which will affect resale and lettings demand.
This property is best suited to buyers who can invest time and budget into refurbishment: contractors, DIY renovators or investors prepared to manage a refurbishment project. The low asking price reflects the condition and local market; with correct work, the period features could be restored to create a comfortable family home or a rental opportunity near the coast.
