A surprisingly spacious one-bedroom first-floor flat offering separate living, dining and kitchen areas — rare at this size. The generous lounge and dedicated dining room give clear distinct living spaces, ideal for a couple or a buyer wanting a home office. The double bedroom and three-piece bathroom complete a practical layout across approximately 774 sq ft.
Located on Highfield Road in South Shore (FY4 2JE), the flat sits close to local shops, eateries and frequent bus links, with Blackpool’s seafront attractions within easy reach. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern working-from-home needs. Double glazing (fitted post-2002) and mains gas central heating provide basic comfort and efficiency.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold and set in an area with high crime rates and significant deprivation, which will affect long-term demand and security perceptions. The mid-terrace home dates from 1930–1949 and has cavity walls assumed to have no added insulation, so further thermal improvements may be beneficial. Council tax is very low, and there is no flood risk.
This flat suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking roomy accommodation with clear rental or owner-occupier potential, provided you accept the location’s social challenges and potential retrofit works. Viewing is recommended to judge the space and neighbourhood at first hand.
