Guide price £850,000–£875,000. This substantial four-bedroom semi-detached house on Eastern Esplanade offers exceptional, uninterrupted sea views from a large roof terrace and a private balcony off the master bedroom. Elevated above the promenade, the property captures panoramic vistas across the estuary, pier and coastline, and has large picture windows to maximise light and outlook. A private garden and multiple outdoor spaces give rare outside living at a seafront position.
Internally the house is spacious with high ceilings, period features and well-proportioned rooms across approximately 1,949 sq ft. The kitchen is traditional and large, and living spaces are designed to take advantage of the view — ideal for family living or a second-home by the sea. Fast broadband and average mobile signal support home working or streaming.
Important practical points: the property has just one bathroom, which may be limiting for four bedrooms. The building is solid brick with assumed no wall insulation and double glazing installed before 2002, so improvement works (insulation, window upgrades) would likely be needed to improve thermal performance and running costs. Council tax is above average and the wider area scores as deprived, which may affect longer-term capital growth expectations.
The location offers convenience to local shops, restaurants and bus links, and several well-rated schools are within reach, including an outstanding selective secondary nearby. Flood risk is low and the property is freehold. This home suits buyers seeking generous sea-facing accommodation with scope to modernise and personalise, or investors looking for distinctive seafront rental potential with renovation upside.
