This traditional three-bedroom semi-detached Edwardian home offers spacious rooms, high ceilings and original features that suit family life by the coast. The house sits within walking distance of local shops, schools, the promenade and beach, making daily errands and weekend walks easy. The layout includes a bay-fronted lounge with stained glass, separate dining room, kitchen and an enclosed paved rear courtyard with utility/garden store—low-maintenance outdoor space for children or pets.
Practical systems are in place: mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, UPVC double glazing throughout, and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. At about 1,034 sq ft the property feels generous for a three-bedroom home; a single family bathroom serves all bedrooms. The front is paved and walled for low upkeep, while the rear courtyard provides privacy and storage.
Buyers should note several material points plainly. The area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime rates, which may concern some purchasers. The house dates from c.1930–1949 and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated—upgrading insulation could be needed to improve energy efficiency. The plot is small and the property has only one bathroom. Double glazing is present but the installation date is unknown, and some updating or refurbishment may be desirable to modernise finishes.
For families seeking character, convenient coastal living and scope to add value through energy improvements or cosmetic updating, this property presents a compelling, affordable option in Old Colwyn. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the period features, room proportions and practical location.
