A Grade II listed, three-bedroom mid-terrace townhouse arranged over two floors, 5 Kents Bank House sits within attractive communal grounds with distant views over Morecambe Bay. The house combines period character — high corniced ceilings, sash windows and a sandstone-style fireplace — with recent upgrades: a bespoke kitchen refitted in 2021, an en-suite renewed in 2023 and a family bathroom replaced in 2024. The large lounge, solid wood parquet and generous bedroom sizes give a spacious, elegant feel throughout.
Practical benefits include a single garage with power and light, an additional parking space, a private paved patio and use of well-maintained communal gardens. A Worcester Bosch Greenstar boiler was installed in 2024 (manufacturer guarantee), and the layout includes a convenient utility room and WC on the ground floor. The property is leasehold (share of freehold) with a long lease remaining and a management company that maintains the exterior and grounds.
Important points to note: the house is listed, which brings maintenance and alteration constraints and may complicate works or permissions. It is a leasehold with an annual service charge of about £2,700 and council tax at Band E (above average). Broadband was recorded as slow and mobile signal as average — factors to consider if you require high-speed connectivity. The property sits close to Kents Bank station and the promenade, making it especially suitable for buyers seeking a low-crime, peaceful, seaside-edge location.
This home will suit buyers wanting a characterful, low-maintenance period property with sea views and off-street parking — ideal for downsizers or professionals seeking a handsome, turn-key home with scope to personalise inside listed constraints. Investors should note the advertised rental estimate and the lease/service-charge arrangements and check permitted use under the lease if short-term lets are intended.
