Summary - 20 YORK STREET BLACKPOOL FY1 5AQ
8 bed 5 bath Terraced
Large Victorian terrace near the Promenade — strong development potential, sold at auction.
Eight bedrooms plus attic room, flexible layout
A spacious Victorian mid-terrace offering eight bedrooms plus an attic room across three storeys, positioned just steps from Blackpool Promenade. The generous internal footprint and large modern kitchen suit continued use as guest accommodation or conversion into multiple flats (subject to planning). Two lounges, multiple bathrooms and a useful yard provide operational flexibility for short-term lets or residential redevelopment.
The property is sold freehold at auction and offered with clear development potential for investors or developers seeking a seaside site. Construction dates from c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls (no known insulation) and double glazing of unknown age. Heating is by electric storage heaters; services are electric and broadband speeds are average.
Important practical points: the house sits in a very deprived area with very high local crime rates, and the terrace requires maintenance and modernisation throughout. The plot is small and rooms are a mix of medium and narrow sizes; walls likely lack insulation. Council tax is very low, and mobile signal is excellent. Buyers should note the auction process includes a buyer information pack and a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum £6,600) payable in addition to the price.
This is a clear value-led opportunity for an experienced investor or developer comfortable working in higher-risk urban locations. For those able to manage refurbishment, short-term letting or conversion to flats could unlock significant upside given the promenade location and local tourist footfall. Conversely, it is not recommended for first-time buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in family home without significant work.
