This substantial double-fronted Victorian semi-detached house offers spacious rooms and elevated sea views, making it a rare blank-canvas opportunity on the North Wales coast. The property spans five good-sized bedrooms and multiple reception rooms across approximately 2,078 sq ft, suited to someone planning a full refurbishment or conversion for rental/holiday use.
The house retains period features—high ceilings, bay window and decorative fireplaces—that provide strong character and scope for a sympathetic restoration. Practical positives include off-street parking, a front driveway, side garden and rear courtyard with stores, gas central heating and partial UPVC double glazing. Its location is convenient for local amenities, the A55 and coastal attractions.
Important drawbacks are clear and significant: the property requires a comprehensive scheme of renovation throughout, with only one bathroom and a ground-floor cloakroom for a five-bedroom home. Services have not been tested, and purchasers should allow for mechanical, electrical and heating works. The area scores high for crime and is in a very deprived ward, which may affect resale/rental appeal and financing options.
This lot is being sold at online auction with immediate exchange on fall of the hammer. Buyers must budget for the auction deposit, a buyer’s premium and rapid completion. The home is best suited to experienced renovators, investors seeking redevelopment, or buyers aiming to create a large family home who can manage refurbishment and factor in location-related considerations.
