The house was built between 1900–1929 and retains solid brick walls; double glazing is fitted though installation date is unknown. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, making the property suitable for home-working or online study. There is no flood risk and council tax costs are very low.
Buyers should note the property shows typical period-house issues and will suit those wanting to update and improve rather than a turn-key purchase. Walls are assumed uninsulated and the plot is small. The single wet-room bathroom and limited garden space may be a drawback for some households. The area is classified as deprived with average crime levels, so consider neighbourhood factors alongside the home’s strong seaside location and investment potential.
With a virtual tour available and a competitive asking price, this house offers scope for refurbishment to add value and tailor the space to modern family needs or rental use. Close schools rated Good and local amenities are within easy reach, strengthening the appeal for buyers seeking convenience and coastal lifestyle on a modest budget.
