Compact ground-floor flat with garden, garage and parking — good starter purchase.
Double bedroom ground-floor flat, circa 390 sqft
A compact ground-floor flat on Norton Road offering practical, ready-to-live accommodation ideal for first-time buyers or downsizers. The double bedroom, living room with adjoining sun room and usable rear garden give a sense of space despite the apartment’s modest footprint (circa 390 sqft). A detached garage and off-street parking for two cars are rare extras at this price band.
The layout is traditional and straightforward: kitchen with integrated fridge freezer and utility area, bathroom with over-bath electric shower, and a bright sun room that extends the living space. The property benefits from a very long lease (948 years) and double glazing to most rooms, while period 1930s features remain visible externally.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: the home uses room heaters plus mains gas rather than a modern central heating system, the sun room is single-glazed, and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated — all of which can affect running costs. The EPC rating is E. The surrounding area is classed as very deprived, though local amenities, bus links and coastal walks are nearby.
For someone seeking an affordable entry into Heysham/Morecambe, this flat offers value through its low council tax band, parking, private garden and garage. It suits buyers willing to accept a smaller overall size and invest selectively in heating and insulation improvements to reduce running costs and enhance comfort.
