A mixed-use Victorian mid-terrace with a ground-floor shop and a four-bedroom maisonette above, offering striking sea views from the upper floors. The property is freehold, gas‑heated with double glazing (installed post‑2002), a garage, rear yard and off‑street forecourt parking — practical assets for either rental or owner-occupier plans.
This is a straightforward refurbishment project: the building needs renovation throughout, including cosmetic and likely mechanical upgrades. The commercial unit previously operated as a hair studio and includes a WC and street-facing display windows that suit retail or service use. The maisonette comprises a ground-level bedroom and bathroom, lower-ground kitchen and living room, and three bedrooms with panoramic views above.
Location is a primary value driver — sea views across Morecambe Bay, close proximity to the Eden Project site and local transport links. Annual running costs are likely modest (council tax band A), and flood risk is low. The property footprint is small but the internal area is a generous 1,604 sq ft, giving scope for reconfiguration or conversion subject to planning.
Material drawbacks are clear and should be part of any offer decision: the building requires full renovation, the walls are likely uninsulated stone, and the surrounding area records high crime rates and very high deprivation indices. Any change of use or creation of separate units will require planning permission and budgets should allow for unforeseen structural or compliance works.
