Victorian 1-bed terrace with sea views and a large enclosed garden, ready to update..
Spectacular coastal views from rear aspect
A compact Victorian mid-terrace with genuine seaside appeal, offered freehold and well suited to a first-time buyer seeking character and a large private garden. The rear aspect rewards with spectacular coastal views and an extensive, fully enclosed garden with pergola and mature planting — a rare external space for a central village terrace.
Internally the house spreads over three floors: an open-plan kitchen/diner with integrated appliances, a lower-level living room that opens to a rear porch and WC, and a generous double bedroom with fitted wardrobes plus a walk-in shower room. Double glazing and mains gas central heating are already fitted, helping comfort and running costs; council tax band is described as cheap.
Be clear about the trade-offs. Rooms are generally small by modern standards and the building is pre-1900 with granite or whinstone walls that likely lack cavity insulation. The property requires some modernisation and ongoing maintenance, and there is no garage or large front plot. The local area is classified as very deprived with predominantly blue-collar terraces, which may affect resale values and community services.
For the right buyer this is a practical, affordable entry into village living with immediate sea views and a substantial garden to develop. It suits someone who values location and outdoor space and is willing to invest modestly in updating internal finishes and insulation to unlock the property’s full potential.
