Summary - 1, CRICHTON ROAD PA20 9JR
3 bed 2 bath Flat
Spacious retirement-friendly flat with private decking and garden.
C‑listed Victorian quarter villa with original period features
Set within a handsome C‑listed Victorian villa, this ground-floor quarter flat combines generous period rooms with elevated sea and hill views. The property retains original features — high ceilings, cornicing, bay windows and fireplaces — and adds practical upgrades such as double glazing and gas central heating. A private front decking area and mostly lawned rear garden offer outdoor space to enjoy the sunsets.
Accommodation includes a spacious lounge and separate dining room with multi-fuel stove, two large double bedrooms on the main level, a well-appointed bathroom with jacuzzi bath, and a rear extension housing a ground-floor kitchen, utility and an upper-floor third bedroom with en-suite. The layout suits someone seeking roomy single-floor living with occasional upstairs use for guests or a study.
Buyers should note the property’s C listing — repairs, alterations and some modernisation will be subject to listed‑building controls and may cause additional cost or delay. Broadband speeds are slow and the local area is classified as very deprived; practical connectivity and some local services may be limited. Mobile signal is average. Despite these issues, the freehold tenure, low council tax band and attractive sea views make this a sensible option for downsizers or retirees wanting character and outdoor space close to town amenities.
Practical points: there is a shared drying green, a cellar under the stairs, and narrow sections of hallway. The house is offered with most original features intact; buyers should factor in any conservation work and survey recommendations before committing.
