The bright 27' lounge/diner with feature fireplace and an extended galley kitchen plus utility room give practical family-oriented space on the ground floor. Garage and off-street parking are valuable conveniences in this town-fringe location.
Upstairs provides three first-floor bedrooms and a separate WC, while a ground-floor bathroom includes a separate shower cubicle. The home is freehold and offered chain free, making it straightforward for buyers ready to move quickly. The nearby primary and secondary schools, local shops and transport links add everyday convenience.
Buyers should note this is a period property with solid brick walls likely without built-in insulation and heating currently via room heaters supplemented by mains gas. Broadband speeds are reported slow. The plot is modest in size and the area records above-average crime compared with national figures. These factors mean there may be some energy-efficiency and security improvements to consider, which also present opportunity to add value.
Overall, this property suits first-time buyers seeking seaside proximity and scope to personalise. It also appeals to investors looking for a rental in a popular coastal town, provided they budget for modernisation and potential insulation or heating upgrades.
