Set on Gloucester Avenue in central Blackpool, this flexible 3-bedroom (offering up to 4-bed/dormer layout) freehold home blends period character with practical modern updates. The property is bright and airy thanks to two conservatories that extend living space and let sunlight through, while an updated kitchen with integrated appliances caters to everyday family life. A driveway provides convenient off-street parking and the paved rear yard keeps outdoor maintenance low.
Internally you’ll find traditional features — bay windows, decorative fireplace and solid room proportions — alongside contemporary touches in the kitchen and conservatories. The house is a practical choice for families seeking space, for purchasers wanting a comfortable primary home, or for buyers who value room to adapt a loft/upper floor into additional sleeping accommodation or a dressing room with en-suite.
Important factors to note: the property sits in an area with higher crime levels and significant local deprivation, which may affect resale and rental demand. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and the house dates from the 1930s–1940s, so prospective buyers should budget for typical maintenance and future upgrading rather than a brand-new specification. Council tax is low and there is no flood risk.
Overall this is a well-presented, sizable home in a convenient town location — ideal for buyers prioritising space, character and low-maintenance outdoor areas, but best considered with awareness of local area challenges.
