This spacious mid-terraced Georgian townhouse blends original period character with practical family living. High ceilings, sash windows, fireplaces and stripped floorboards give the principal rooms real charm, while a 26ft open-plan lounge/diner provides a generous everyday living and entertaining space.
The property’s standout selling points are the private rear courtyard and an elevated roof terrace with panoramic sea views — ideal for morning coffee or evening sunsets. The layout is flexible, offering four good bedrooms plus a ground-floor study that can serve as a fifth bedroom, home office or utility space.
Practical details: gas central heating, downstairs WC/laundry room, and useful built-in storage. The house is chain free and close to the beach, Norman Road shops and local transport, making it convenient for family life or a seaside holiday let.
Important considerations: the property has an EPC rating D, solid brick walls likely without modern insulation, and sits in an area with higher crime and marked deprivation. The courtyard is small, and some energy-efficiency or cosmetic upgrading may be required to improve running costs and comfort. Buyers should factor refurbishment and insulation works into their plans and budgets.
