Set back from Northdown Road in a sought-after Cliftonville location, this three-bedroom home sits on a larger-than-average plot with straightforward pedestrian access down to the sea. The bungalow offers generous room sizes, a sunny conservatory overlooking the rear garden, garage plus off-street parking — practical features for family life or a coastal base.
The property has significant upside: a very large loft with potential to convert or extend upwards subject to planning permission, allowing you to add more living space or a master suite. Internally the layout is traditional and bright, with a long wide hallway and a sizeable lounge that opens onto the conservatory.
The house does require modernisation throughout. The kitchen and bathroom are dated and will need updating; buyers should expect renovation work and associated costs. There is a single bathroom only, which may be a consideration for larger families. Buyers must also obtain the necessary planning consents before any loft conversion or upward extension.
Overall this freehold home offers immediate liveability with clear potential to add value through sympathetic refurbishment and permitted loft development. Its low-crime, affluent neighbourhood and proximity to good primary and secondary schools make it a practical pick for families seeking space near the coast.
