A rare four-storey, sea-front Victorian terrace offering expansive accommodation across approximately 3,600 sq ft. Positioned on Marine Terrace with direct views over Cardigan Bay and Constitution Hill, the property currently provides nine bedrooms, four kitchens, five bathrooms and a full basement — previously run successfully as an HMO. The freehold layout and rear garage with Queens Road access present clear redevelopment options: continue as HMO (subject to relevant consents), convert into self-contained flats, or restore as a large family home.
The building retains period features such as bay sash windows and high ceilings but shows visible wear and areas described as derelict; several rooms require refurbishment and finishing. Services are present (mains gas, electric, water, drainage) and double glazing was installed post-2002, but buyers should allow for comprehensive updating, possible reconfiguration, and checks on electrical/plumbing systems.
Strengths include substantial footprint, strong marine outlook, basement and garage, and versatile floorplan over five levels. Constraints to note: small plot with limited garden space, council tax banding described as quite expensive, the surrounding area is classified as very deprived/student communal living, and any HMO or conversion plans will need statutory permissions. This is a redevelopment opportunity best suited to investors, developers or buyers prepared to undertake a significant refurbishment project.
