A three-bedroom semi-detached house on Grotto Road offers direct sea views over Marsden Beach and easy access to The Leas and the coastline. The layout is traditional and practical: lounge, separate dining room, kitchen with utility, three bedrooms and a family bathroom plus separate WC. Gardens front and rear, driveway and detached single garage give useful outdoor space and parking for a family vehicle.
The property is sold vacant with no onward chain and presented ready for personalisation and modernisation. Many original mid‑century fixtures and fittings remain, so the house is a clear project for buyers who want to add value and tailor finishes. The boiler and mains gas central heating are in place and the windows are double glazed (installation date unknown), but overall the home will benefit from cosmetic updating and targeted refurbishment.
Practical positives include off‑road parking and garage, a low maintenance front garden and a larger rear lawn, fast broadband potential and low local crime. Important considerations: the home is dated and described as needing renovation, there is only one bathroom with a separate WC, and the wider locality shows higher levels of area deprivation — buyers should factor renovation costs and local market conditions into their plans. Council Tax band B keeps running costs modest.
For families or first‑time buyers wanting a coastal base with scope, this property is a straightforward canvas: keep the sea views and improve the interiors to create a comfortable, modern home close to good local schools and the seafront. Viewings are recommended for those seeking a coastal project with parking and a garage.
