This two-bedroom end-of-terrace in Grotto Gardens offers easy coastal living a short walk from Marsden Beach. The ground floor flows from an entrance hall into a bright lounge and a generous kitchen-diner, while two double bedrooms upstairs enjoy partial sea views. Practical extras include a stylish bathroom and double-glazed windows installed after 2002.
Externally the property stands out for its large double garage with electricity and lighting — ideal for secure parking, storage or a workshop — plus additional hard standing for off-street parking and a sunny patio garden. The home is freehold, has a Council Tax Band A (very cheap) and an EPC rating of C.
Buyers should note the house was built in the 1950s–60s and cavity walls are recorded as having no insulation (assumed). That presents an energy-improvement opportunity and may need attention if you value lower running costs. The plot is modest and the surrounding area is classified as more deprived; nearby amenities and good local schools are positives, but consider local socio-economic factors when deciding.
Overall this property suits a first-time buyer or investor wanting a well-located coastal home with strong storage and parking provision, sensible running costs once targeted improvements are made, and straightforward access to public transport and shops.
