Views views and more views - WOW - they don't come any better than these!!!

If you have a little imagination, have been looking for a home by the sea with lots of natural light in a peaceful spot, then no need to look any further - this is a great opportunity.

The property will appeal to a variety of purchasers from investors, second home seekers or perhaps a couple or family. Although the Penthouse does not have any private outdoor space (ideal for the lock up and leavers) it is close to the Promenade which provides access to the playing fields and playground.

The first taste of the fabulous views can be observed from the Conservatory Style Entrance Porch which leads into the Entrance Hallway which is spacious with cylinder/cloaks cupboard and door to Shower Room and Inner Hall. The Shower Room is tiled with uPVC boarded ceiling, chrome ladder radiator and large walk in shower enclosure, WC and wash hand basin. The Inner Hall has a useful under stairs storage cupboard, stairs to the First Floor and doors to Bedrooms and Shower Room.

The 2 Bedrooms are well proportioned doubles with a range of fitted furniture and absolutely breath-taking bay views to the fells beyond.
The Dressing/Hobbies Room is a versatile and useful room with some fitted furniture - most recently used as a large Office but suitable as a Craft Room, Music Room, Home Cinema, Kids Den etc.

The return stair leads to the First Floor with access to the Lounge which is dominated by the magnificent views over Morecambe Bay to the fells beyond. There is currently a large, tiled window seat which is perfect to waste away the just staring at the superb view. There is a fire place with electric stove and double doors to the Dining Room which enjoys further similar bay views and could easily be knocked through into the Lounge if required. Off the Lounge is a 'Study/Office' with internal stained glass window, roof-light and fitted with a range of recessed cupboards and drawers with reduced head height - an ideal child's playroom perhaps if a study was not required.

The Kitchen is fitted with cream wall and base units with contrasting work-surface and stainless steel sink. Integrated dishwasher and fridge/freezer; built-in oven, microwave and twin ring ceramic hob. With two recessed larder style cupboards the Kitchen provides plenty of storage. A door leads into the Dining Room and another to the 'Utility Room', again with reduced head height but a good use of space with space and plumbing for washing machine, tumble drier, fridge and freezer.

Outside there is a Single Garage. being the end one of four to the right. Parking to the front of the Garage.
