Knowlys Road, Heysham, Morecambe

An imposing Victorian semi-detached villa with up to six double bedrooms, sitting just across the road from the sea with breathtaking views across the bay and the historic St Peter’s Church. It’s no surprise that this view once inspired the famous artist J.M.W. Turner; such is the beauty of the sweeping seascape, framed by the distant Cumberland mountains. With its ever-changing tides and glorious sunsets, this home offers a truly unique coastal backdrop.

From the moment you step through the elegant hallway, the character and charm of this Victorian home immediately draw you in. The home has been meticulously maintained to a very high standard, with a wealth of period features, high ceilings and spacious rooms that effortlessly combine elegance with warmth.

The lounge is perfectly positioned to capture those stunning sea views. A second reception room, currently used as a games room, provides flexible living space, while the utility area and cloakroom enhance the practicality of this thoughtfully designed space. The dining room features a charming multi-fuel stove that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere and flows seamlessly into the lovely kitchen, which is another highlight, filled with an abundance of natural light.

The first floor is home to four generously sized rooms: a bay-windowed sitting room and an adjacent study that both enjoy fabulous sea views, plus two double bedrooms.  The first floor boasts four generously proportioned rooms, including a stunning bay-fronted sitting room and an adjoining study both offering breathtaking sea views, alongside two spacious double bedrooms. A family bathroom, complete with a claw-foot bath, offers a perfect retreat after a long day.
