Ashton Avenue, Poulton-le-Fylde

This delightful mid-terrace home on Ashton Avenue is full of charm and character and enjoys an enviable position in the heart of Knott End-on-Sea. Beautifully presented and well cared for, this property offers comfortable living accommodation and a wonderful coastal lifestyle, making it ideal for either permanent residence or as a relaxing holiday home by the sea.

Knott End-on-Sea is a highly sought-after village located on the southern side of Morecambe Bay, directly across the Wyre Estuary from Fleetwood. The village is easily accessible by bus, and during the warmer months, a seasonal ferry service provides a scenic ten-minute journey across the estuary to Fleetwood. The village serves as the main centre for the Over Wyre area and is well known for its traditional charm, independent shops, cafes and friendly pubs, including the popular Bourne Arms on the waterfront. From here, visitors can enjoy a picturesque five-mile circular walk, taking in beautiful views of the River Wyre, the coastline and surrounding countryside.

Steeped in history, Knott End was established in the 17th century as a fishing village, and many original cottages still remain. The area also has artistic significance, having inspired the renowned artist L. S. Lowry, who frequently visited and captured its seaside scenery in his artwork. The location offers the perfect balance between peaceful coastal living and access to nearby attractions. The wider Fylde Coast, with its popular seaside towns and beaches, is just a short drive away, and the stunning Lake District National Park can be reached in under an hour. Knott End Golf Club, one of the area's most scenic courses, is just a few minutes away and offers spectacular views across the bay.

The property itself is set within a row of similar homes, with an attractive garden front edged by mature hedging for privacy. Inside, the accommodation is warm and inviting. The entrance hall leads to a living room, filled with natural light from the large walk-in bay window. A feature open fireplace, believed to be original, provides a focal point to the room and reflects the property's 1930s heritage. The current owner uses an electric fire for convenience, but it is thought that the fireplace remains in working order.

The kitchen is decorated in soft lemon tones with oak-effect laminate worktops and offers a range of wall and base units. There is space for a cooker, washing machine and fridge freezer, along with room for a small table and chairs. Beyond the kitchen is a useful downstairs WC and a bright conservatory spanning the width of the house. Currently used as a craft space, it would make an ideal dining or garden room and enjoys pleasant views over the private rear garden.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms. The main bedroom, to the front of the house, is spacious and light, with alcoves that would be ideal for fitted wardrobes. The second double bedroom overlooks the rear garden and enjoys a view towards the lighthouse of Fleetwood, with a glimpse of the sea beyond. The bathroom completes the internal accommodation and features a three-piece suite including bath with shower over, wash basin and WC, along with a frosted window providing both light and privacy.

The rear garden is a real asset to the property and offers plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors. French doors from the conservatory open onto a patio area that is perfect for entertaining, relaxing or al fresco dining. Beyond the patio lies a generous lawned garden bordered by mature shrubs and hedging. The garden is currently divided into two sections by fencing, which could easily be removed to create one large open space if preferred. The garden is well maintained as it stands but also offers excellent potential for further landscaping or personalisation.

This home combines comfort, character and location in one appealing package. With its peaceful setting, excellent local amenities and easy access to the Fylde Coast, Lancaster and the Lake District.
