Revesby Avenue, Grimsby, DN34

Here is a genuinely exciting opportunity to acquire a two bedroom semi-detached bungalow on one of Grimsby's most established bungalow streets, with real scope to add value through a full scheme of modernisation and finish it to a buyer's own taste throughout.

The property sits behind a small garden, with a bay window to the living room giving the frontage good natural light and a strong first impression. The roofline, chimney and brickwork all present soundly and are the solid bones of the property.

Inside, the layout is simple and workable: two bedrooms, one a comfortable double and the second ideal as a single, nursery, home office or study, a living room with that bay window, a kitchen with an adjoining pantry, and a bathroom fitted with a bath, basin and WC all in the one room. Because the decor and fittings throughout are dated, this is effectively a blank canvas, a buyer gets to choose every finish from scratch rather than paying for, and working around, someone else's recent renovation. New flooring and decoration throughout will form part of the finishing touches, and a full refit of the kitchen and bathroom would bring the whole property up to a high standard.

Outside, the garden is generous for a bungalow of this size and already has mature rose bushes and established planting in place, a strong head start for anyone wanting to landscape it. To the rear, a brick-built outbuilding with an attached greenhouse frame adds further potential again, ideal as a workshop, store or garden room project once refurbished.
With its single-storey layout, private garden and additional outbuilding, 8 Revesby Avenue offers a rare combination of space and upside on a popular, settled bungalow street. Early viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the full scope of what's on offer.

The Local Area
Grimsby is a port town on the south bank of the Humber estuary in North East Lincolnshire, historically one of the world's largest fishing ports and now built more around food processing, logistics and offshore wind. Revesby Avenue sits within the DN34 postcode area, on a run of streets including Laceby Road, Gloucester Avenue and Bargate, a settled, largely residential part of town.

Getting around
Grimsby Town and Grimsby Docks stations serve the town. TransPennine Express runs an hourly service from Cleethorpes (calling at Grimsby Town) through to Liverpool Lime Street via Doncaster, Sheffield and Manchester. East Midlands Railway runs a two-hourly service towards Lincoln, Nottingham and beyond, and towards Barton-on-Humber, and there's a once-daily Northern service to Sheffield. By road, the A180 runs out to the M180 at around 15 miles, giving onward access to the M18 and the wider motorway network, while the A46 heads towards Lincoln and the A16 towards Louth. Stagecoach runs the local bus network, with its main hub at Riverhead Exchange in the town centre.

Distances (approximate, by car):
• Cleethorpes: 3 miles / 8 minutes
• Scunthorpe: 27.4 miles / 29 minutes
• Hull: 33 miles / 36 minutes (via the A15 and the Humber Bridge, which is tolled)
• Lincoln: 36.3 miles / 50 minutes


Green space and things to do
People's Park, south of the town centre, has a lake with waterfowl, a cricket pitch, the Floral Halls, an aviary, a bandstand and a children's play area. Weelsby Woods is a larger area of mature woodland and open grassland, around 127 acres in all, known locally for the lion statues at its entrance and a memorial to Wojtek the bear, who was stationed there with Polish forces after the war. Cleethorpes, with its beach and seafront, is a short drive away for a day out.


Schools
Laceby Acres Primary Academy, on Swiftsure Crescent, was rated Good by Ofsted in June 2024 and sits within the same DN34 postcode sector. Ormiston Maritime Academy, on Westward Ho, also DN34, was rated Good by Ofsted in July 2022 and is the nearest secondary option. Catchment for either should be confirmed with North East Lincolnshire Council rather than assumed from proximity.
