343 Marine Road Central, Morecambe, LA4 5AB - Matthews Benjamin

An opportunity to complete the restoration of one of one of Morecambe’s most impressive period properties on prestigious Morecambe Terrace. Grade II Listed and dating back to the early to mid 1800s this is a rare and exciting opportunity to create a truly exceptional home. Stripped back to a shell, the property provides an almost blank canvas for a full renovation, inviting new owners to design and finish the interiors to their own specification and taste.

Set across four floors and extending to around 2369 sq ft (220 sq m) the property boasts generous proportions throughout, with high ceilings and large windows offering superb natural light and period charm.

The accommodation briefly comprises a shared entrance vestibule, two large rooms on the ground floor, on the first floor off the landing there are two double bedrooms and potential for a bathroom, the second floor provides another two double bedrooms and potential for a cloakroom. An enclosed set of stairs leads to the extraordinary roof terrace from where there are 360 degree views. The lower ground floor comprises two rooms. Externally there is an area to the rear which could be landscaped to provide a seating area. At the front is a small foregarden and car parking. There is also a unique roof terrace with incredible 360 degree views.

The west facing views from the house are truly tremendous encompassing a panoramic sweep of coastline and bay, looking across to the impressive Lakeland fells, the orientation also ensures the house commands glorious sunsets.

Properties of this scale and potential are increasingly rare. Ideal for developers or private buyers seeking a unique project, this is a property not to be missed.

As well as the promenade and an impressive stone jetty, there are also lovely sandy beaches together with festivals and activities during the year. There are several local landmarks, one being the Grade II* Listed 1930s’ Midland Hotel, an art-deco masterpiece that is a popular choice for a traditional afternoon tea, a special occasion dinner or a glass of something chilled as you admire the setting sun across the bay. Other places of interest are the Grade II* Listed Winter Gardens (whilst the theatre was closed to the public in 1977 it is open seasonally for tours and for the occasional production) and the Eric Morecambe statue on the promenade. The exciting new Eden Project Morecambe hopes to start construction soon; it will be situated on the central promenade with the Winter Gardens and Midland Hotel as near neighbours.

Bordering Morecambe and linked by the promenade you’ll find the picturesque seaside village of Heysham, itself boasting lovely coastal walks, tea shops and a popular pub. Morecambe is very much aligned to Lancaster, one of England’s Heritage Cities where impressive Georgian stone façades hark back to a heyday as an important port. The vibrant city has a calendar full of festivals and celebratory events throughout the year. There is a wide choice of cafes, bars and restaurants, an excellent range of high street and independent shops centered around a pedestrianised area and a comprehensive provision of professional services, two universities and good healthcare provision with both private and NHS hospitals in the city. Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity to the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland, all within easy reach.

Commuting is easy, there are branch line stations in both Morecambe and Bare, with regular services to Lancaster station on the main west coast line. From Lancaster there are regular services to Preston, Manchester, Manchester airport, London Euston and Edinburgh. The nearby M6 motorway provides quick access to the north west and the rest of the country, making Morecambe both well-connected and conveniently located.

Outside at the front is a small foregarden and parking. To the rear is an area which could be landscaped to provide a seating area. The 360 degree views from the roof terrace are breathtaking – a fascinating vista of chimney pots, roof tops, church spires, the town hall, Lakeland fells and wide sweeping coastline.
