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

An exciting and interesting opportunity has arisen to purchase one of Morecambe’s most impressive period properties on prestigious Morecambe Terrace. This handsome sandstone mid terraced townhouse has abundant period features and offers extensive accommodation, in total over 5600 sq ft, set out over four floors. It is now ready for new owners to embrace the period features and undertake a refurbishment worthy of the style and statue of the property, bringing it gently into the 21st century and making it a house befitting modern day living.

The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance vestibule which leads into a large and striking hallway, two graceful reception rooms (one with ample room for a grand piano) and two further rooms, ideal as an office or playroom or possibly for incorporation into one large third reception room. There is a kitchen with domestic offices of utility, scullery, pantry and rear vestibule as well as a bathroom and two cloakrooms.

Rising to the first floor are six bedrooms and a bathroom. The second floor offers three rooms and additional under eaves storage space, with plenty more storage in the extensive cellars. Outside there is a delightful rear garden, well stocked and housing a greenhouse and a convenient outside cloakroom. There is pedestrian access to a generous single garage and along the front of the house is additional parking.

The views from the house are truly tremendous encompassing a panoramic sweep of coastline and bay, looking across to the impressive Lakeland mountains, especially stunning when there is snow on the tops. West facing, the property also enjoys some the most glorious of sunsets.

From its promenade Morecambe enjoys one of the finest views of any seaside town in England, a magnificent west facing panorama of coastline and bay, looking across to the Lakeland mountains. The town boasts some of the most stunning sunsets around which will may be fully appreciated from the setting of No.341.

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 where he stands in his famous pose and is ever popular with fans as they mimic his position for a photo. It is planned that the town will be the site for Eden Project Morecambe, an exciting new development which 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 pretty 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 busy city is vibrant with a captivating past, a cultured present and a full calendar of festivals and celebratory events throughout the year. There is a wide choice of bars and restaurants offering cuisine from around the world, 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.

Morecambe is well connected by road and rail. The Bay Gateway (A683) opened in 2016, connecting the M6 to Heysham it has reduced traveling times off the motorway to Morecambe as well. For train travel there are branch line stations in both Morecambe and Bare with regular services to Lancaster on the west coast main line, from here there are frequent services to Preston, Manchester, Manchester airport, London Euston and Edinburgh.

Enjoying a long-awaited revival, Morecambe is well connected and offers lots to see and do having an exciting future ahead with Eden Project Morecambe literally, on the horizon.

A period residence offering light filled accommodation that is generous in proportion with high ceilings and tall windows and indulgently rich in character. It also comes with an interesting history, for many decades it was a well-loved home for a local doctor who practiced, along with colleagues, in a surgery located on the ground floor. As a fascinating slice of social history, certain pieces remain from that time such as signage and a small dispensary. In years gone by there was not only a doctor on this terrace of properties but an optician and dentist too.

Times change and the house is now ready for the next generation to use the extensive and adaptable accommodation (over 5600 sq ft) as they require and put their own individual stamp on it – possibly as a fabulous family home with plenty of room for a growing family both inside and in the rear garden, or as a wonderful residence for a couple looking to work from home, entertain and thoroughly embrace the ample space. The property also has potential opportunities for commercial use as impressive offices or consulting rooms. It’s an imposing and instantly striking house that has been often admired by those walking past on the promenade. Viewed from the opposite angle, the aspect from the house of the promenade as you watch the world go by or the tide go in and out is equally impressive.
