So many questions-like where’s the sex dungeon, why so many chairs in the bedroom?

@JacobReesMogadishu because you are comparing apples to oranges.
Some areas are deprived yes, but the town and indeed the whole Fylde Coast has lovely areas too. You're not going to pay the same for a grotty bedsit right in the town centre as you would for a large detached (if dated) house outside of the town.

@JacobReesMogadishu you posted two links that you must have googled.
@Dita73 well said.

I think part of the problem is that you keep saying it’s in Blackpool. Or that Lytham is next to an airport.

The disused airport is in South Shore, Blackpool and backs onto a non residential part of St Annes. Lytham is totally unaffected by it.

It’s not in Blackpool. And the areas of Blackpool that are socially deprived will not be visited by the overwhelming majority of St Annes and Lytham residents. They have no need to go there. There are plenty of shops, supermarkets etc away from there...two Booths for example, Stringers Department Store. The local schools are very good. Lots of millionaires in that area.

As others have pointed out, even in Blackpool itself there are areas like Stanley Park, Preston New Road, and the Hospital area where houses are over £1 million. There are also places like Poulton Le Fylde on the outskirts that are fairly middle class. Again, very different from Blackpool even though geographically close.

I lived in Chiswick. Two streets away was Shepherd’s Bush. Couldn’t have been more different from a demographic point of view. In my street, I was rubbing shoulders with Colin Firth and lots of Theatre and TV executives. When I first moved there I was having trouble getting my phone line connected and ventured two streets in the wrong direction to a phone box in a rough part of Shepherd’s Bush where I was attacked and left utterly terrified. Drug addicts and dealers everywhere. It was a ten minute walk.

The Central Drive area of Blackpool and the start of St Annes are a good 40 minute walk away from each other, to put things in perspective...

It is very 70s .

It looks to me like it was once some sort of private members club (aka knocking shop) or a social club, definitely licenced premises rather than a private home . That would explain the hideous carpets that won’t show stains, the dressing room style bedroom (for the turns) and the hideous front drive area. Not attractive but plenty of room for parking.

It would be a challenge to do it up but it has massive potential. But for me that NW coast is too far from family and too cold so I’ll pass. It also seems overpriced for the area?

Don't know the local area but I'm assuming you're paying for the seafront location?

It's a total "gut it and start from scratch" scenario though. It's not my style AT ALL, even with the gutting. Too square, too much concrete. Would rather spend my 600k elsewhere!

I feel sad that it's someone's much loved home. The end of a glamorous era.

It's not in Blackpool. It's Lytham St Anne's which is quite expensive. Agree it's an eye sore though

It looks like an old bowling club. I can't even comment on the inside...

I love the fact that "highly deceptive" is listed at the very top of the list of key features. Deception is always the first thing I look for in a home.

@FakeFraudSquad has explained it well. Lytham st Anne's is very pretty and lots of rich people live there.

Cheers Treacletoots. I keep thinking about changing it, but it fits every occasion.
Blimey, this has blown up from an insomnia post.

Each picture has an exciting new surprise! What a gift! Thanks OP!

Awful. The carpets! The easy chair in the kitchen! The house looks like it's been plonked down from outer space on a sea of concrete. You'd have a permanent headache if you lived there with all those awful clashing colours...

I loved that OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow. I like the idea that an entertainer lived there. So much money and love must have been spent on it originally - those carpets are still so 😎. It would make a great film set. I don’t know why people think it is expensive (not that I could afford to buy it) but the house itself is really large and detached (all that paving), plus it give ownership of the dunes opposite.

I think the California mid century look would be great if the new owners want to ditch the 1970s dubious party look. I hope the new owner loves it. It’s sad to think it might be pulled down and replaced by a block of flats.

that's it on streetview, if you swing round the dunes are quite high, certainly no sea view. The houses nearby are very different, the neighbour with the big glazed window on the top floor has the right idea - make the most of the views.

As a largeish plot there's lot of potential to do something amazing. But that wouldn't involve keeping ANY of the existing structure.

It will be a block of retirement flats thus time next year.

What a horrid thread. OP, I hope you have had a good laugh and tremendous satisfaction at poking fun of someone else’s home.. You have been on these types of threads before?
Actually reading the points, it has been cared for, obviously someone spent a lot of money on it.

It could be bought by Wetherspoons. They would not need to change the carpet.

I actually LOVE this! Yeah, it needs a bit of a tidy, of course...but so would anywhere you buy that isn't brand new. I love that it's clearly so well loved, and that the owners have put their own unique stamp all over it...you can see how wonderfully preserved their style is...how they haven't given a flying fuck what anyone else thinks over the years! And good for them I say 🤷‍♀️

The armchair and TV by the warm Aga could be the end of a lovely journey I imagine...an elderly person enjoying the warmth of the stove, which I find quite comforting actually 😊

The carpets, the carpets! That rose covered one.......

Is Lytham a bit like “Hove actually”?

I imagine you could fit more than one house in that space.

The wooden ceiling would make me feel like I had to duck all the time...... no thanks!

There's no photo of the view, so I'm assuming the view is not good? Why would you build a glass house if it didn't have good views?

Truly the ugliest property I have ever seen. And no garden whatsoever, just paying slabs. I have never been to the area, but that seems a massive price for something that needs to be knocked down and rebuilt
