I'd be glad to have that gravel too.  I really dislike the weekly summer grind of mowing both of my quite small lawns.

Op, don’t go on the personal views on here - the important facts is the viewings and subsequent offers. If you’re not getting either, then the property is overpriced for the current market, regardless of whether you’re looking at a cash or mortgage buying. Each will want value.

Looking at the current market, the prices aren’t going up in the short term.

I couldn’t find your house on google street view. Found 91, not yours at 93. Some people have a short attention span.

It's tucked away a bit: https://goo.gl/maps/LcXoa2oFnoBieHZU9

but I agree too many listings have the Streetview link taking you to completely the wrong place.

Yes, I thought that was the house, from that view you have a roof! Compare that to the EA handy work.

You know what, that almost ticks all my boxes. Corner plot, hospital, supermarkets, a museum, a library, a beach, a train station. A nature reserve. What more do people want.

The first photo doesn’t make it clear that it’s a detached property (I know the listing states detached, but ‘a picture paints a thousand words’)

Have you ever been to Brid?
Which? magazine's recent (2019) survey ranking Britain’s seaside resorts has said Bridlington is one of the worst in the country, scoring lower than Blackpool.
By contrast other coastal towns on the Yorkshire coast such as Whitby and Filey scored highly.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder…….. or something like that 😆

The coast is so varied isn't it.  I'm in the NE, and when my husband died, I hoped to stay coastal but further south.  After lots of research I went  house hunting in Broadstairs/Margate/Ramsgate in Kent and Exmouth in Devon.  I didn't have a big enough budget for the area I wanted in either county.   

Was interesting to see how nice Dreamland/Margate looked in the recent Empire of Light film.
