Five residential properties located near public swimming facilities across England and Scotland have been listed for sale, with prices ranging from £650,000 to £6.45 million.
In Plymouth, Devon, a Grade II-listed four-storey townhouse in the Plymouth Hoe conservation area has been listed at £925,000. The property, which includes a lower-ground-floor apartment, courtyard garden and double garage, is located near the Grade II-listed Tinside lido, a saltwater facility built in 1935. The townhouse overlooks a historic bowling green and is separated from the seafront by a promenade.
London market listings
Two properties in London feature in the listings. A two-bedroom apartment on the 21st floor of the Woodberry Down development in Manor House has been priced at £650,000. The flat, which has views over two reservoirs used for sailing and open-water swimming, includes an open-plan kitchen-dining-living room with a balcony. Woodberry Down is described as one of Europe’s largest single-site regeneration projects, comprising 5,500 homes built over a 20-year period around water features and a nature reserve.
In Hampstead, a five-storey Victorian townhouse with four bedrooms has been listed at £6.45 million. The property, which requires modernisation according to the listing agent, features views of the Hampstead ponds and heath from the kitchen, balcony and garden. The house retains period features including ornate cornicing and original fireplaces.
The pricing disparity between London properties and those in other regions reflects ongoing affordability concerns across UK property markets, with the Hampstead listing nearly ten times the price of the Woodberry Down apartment despite both being in the capital.
Scottish and Dorset properties
In Cellardyke, Fife, a four-bedroom stone-built house on the shoreline has been listed at £780,000. The property features a garden extending to the coastline and is located near the Cellardyke tidal pool, known locally as the Bathie, which has a mobile sauna and nearby cafes.
A four-bedroom converted granary in Litton Cheney, Dorset, has been priced at £850,000. The property, located near Litton Lakes campsite on the Jurassic Coast, includes a back garden with a spring-fed lake, vegetable plot, timber shed and greenhouse. The house features exposed timber beams and arches in the sitting room.
The listings represent a segment of the UK property market where proximity to recreational water facilities forms part of the property’s appeal, though pricing remains primarily determined by location, property size and condition.
