Five UK Properties Near Swimming Venues Listed for Sale
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. The listings include homes in Plymouth, London, Fife, and Dorset, each situated close to notable swimming venues.
In Plymouth, Devon, a Grade II-listed four-storey townhouse in the Plymouth Hoe conservation area is on the market for £925,000. The property features a lower-ground-floor apartment, courtyard garden, and double garage, and 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.
Two London properties are included in the listings. A two-bedroom apartment on the 21st floor of the Woodberry Down development in Manor House is priced at £650,000. The flat offers views over two reservoirs used for sailing and open-water swimming, and 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, with 5,500 homes built over 20 years around water features and a nature reserve.
In Hampstead, a five-storey Victorian townhouse with four bedrooms is listed at £6.45 million. The property, which requires modernisation, features views of the Hampstead ponds and heath from the kitchen, balcony, and garden, and retains period features such as ornate cornicing and original fireplaces. The price difference between the Hampstead townhouse and the Woodberry Down apartment highlights ongoing affordability concerns in the UK property market.
In Scotland, a four-bedroom stone-built house on the shoreline in Cellardyke, Fife, is listed at £780,000. The property has a garden extending to the coastline and is located near the Cellardyke tidal pool, known locally as the Bathie, which features a mobile sauna and nearby cafes.
A four-bedroom converted granary in Litton Cheney, Dorset, is priced at £850,000. The property is near Litton Lakes campsite on the Jurassic Coast and 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.
These listings illustrate a segment of the UK property market where proximity to recreational water facilities is part of the property’s appeal, though pricing is primarily determined by location, property size, and condition.
