Homes in Fleetwood
Fleetwood was planned in the 1830s by Decimus Burton for Sir Peter Hesketh-Fleetwood, and its centre retains elegant early Victorian buildings, including the North Euston Hotel and lighthouses. The town grew as a fishing port, and terraced houses fill the streets around the docks and town centre.
Larkholme and Broadwater have post-war and later estates, while Rossall offers larger homes near the coast. Cleveleys and Thornton, close by, have inter-war semis and bungalows. Fleetwood sits on a low-lying peninsula and has a history of tidal flooding, including a major event in 1977, and sea defences protect much of the town. Brick terraces with slate roofs are the norm in the older streets, and many fishermen's houses are small and have been extended to the rear. Fleetwood's prices are among the lowest on the Fylde coast, which attracts first-time buyers and landlords, and the regeneration of the docks area has added newer homes.
Areas we cover include Larkholme, Broadwater, Rossall, Cleveleys, Thornton.
