Homes in Lytham St Annes
Lytham St Annes is one of the most affluent towns in Lancashire, combining the old village of Lytham with the Victorian planned resort of St Annes. Lytham has Georgian and Victorian buildings around its green and windmill, with large villas and terraces along the seafront and in conservation areas. St Annes has grand Victorian and Edwardian homes laid out on a planned grid.
Ansdell and Fairhaven offer Edwardian and inter-war semis and detached houses, popular with families and retirees. Royal Lytham and St Annes golf club anchors the area's prestige. Coastal weather and low-lying ground near the Ribble estuary are factors to consider. Many Victorian and Edwardian houses here are brick with decorative render and timber detailing, and large detached homes on generous plots have often been extended over several decades, so the age and quality of each phase can vary. Flats in converted villas are common near the seafront.
Areas we cover include Lytham, St Annes, Ansdell, Fairhaven.
