Homes in Morecambe
Morecambe is a seaside resort on Morecambe Bay, known for its views across to the Lake District fells. Victorian and Edwardian terraces and former guest houses line the seafront and the streets behind it, many converted into flats. The art deco Midland Hotel is the town's architectural landmark.
Bare and Torrisholme are popular suburbs with inter-war semis and bungalows, while Westgate has more modern housing. Heysham combines an old village with stone cottages and newer estates near the port and power stations. Bolton-le-Sands and Hest Bank are sought-after villages along the bay. The flat, low-lying coastline is protected by sea defences, but storm surges and wind remain a factor. Regeneration plans for the seafront, including the Eden Project Morecambe proposal, have raised interest in the town.
Areas we cover include Heysham, Bare, Torrisholme, Westgate, Bolton-le-Sands, Hest Bank.
