Homes in Weston-super-Mare
Weston-super-Mare grew rapidly as a Victorian resort, and the slopes of Worlebury Hill are lined with grand stone villas, many now divided into flats. The town centre and streets behind the seafront have Victorian and Edwardian terraces and guest houses, with stone typically from local limestone quarries.
Milton and Uphill have inter-war and post-war family homes, while Worle, Locking Castle and the area around junction 21 of the M5 have extensive modern estates. Haywood Village and Locking Parklands are newer large developments. Much of the town sits on low-lying ground behind sea defences, so tidal flood risk is an important consideration, and the clay soils of the moors can cause movement. Grand Pier and the seafront attractions draw visitors year round, and several former seafront hotels have been converted into apartments and care homes.
Areas we cover include Worle, Uphill, Milton, Kewstoke, Locking, Haywood Village.
