Currently on sale for £3.25m or could let. Considering the location and the size of the land it sits on - actually a bargain!

On my walk around - pretty good condition - well maintained - doesn't actualy appear to show much of the concrete sickness that these old buildings exhibit either. Fabulous views. Possible to see the Welsh Mountains AND the Lake District AND the Isle of Man all at the same time

The irony of course is its the Land Registry!
When the jobs disappeared and moved to Warton - Little less employment - less money spent in the town Please buy it and stop this quirky '60's building being flattened! 

I bought my house from a lady who was an IT manager here!

Taken from the beach










From the rear carpark. These new houses are built on the site of the old Cooksons Bakery. I worked there for 3 years. There was a woman gesticulating wildly from one of the windows! What was I going to do? run off with it..... perhaps hopefully!









The front from the Warton end







East Beach from the carpark - the Windmill is visible from here. Quite wideangle - so things are a little closer.
