If you’re one of the many who have reassessed their lifestyles over the last couple of years and are thinking that coastal living could be the thing for you, check out Bridlington.
Step away from the beach, and head to the Old Town: if it looks familiar, it’s because it doubled as Walmington-on-Sea in the 2016 film Dad’s Army, starring Toby Jones and Bill Nighy. The town has taken the movie to its heart – you can follow a Dad’s Army Trail – but look beyond the limelight to the fascinating history of the area.
On the outskirts of the town, Sewerby Hall is something of a hidden gem, much loved by the locals and those who discover it. Also Grade I listed, its earlier sections dates back to the earlier 1700s, but it was added to throughout the 19th century and recently restored to its glory days as an Edwardian country home. Displays include a permanent exhibition dedicated to the great Hull-born aviatrix Amy Johnson, who officiated when the Hall was first opened to the public in 1936.
Prices over the 12 months have averaged just under £160,000 for semi-detached properties, and around £250,000 for detached. And there are some real bargains out there if you like a good old-fashioned terrace – they average out at £125,000 to £130,000. And yes, it needs some work – quite a bit of work, actually – but if you’re a dab hand at DIY and looking to get on the property ladder, you can currently snap up a one-bedroom flat just a stone’s throw from the sea for the bargain price of £33,000.Martyn Coltman is vice chair of several regeneration forums and The Bridlington Regeneration Partnership. He also manages and curates The Old Town Gallery and Information Point and is a self-employed graphic designer.
