New Houses for Sale Blackpool

A famous seaside resort on the north-west coast of England, Blackpool has been a popular destination for generations. The Blackpool Tower, built in 1894, offers stunning views across the Irish Sea from its glass viewing platform. It also houses the Tower Ballroom - a well-known and much-loved dancing venue, re-popularised more recently with the BBC show, Strictly Come Dancing. Not forgetting of course the annual Illuminations that draw visitors from far and wide each September to January. It’s no surprise that houses for sale in Blackpool are very popular.
