Classy makeover to splendid old property gives boost to streetscape on Cleethorpes seafront

                                           

Woodliffe Villa - looking better than it has done in many a long year

No 41, Alexandra Road, also known as Woodliffe Villa, Cleethorpes is the latest building to receive a facelift as a result of Townscape Heritage funding.

Work started in March this year to conserve and restore the front facade of this Grade II listed building.

The property is split into two – a shop on the ground floor and a residential property above.

Built from red brick with a Welsh slate roof, the building also has a single cast iron balcony dating from around 1900 which has been stripped, restored, and returned.

Based on the research by The Scottish Ironwork Foundation, this balcony is by George Wright & Co & Lion Foundry of Kirkintilloch and it is believed to be the only example of its kind to have survived.

                                                   

Some sprucing up still required but the front door looks great
