This detached three-bedroom family home on Firs Crescent is offered as a blank canvas on a substantial 0.17-acre west-facing plot. Arranged over two floors and extending to about 1,600 sq ft, the layout includes an entrance hall with full-height windows, lounge, separate dining room, kitchen with garden access, ground-floor WC, three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Driveway parking and an integral single garage complete the practical footprint.
The property requires significant refurbishment throughout — both internal modernisation and external maintenance are likely. The front garden is overgrown, external render/paintwork needs attention, and the glazing appears older despite double glazing being present. Buyers should expect an extensive renovation project; the building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and shows the typical scope for updates to heating, electrics and finishes.
Where this home stands out is its plot and position. The large, west-facing rear garden offers space for landscaping, a substantial rear extension or reconfiguration (subject to planning), and the setting in Formby (L37) makes the site attractive for long-term value uplift. No onward chain and freehold tenure make the purchase straightforward for a buyer ready to start works.
Practical details: mains gas central heating, cavity wall construction (no known insulation), fast local broadband, low local crime and no flood risk. Council tax is listed as expensive — budget for holding costs during any refurbishment. This will suit a buyer wanting to create a bespoke family home or an investor/developer seeking a measurable renovation opportunity in an affluent suburb.
