This extended four-bedroom detached house occupies an exceptionally large footprint (circa 2,930 sqft) and is arranged over multiple levels to suit an active family lifestyle. The recent high-spec extension creates a bright, open-plan kitchen/diner/lounge with a large skylight and island, plus two additional formal lounges and a useful separate study. The property backs directly onto Southport & Birkdale Sports Club Ground and is a short walk from Royal Birkdale Golf Course and Birkdale Village — excellent for outdoor family activities.
Accommodation is generous throughout: four large bedrooms, a principal en-suite, a four-piece family bathroom, and two spacious landings (one used as a seating area). Practical features include a utility room, downstairs WC, ample built-in storage, large driveway parking for multiple cars, and a detached garage that currently serves as a study. The landscaped rear garden offers several entertainment areas and direct views over the adjacent sports fields.
Important facts and likely costs: the house dates from the early 20th century (c.1900–1929) and the cavity walls are assumed to be without added insulation — upgrading insulation and other period-property maintenance may be needed. The EPC rating is D and the property falls in council tax band G, so running costs will be higher than average. There is no flood risk and local crime levels are very low.
For families seeking space, light and proximity to good schools and recreational amenities, this is a rare, substantial detached home in an affluent area. Buyers should budget for period-property upkeep and for energy-efficiency improvements to optimise long-term running costs.
