Spacious 1928 detached home on 0.31-acre south garden, ripe for renovation.
Prestigious Formby road with golf-course frontage
Set on one of Formby’s most prestigious roads, this 1928 detached country house sits on a substantial 0.31-acre freehold plot overlooking the golf course. With around 2,800 sq ft of accommodation, the home retains original features — high ceilings, parquet flooring and leaded stained glass — and offers generous reception rooms, a breakfast kitchen, four bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The property is a strong proposition for a family seeking space, privacy and south-facing gardens, or for someone planning a sympathetic renovation to create a bespoke residence. Practical benefits include a carriage driveway, extensive parking and a double garage. The layout affords clear scope to extend, reconfigure or modernise subject to planning.
Buyers should note the house needs renovation: heating is mains-gas boiler to radiators, glazing is older double glazing, cavity walls are uninsulated (as built) and broadband speeds are slow. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These are factual considerations for budgeting works and running costs.
For buyers prioritising location, plot and period character, this property offers an unusually large garden and excellent schools nearby, presenting long-term upside once updated.
