Summary - 62 GORES LANE FORMBY LIVERPOOL L37 3NZ
3 bed 2 bath Detached Bungalow
Charming corner plot with gated parking and wrap-around gardens.
Detached three-bedroom thatched cottage with original oak beams
Ivy Cottage is a rare, characterful three-bedroom detached thatched cottage on a substantial corner plot in Formby. The house combines original features — exposed oak beams and a traditional thatch — with practical, modern fittings including an en-suite and a contemporary family bathroom. The open-plan lounge and dining room, centred around a multi-fuel burner, makes an inviting family hub or an elegant space for entertaining.
Outdoor space is a clear strength: wrap-around gardens capture sun throughout the day and an electrically gated paved driveway provides secure off-street parking for several vehicles. The property sits within easy walking distance of Formby village, the train station and highly regarded primary and secondary schools, making daily life convenient for families or those wanting single-level living.
Buyers should be aware of material considerations. The thatched roof and the cottage’s age imply ongoing specialist maintenance and potentially higher insurance or repair costs. Council Tax Band E is above average. The house is well maintained but, as with many period homes, there may be constraints on alterations and unforeseen repair needs that come with historic fabric.
Overall, Ivy Cottage will suit purchasers seeking a distinctive, comfortable home in a very desirable Formby location — ideal for families, downsizers or buyers wanting a character property within easy reach of local amenities. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the character and plan for any required upkeep.
