Set in the sought-after coastal village of Hightown, this spacious four-bedroom detached home blends period character with family-friendly living. Built in 1913, the property retains original parquet flooring, bay windows and a feature fireplace while offering practical updates including a new boiler (2024). The house sits on a large mature plot with extensive gardens, a conservatory and an outdoor swimming pool — ideal for summer entertaining and flexible family use.
The ground floor flows well for everyday family life: a formal living room, flexible second reception that works as a family room or home office, kitchen with breakfast bar, utility and a large living/dining area opening into the conservatory. French doors lead straight out to the pool and garden, creating a strong indoor–outdoor connection. Upstairs the principal suite includes an ensuite shower and walk-in dressing room, joined by three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Practical positives include a private gated driveway, single garage, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for commuters and home workers. It’s a short walk to Hightown train station for a direct link to Liverpool, and close to the beach and village amenities. There’s also scope to extend subject to planning, offering longer-term value for a growing family.
Notable points to consider: the property is leasehold with 885 years remaining and a small ground rent (£13). Constructed in the early 1900s, some period fabric will need ongoing maintenance and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so buyers should factor in potential improvement costs. The outdoor pool and large gardens are attractive but require regular upkeep and may add to running costs. Council tax banding is high.
