Large family residence near village, station and beach.
Very large overall size — generous rooms throughout
This detached dormer bungalow occupies an exceptionally large footprint with generous reception rooms and a double garage, positioned on the shore side of Birkdale close to the village, station and beach. The accommodation includes a porch, large living room, garden room, conservatory, kitchen/breakfast room, three bedrooms and two shower rooms across two levels — suitable for family living or downsizing without stairs on the main floor.
The property benefits from gas central heating, uPVC double glazing and solar panels (installed 2004), plus mature planted borders and a paved driveway. The long lease (999 years from 1866) leaves around 840 years remaining and the annual ground rent is nominal at £2.60, which is a practical advantage for buyers seeking a long-term leasehold.
The house needs general updating and some renovation: interiors and gardens are tired, and the walls are solid brick with assumed lack of modern insulation. Council Tax is Band G and running costs should be budgeted accordingly. No onward chain makes this a straightforward purchase for a buyer willing to modernise.
For a family or buyer wanting space close to amenities and transport, this home offers immediate usability with clear scope to add value through improvement works, garden re‑landscaping and internal refurbishment.
