This grand Victorian detached house occupies approximately 0.29 acres in one of Formby’s most desirable roads. With over 3,250 sq ft across three floors, the property offers generous reception rooms, high ceilings, bay windows and plentiful period detail — ideal for a growing family seeking space and character. The substantial rear garden and double garage add practical outdoor living and storage options.
Internally the layout includes a lounge, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, utility, home office and ground-floor WC, with four double bedrooms and a principal en-suite on the first floor. The second floor provides two further bedrooms and clear potential to add a further bathroom subject to planning — helpful for large households or multi-generation use.
Notable positives include a large private plot, off-road parking, double garage, fast broadband availability, very low local crime and excellent nearby schools. The property is offered with no onward chain, meaning a quicker sale process for a buyer ready to proceed.
Buyers should note material points: the house is leasehold not freehold; constructed c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls (no built-in insulation assumed) and double glazing of unknown age, so thermal upgrades may be needed. There are currently two bathrooms for six bedrooms, and the interior will likely benefit from modernisation and possible electrical, heating or insulation improvements. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and any alterations to add bathrooms or convert attic space may require permissions.
