Forest Edge is a custom-built, super-prime home set against ancient pine woodlands on one of Formby’s most prestigious lanes. At around 8,460 sq ft across three levels, it delivers grand, light-filled living spaces — including a soaring atrium, cinema suite, and extensive terrace — designed for formal entertaining and comfortable family life. High-end systems (Control4 smart automation, whole-house underfloor heating, sprinkler and CCTV) and premium fittings are specified throughout.
All six bedrooms are ensuite and include generous walk-in dressing rooms; the layout also provides practical family support with a first-floor laundry, separate utility, and multiple reception rooms. Upper-level leisure spaces include a games room, gymnasium and study, creating clear live-work and play zones for a multi-generational household. Outside, gated in-and-out access, a double garage, large lawn and a porcelain terrace sit on a very large plot backing directly onto open woodland.
Important practical points: the property sits in Council Tax Band H, so running costs will be high; the house is very large, which brings increased maintenance and servicing obligations. The EPC is B (good) but not top-rated for a house of this scale. The woodland backdrop gives excellent privacy and scenic views but may bring seasonal leaf fall, wildlife and additional garden upkeep.
This home suits a family or household seeking privacy, space and high-spec living in an affluent, well-served area with strong local schools. It offers turnkey luxury and significant lifestyle appeal, provided buyers are comfortable with the ongoing costs and maintenance that a property of this size demands.
