Very spacious architect designed 5 bedroom detached U-shaped house with large private garden and double garage.

In the downstairs area, this house has a kitchen, two lounges, one with a large open plan dining area and both with open fires, a study/music room, a shower/wc and two porches which provide space for washing machine, wine racks and cloakroom storage.

Off the bright and open upstairs landing are a family bathroom, a separate w/c, a large double guest bedroom, a further single bedroom and at the end the large master bedroom with ensuite and separate wardrobe area. To the right are two further bedrooms, one a single with built in wardrobes and one a double with its own private wash basin.

A special feature is the vast and light attic space which has been carpeted and decorated and has been used mostly by children as a den with a snooker table and railway set. The attic also provides a huge amount of storage space, and has full standing room; the floor joists are strengthened to allow for full use. The attic has plenty of natural light with three Velux windows and has been fitted with electric lights for evenings and electric sockets. This area covers the whole of the house and provides room for further development. Access is by loft-ladder, but a spiral staircase could easily be installed.

The outside area around the front of the house is part paved and part laid with stone chippings. Up to 5 cars could be parked on the drive and there is also a double garage. Access can be gained round the back through a lockable gate to a coal bunker and a shed. This leads on to the garden which is in excess of 1/4 acre. There is currently a 'wendy house' in the far left corner and a further shed in the far right hand corner. The garden has some beautiful flowers and mature trees. There is a large sheltered south facing patio area which can be accessed by sliding doors from both lounge areas. This is a natural suntrap, is paved with York stone and has a pond with water features.

The garage (which has upstairs storage space) can be accessed by door from the back garden and attached to this is a store and workshop.

Highly fuel efficient with double glazing, cavity wall insulation and under floor and inloft insulation.

The property was built in 1983, of dark brick with contrasting features. The house is in good decorative order and has some great features. There are some rooms which some might prefer to refurbish to provide a more contemporary feel such as the main family bathroom and kitchen. The price has been discounted to reflect this and for a quick sale without a chain.

The house is located down a semi-private road with one other house next door. It is a 5 minute walk from Formby village and 10 minute walk to both Freshfield and Formby stations. There are good local schools and excellent private education nearby. There is a beach and National Trust pinewoods (with red squirrel reserve) in easy reach. There are two golf clubs, a tennis club, swimming pool and a variety of bars and restaurants in this town.
