Southport Old Road, Formby, L37

Recently repositioned to £1.1m -- Exceptional Value for Scale, Land and Lifestyle!

Set back from the road and surrounded by its own land, Avalon occupies a private farmhouse setting with generous internal proportions and open countryside views from all aspects, while remaining conveniently located on the edge of Formby village.

A home designed for real life
Extending to approximately 4616 sq ft, Avalon offers a substantial layout capable of accommodating a variety of living arrangements.

Whether you are:
• a family requiring space and flexibility
• a multi generational household
• a buyer considering annexe potential
• an equestrian buyer seeking land and facilities
• or a purchaser seeking land and outbuildings

The accommodation allows for adaptation rather than a fixed arrangement.

One of Avalon’s key strengths is its flexibility. The size and connection of the rooms allow scope to alter the layout over time, including the potential for additional bedroom accommodation or a ground floor suite, annex or separate living accommodation.

Reception space and character

Avalon provides four reception spaces, all of good size and benefiting from rural views.

The main lounge features Rhodesian teak parquet flooring and a wood burning stove set within a fireplace constructed by the owner using an oak beam and shaped surrounds.

Heart of the home

The orangery, constructed in brick and solid wood, forms a central reception space and is suitable for year round use. It benefits from three automatic roof windows and underfloor heating and provides views across the walled garden.

The kitchen is well proportioned and functional, fitted with Corian worktops, underfloor heating and a Velux roof window. A adjacent boot room and ground floor WC both benefit from underfloor heating. Solar panels are connected to the underfloor heating system.

A second ground floor WC and a utility room with double Belfast sink add to the practical arrangement of the house. The utility also includes a laundry chute (which can be reinstated) and a rear door opening directly to the garden. A games room / craft room sits adjacent to the utility room with an additional vestibule. Taken together these rooms provide clear potential to form a ground floor suite or more self contained annex accommodation.

Internal finishes include doors, floors and fittings predominantly formed from Douglas fir. The entrance hallway features a quarry tiled floor, original wooden staircase and original internal doors.

Bedroom accommodation
The principal bedroom is triple aspect with open countryside views and includes an en suite bathroom and a walk in wardrobe currently also used as an office.

The second bedroom is a good sized double with countryside views. The third bedroom is generous and benefits from a large en-suite, which could also be arranged as a fourth bedroom, with potential Jack and Jill bathroom.

The owners have confirmed that any disability specific adaptations will be rectified upon completion, allowing a purchaser to reconfigure the accommodation to suit their own requirements.

Outside land views and lifestyle

Avalon sits within approximately 2.34 acres across two plots, providing a private setting with open outlooks.

The rear garden is fully walled and includes extensive Yorkshire stone paving, a circular brick shed and an outdoor kitchen area with pizza oven, electrics and outdoor speakers.

Beyond the garden the land extends to paddocks and outbuildings including a double stable block and tack room, suitable for equestrian or smallholding use.

A double garage includes a studio area above with Velux roof window, offering additional ancillary space and development potential for an entirely separate living space or Airbnb opportunity.

The property is served by a septic tank with soakaway.

The surrounding Cheshire Lines lanes provide access to quiet routes for walking cycling and riding.

Rural setting Formby convenience
Despite its rural position, the property is located on the edge of Formby and within short walking distance of The Sparrowhawk public house, Formby Driving Range and Formby Hall Golf Resort and gym.

Formby village, schools, transport links and coastline are all readily accessible.

A home with character and scope
Avalon will appeal to purchasers seeking land, space and flexibility, and who recognise the opportunity to improve and personalise a property of this scale and standing.

Avalon is offered with the opportunity to shape its next phase of ownership.
