Description

Presenting a unique opportunity to transform a property into an exceptional residence in a highly desirable area near Formby beach. This extensive plot, covering approximately 2 acres (0.80 hectares), comes with approved planning for the construction of a single dwelling. Prospective buyers can choose between two architectural designs—either a contemporary or traditional style—each offering around 13,500 square feet of living space. The existing structure, along with outbuildings, is slated for demolition, allowing for a fresh start and tailored landscaping to suit your vision. The planning approval notice (Reference No. DC/2017/00543) facilitates this project, paving the way for potential customization that aligns with today’s modern preferences while also respecting traditional aesthetics. Nestled within a tranquil woodland environment adjacent to The National Trust Nature Reserve, Greenloons Farm boasts not only natural beauty but also proximity to Formby beach—a mere short distance away. The property is conveniently located just one mile from the charming village of Formby, which features an array of dining options and eclectic shops, alongside more offerings in nearby Birkdale Village just 6 miles to the south. Educational opportunities are robust in this area, with several well-regarded primary and secondary schools located within a few miles. Notably, prestigious private schools such as St Mary’s Crosby and Merchant Taylors are also within reach. For sports enthusiasts and nature lovers alike, the location is ideal; it’s positioned near top-notch golf courses like Formby Golf Club (0.6 miles away) and provides easy access to both Liverpool FC and Everton FC facilities. Accessibility is another significant advantage of this site. It lies conveniently close to major transport routes leading to Southport (8 miles), Liverpool (14 miles), and other key areas in the North West. Public transport options are available via Formby station and Freshfield railway station—approximately 0.7 miles and 1.8 miles from the property—offering train services toward Liverpool city center and Southport. Furthermore, for those needing air travel options, Liverpool John Lennon Airport is about 20 miles away—an approximate 35-minute drive—and Manchester Airport is located roughly 44 miles away (about 55 minutes by car). RAF Woodvale for smaller aircraft use is just 2 miles down the road. In summary, this property presents an exceptional potential for renovation or redevelopment within an exclusive setting, making it an intriguing investment prospect for discerning buyers looking to create their dream home or capitalize on future value
