Description

Discover a remarkable opportunity in Blundellsands with this expansive property, set on a 0.75-acre plot and offering nearly 12,000 sq ft of living space. Originally designed as a luxurious six-bedroom family home, the property has undergone various transformations, including its recent use as a nunnery, which adds to its unique character and versatility. With 15 bedrooms and 16 bathrooms currently configured, it presents an excellent canvas for redevelopment into different uses—ranging from a luxury care home or sheltered accommodation to bespoke apartments, all subject to necessary planning approvals. The grounds feature electric gates for added security, alongside a generous driveway and landscaped front garden. The rear yard is equally inviting, boasting a secluded oasis lined with trees, expansive lawns, mature borders, and even a detached summer house—all ideal settings for outdoor activities or relaxation. Entering through the grand hallway reveals spacious interiors that enhance accessibility across three floors with the aid of a wheelchair-accessible lift. The ground floor layout is designed for flexibility, containing multiple reception rooms suitable for communal or private use. Four office spaces overlooking the garden could easily be adapted back into bedrooms if desired. Additional practical features include several W/Cs, a spacious kitchenette, an extensive storage area, and an integral garage connected to laundry facilities. One particularly intriguing aspect of this property is the hidden indoor swimming pool beneath one of the office areas—a unique feature that offers potential for restoration back to its original function or repurposing in line with future development plans. On the first floor are seven more en-suite bedrooms and additional communal facilities that extend the adaptability of this space. The upper level features what could be considered an apartment-style setup with two bedrooms and a living room equipped with a kitchenette—perfect for guests or staff quarters. Situated in one of Liverpool's most desirable neighborhoods, this property is within easy reach of West Lancashire Golf Club and scenic Crosby Beach—known for Antony Gormley’s iconic "Another Place" sculptures. Accessibility is also enhanced by Hall Road train station nearby providing transport links to Liverpool City Centre and Southport, making it convenient for both residents and visitors alike. This property not only stands as an impressive residence but also represents significant investment potential. Whether you envision restoring it to its luxurious origins as a family home or converting it into contemporary living spaces or specialized care facilities, there are numerous avenues to explore here (subject to necessary consents).
