Description

An exceptional opportunity has arisen to acquire a freehold property on a generous plot in one of the most coveted coastal areas of Formby. The current structure consists of a single-storey cottage, providing around 1,400 sq ft of space, alongside a detached double garage measuring approximately 400 sq ft. Both buildings are centrally located within an expansive plot of about 1.2 acres and present significant redevelopment potential (subject to planning permissions). The ideal scenario would involve removing the existing structures to make way for a bespoke new home tailored to individual preferences. Surrounded by lush mixed woodland, this site offers remarkable privacy and tranquility, making it an oasis close to the coastline. The property benefits from a private access road, enhancing its exclusivity and secluded atmosphere. Notably, it is positioned adjacent to National Trust pinewoods and open land, affording sweeping views toward the sand dunes and Formby Beach. The lifestyle here balances nature with convenience: while enjoying direct access to scenic landscapes just moments away, Formby Village is also nearby, featuring a variety of independent shops, cafes, restaurants, and essential services. Families will appreciate the area's reputation for high-quality primary and secondary schools, along with prestigious private institutions located just a short drive away. Commuters will find Formby Station within one mile for regular train services to Liverpool and Southport. Additionally, major roadways are accessible within eight miles via the M57 and M58 motorways. This unique plot stands out as one of Formby's most promising redevelopment prospects—an opportunity to create a stunning landmark home in an unbeatable location.
