Backing onto Formby Golf club, this is an exceptional 13,000 sq ft luxury residence with full leisure suite and fabulous gardens


Description

A spectacular luxury residence with superb leisure, technology and security, located in a prime position backing onto the golf course on Formby's beach approach road.

Finished to an exceptional standard throughout and surrounded by manicured gardens, the property offers over 13,000 sq feet of exquisite living and entertaining space, including six bedrooms, eight reception rooms, leisure suite with swimming pool and jacuzzi, and a separate professional-standard gym.

From Victoria road, electric gates open into a sweeping driveway leading to the rear triple garage, with additional front and side parking for numerous vehicles.

The property provides a wonderful blend of period and contemporary, with the original footprint remodelled and substantially extended. Georgian grandeur and charm is retained in the front section of the house, perfectly complemented by the modern glass-fronted additions to the rear. The end result is a truly luxurious and practical modern home, yet one still retaining its charming heritage.

The ground floor encapsulates that old and new blend, with the various front reception rooms showcasing exquisite period style and features. Living space flows past the wood panelling of the dining room, below the fabulous ornate ceilings of the hallway, beyond the snug and music room and through to the parquet flooring and feature windows of the stunning, triple-aspect lounge and snooker room.

To the rear, double doors reveal an open aspect spanning the full remaining length of the house, through the Kitchen, three tandem open-plan reception rooms and out onto the garden and golf course through oversize feature windows. It's a breath-taking piece of architectural design and creates quite the first impression entering the modern rear of the house. The hand-made kitchen has a spacious island with breakfast bar, plus a host of premium appliances including an AGA stove. The glass-fronted leisure suite, conveniently adjacent to the main living area, is home to a large swimming pool, sunken jacuzzi, and steam room, with sliding doors out onto a West-facing terrace with landscaped planters and water feature. It's a wonderful, sociable inside/outside living, leisure and entertaining space.

Elsewhere on the ground floor, the integral triple garage is at the rear, next to the family area with stairs up to a mezzanine living space and adjacent lounge/games room, well stocked with a host of arcade games. The state-of-the-art gym is in a separate building to the front, next door to an additional showcase garage with security bollards - ideal for supercar display.

The first and second floors are home to the six bedrooms - all generous double rooms with either fitted or walk-in wardrobes. Five of the bedrooms have en suite bath/shower rooms, while there is a sixth bathroom off the hallway with separate shower cubicle and a balcony overlooking the rear grounds. The principle bedroom is particularly impressive - spacious, with dual aspect, it has a large fitted dressing room and stylish four piece en suite bathroom.

Externally, the grounds are spectacular. To the rear, manicured box-hedging, feature trees and well-tended borders open out to expansive lawns, rolling past pinewoods to the boundary, with Formby golf course beyond. Side and front gardens are similarly impressive, all beautifully maintained and presented. The property has electric gates and CCTV, amongst other security features.
