Riverside is located in the highly sought-after village of Hightown, famed for being unique to anywhere else in the region. The property is positioned in a highly desirable location on a large corner plot just a stones throw from the dunes and shoreline. A substantial renovation which has taken place over the last 10 years has resulted in the property’s unique design, boasting a large open plan layout which is perfect for contemporary living. The large lot provides opportunity for further development or extension of the property, subject to planning approval. Externally, a centrally positioned porch with pitched roof has been added along with 3 new gables to the main roof and the inclusion of traditional porthole windows which are a thoughtful nod to the neighbouring Alt estuary and seagoing heritage of the region.

Well maintained landscaping surrounds the property and includes a wrap-around rear garden with large raised decking area. The front of the property has the added security of a gated perimeter with a large paved area providing off road parking for approximately 5 cars. Due to the size of the plot and recent approved changes, further development or extension would be feasible should the new owner wish; the most recent approved planning application includes the addition of balconies to the property should the new owner wish to take further advantage of the views on offer.

The centrally positioned front door opens up a free-flowing layout throughout the property and on entering you are presented with a spacious lounge with feature fireplace; the airiness of the room is enhanced by the natural light that floods in through the large, twin-aspect windows and French doors. From the living room you can access the snug or the dining room which leads to the kitchen, an elegant space finished with large wall tiles and including modern fitted units and an island with breakfast bar, also ideal for entertaining. The levels of natural light in the property are further apparent here as large sliding doors connect the dining space to the garden. From the Kitchen you can access the ample sized snug which offer a different space in which to relax or the study, a welcome quiet space for today’s remote office worker. The ground floor offers abundant storage space including the single car garage which can be accessed from the kitchen via the study.

Upstairs there is an extensive master bedroom with ensuite, 3 further large bedrooms, and a family bathroom; both ensuite and the main family bathroom are large and include high-end walk-in showers as well as a separate bath in the family bathroom. Both bathrooms are finished with large, luxury tiles that further demonstrate the level of investment that the current owner has made in the property during renovation. Should the new owner wish for additional bedroom space, the footprint would allow for extension or further development subject to planning approval.

A national study that took place in 2022 listed Hightown amongst the most desirable places in the country to live; this is no surprise as Hightown is home to a host of convenient amenities including a local shop, post office, salon, and beautiful village pub offering great food, ales and regular live music. Only a short journey away are Crosby village, Formby and Southport which are worth visiting in their own right for their many charms and attractions. Blundellsands sailing club is right on the doorstep of the property where the team will be sure to support you, whether you are a novice at sailing or an experienced ocean dweller, the new owner could one day set sail from their own front door! Hightown is perfect for other recreational activities such as walks along the mouth of the historic River Alt onto the shoreline, where you are likely to see a variety of local wildlife, a must for any avid birdwatchers. For those wanting some more activity, the Hightown club is a great way to socialise and meet friendly locals whilst staying in shape and a wide range of sports are on offer with something for everyone including, cricket, tennis, football and rugby. For cyclists, the Sefton Coastal Path from Seaforth to Southport is a popular route for all abilities away from busy roads.

An ideal spot for commuters, with both Southport and Liverpool being easily accessible on the direct Merseyrail line from Hightown Station. Easy road access onto the nearby A565 links you directly to Southport, Liverpool city centre and M58/M57 motorways via the A5758.
