Welcome to ‘West View’, an attractive post-war property which has been extended and renovated to make a substantial home over two levels with an integral double garage on a wonderfully private and sizable plot in a highly desirable road in the ever-popular Formby.

Literally a short stroll from the National Trust Pine Forest, and the stunning Formby coastline sits ‘West View’, a real gem of a home. Ideally positioned for all amenities and transport links it offers some great sized rooms, a super layout, and some fantastic outdoor space.

Ground Floor
Entering double doors into a handy porch before stepping through to a bright and spacious entrance hall, filled with natural light from the rear sunroom and upstairs Velux windows, this area is centrally located and conveniently accesses each ground floor room.

To the right and rear of the hall is a large and light-filled, formal lounge overlooking the gardens through panoramic windows and French doors. A real flame gas fireplace features centrally with a granite and stone surround and mantle.

In front of the lounge sits a spacious, open-plan kitchen and family room. The fitted cabinetry is of a ‘country-kitchen’ style and the flooring is half tiled for the kitchen and half carpeted for the living area. This is a great communal space ideal for family get-togethers.

A handy utility connects the kitchen to a W.C. cloakroom, extra storage, and the garage. Perfect for bringing in the shopping either via the integral garage or the external door which leads onto the front drive.

The sunroom is a perfect place to sit and relax. Located directly behind the hall it looks onto the gardens. Entering via sliding patio doors two further sides are fully glazed with one side featuring patio doors. Real wood panelled floor completes this peaceful retreat.

With so many people now working from home this property also offers a study which sits to the front, beside a second cloakroom/W.C.

A guest suite with fitted wardrobes, completes the ground floor and hosts its own ensuite shower room.

First Floor
Ascending the staircase which holds useful under stair storage the landing mirrors the entrance hallway as each room can be accessed from the spacious, light filled area.

The primary suite features a ‘juliette’ balcony, overlooking gardens, fitted wardrobes and a four piece, ensuite shower room which is fully tiled and enjoys a SPA shower.

Two large bedrooms sit to the front, one with fitted wardrobes and both share a great-sized, fully tiled, family bathroom with full bath, step-in SPA shower and vanity sink.

The last bedroom is a single. It shares the family bathroom but has the super advantage of having its own W.C. and vanity sink.

Grounds and Gardens
Accessed via double gates with remote access the frontage and driveway are expansive with enough space to park multiple vehicles.

The very secluded, spacious lawned gardens wrap around three sides of the property with landscaped gravel and stone pathways and patio to enjoy the sunshine. With well-established trees and shrubs, it’s an enjoyable and relaxing space but also great for entertaining family and friends.

Simply put, ‘West View’ is a superb home in a prime location.
