New build behind electric gate mix of 'modern and period elegance'

A new build home is up for sale in Formby from an award winning developer.

The detached five bedroom house, has been built on Church Road, by Mount Acre Homes Ltd. The developers are known for having “stunning success” across the region, after winning architectural awards.

Despite being a modern home, the property is described as being complete with “period elegance” in mind. Features that make the home seem more traditional include Victorian street lamps, bay windows and an entrance hall.
