'Stunning' home with garden described as place of 'true envy' for sale in Southport

A "remarkable" and "stunning" home has come on the market in Merseyside with what is described as an "enviable garden".

The large detached five-bedroom home, on Hesketh Road, Southport, is listed with Ball and Percival for £575,000.

It boasts a full refurbished basement, a renovated kitchen with fitted appliances and impressive bedrooms with walk-in wardrobe or an ensuite shower room.

But a key highlight of the property is actually hidden around the back.

Images on Rightmove show a picturesque wrap around garden that’s described as being a place of "true envy".

The garden area benefits from walled botanical gardens and has been designed to make the most of the sunshine throughout the day.

Each section of the wrap around garden has its own unique characteristics including a soothing water fountain, a raised decking area and a timber bridge, an Indian paved patio and seating area with fire pit and brick built pond.

The outdoor areas also have a number of power sockets all around and wired lighting.

To the front is plenty of off road parking for a number of cars behind a wrought iron gate. There's also a carport, a garage and timber storage shed.

Inside, the property has been renovated to make the most of its period features while still remaining stylish and luxurious.

Spread across four floors, the lower ground level basement is suitable enough to be an annex, for those who have a large family living under one roof.

It has its own entrance via the patio doors and it's own section of the garden overlooked by a peaceful garden room.

On the ground floor the layout stays true to the original period floor plan of a large, open and central hallway with detailed coving and cornicing.

Off the hallway is a number of spacious rooms with ornate features including a sitting room, dining room, a high specification kitchen with a range of base and wall units.

There's also a ground floor toilet and cloakroom.

Upstairs the delights continue with the five bedrooms spread across the top two floors.

The master bedroom boasts bespoke wardrobes and drawers along with a stylish en-suite shower room with three piece suite and units.

To the second floor is a fifth large double bedroom with a walk in wardrobe and plenty of storage.

Despite the house having plenty of room already, there is also scope for a south facing loft conversion on this property.

It's worth mentioning that there are also spare rooms which can be turned into a cinema room, gym or extra bedrooms if required.

The property is also described as being in a ‘desirable and much sought after’ location.

Similar homes in the area are currently listed for £425,000 on Rawlinson Road, £350,000 on Croyde Close and £325,000 on Hartwood Road.
