A seemingly ordinary home has gone up for sale in Merseyside - and it hides something quite special in the garden.
This three bedroom house, on Henley Drive, Southport, has a fully covered, heated swimming pool.
The outdoor pool is arguably the biggest selling point of this impressive property, which also features a hot tub in the garden.
On the market with Ball and Percival for £475,000, the home comes in well above the average sold price for Southport over the last year, which stands at £223,801 according to Rightmove.

The back garden can be viewed from both the open plan kitchen area and the dining room.
