The current accommodation comprises a single-storey cottage of approximately 1,400 sq ft, together with a detached double garage of around 400 sq ft. Both sit centrally within the plot and would be ideal for demolition to create an exceptional new residence tailored entirely to your own specification.

Set within approximately 1.2 acres (in, the site is enveloped by mature mixed woodland, creating remarkable privacy and a sense of tranquillity that is almost impossible to find so close to the coast. The grounds also include a private access road which further enhances the exclusivity and seclusion of this special setting.

What truly sets this opportunity apart is its unrivalled position. The plot is completely surrounded by National Trust pinewoods and expanses of open land, offering uninterrupted views towards the sand dunes and Formby Beach.

With direct access to nature on your doorstep and the coastline just a short walk away, the lifestyle here is unique, peaceful, scenic, and quintessentially Formby.

Despite the idyllic semi-rural feel, convenience is never compromised. Formby Village is just a short distance away and provides an excellent range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities.

The area is renowned for its highly regarded primary and secondary schools, while two outstanding private schools St Mary’s College and Merchant Taylors are located in nearby Crosby, approximately eight miles from the property.

For commuters, Formby Station is only one mile away and offers regular rail services to both Liverpool (14 miles) and Southport (8 miles). Local bus routes are within easy reach, and the M57 and M58 motorways can be accessed approximately eight miles away.

This exceptional plot represents a rare blend of coastal living, woodland privacy, and village convenience, making it one of the most exciting redevelopment opportunities to come to the market in Formby.

A truly unique chance to create a landmark home in an unbeatable location.
