We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Enjoying a delightful SEMI-RURAL POSITION between Formby and Lydiate, this attractive 1920s END-TERRACED COTTAGE combines period charm with open countryside aspects and offers an exciting opportunity for those looking to create a home to their own specification.
Occupying a peaceful setting, the property retains character features including an original SLATE ROOF.
Originally built as TWO SEPARATE COTTAGES and later combined into one substantial family home, it now offers generous accommodation complemented by an equally impressive plot, providing excellent scope for refurbishment and modernisation.
The accommodation comprises an ENTRANCE HALL, spacious DUAL ASPECT LOUNGE, rear KITCHEN, side porch providing access to the garden, and a separate FRONT-FACING SITTING ROOM.
Upstairs, there are FOUR GOOD-SIZED BEDROOMS and a family bathroom. Outside, a front garden with pathway leads to the property.
To the rear is an enclosed courtyard with FOUR BRICK-BUILT OUTBUILDINGS, offering excellent storage or workshop potential.
The generous side garden enjoys a SUNNY SOUTH-FACING ASPECT and provides AMPLE OFF-ROAD PARKING, creating an excellent outdoor space with plenty of potential.
Further benefits include LPG GAS CENTRAL HEATING and NO ONWARD CHAIN.
Requiring a programme of refurbishment throughout, this is a genuine BLANK CANVAS and a rare opportunity to create a stunning semi-rural home in a sought-after location. Early viewing is recommended.
