Kirklake Road, Formby, L37 2DD
“COTTAGE IN THE WOODS” – A RARE COASTAL REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY set within approximately ONE ACRE of mature woodland in one of Formby’s most exclusive and tightly held locations.
Hidden away along a PRIVATE ACCESS ROAD and surrounded by National Trust pinewoods, open land and coastal scenery, the property offers an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a unique freehold plot with outstanding potential for redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning consents.
The existing accommodation comprises a CHARMING SINGLE-STOREY COTTAGE together with a DETACHED DOUBLE GARAGE, both positioned centrally within the grounds and enveloped by established mixed woodland. The setting provides a wonderful sense of peace and tranquillity, creating a true “cottage in the woods” atmosphere, whilst importantly never feeling isolated.
The PLOT enjoys stunning natural surroundings with open aspects towards the sand dunes and the wider coastline, together with direct access into the pinewoods and nearby coastal paths. Formby Beach is only a short walk away, offering a lifestyle closely connected to nature and the outdoors.
Despite the idyllic SEMI-RURAL SETTING, Formby Village and its excellent range of shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities remain within easy reach, combining privacy and seclusion with convenience in a way that is rarely available within the area.
This is a site that offers buyers the opportunity to create something truly special, whether reimagining the existing accommodation or designing a bespoke replacement dwelling tailored entirely to individual requirements.
Opportunities of this nature, scale and position are exceptionally uncommon within Formby’s coastal belt.
