The generous, well proportioned accommodation extends over 3 levels and briefly includes; spacious entrance hall, study, dining room, drawing room, family room, breakfast kitchen, conservatory and utility room. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, a family bathroom and the main bedroom also has an en suite shower room, there are two further bedrooms and a bathroom to the second floor. 'The Woodlands' stands in extensive grounds extending to approximately 0.6 of an acre'; there is ample parking to the front for a number of cars, a two car garage and a perfect mature family garden with rolling lawns, borders, mature trees and shrubs and enjoying a Southerly aspect. The property is situated in a popular and much sought after location convenient for both the Southport Town Centre and facilities at Birkdale Village which include the railway station on the Southport to Liverpool commuter line and a number of individual, speciality shops, wine bars and restaurants.
