Shaws Avenue, Southport, PR8

Arnold & Phillips are delighted to bring to market this well-proportioned three-bedroom semi-detached home, attractively positioned on the ever-popular Shaws Avenue in Birkdale.

This is a setting that blends the convenience of nearby amenities with the comfort of an established residential street, making it an appealing choice for a wide variety of buyers. Homes in this part of Birkdale are often sought after for their accessibility as much as for the lifestyle they offer, with this particular property providing a thoughtful layout and good-sized rooms that will suit both families and professionals alike.

The property is approached via a private driveway, providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles. This is particularly practical for modern households, whether accommodating visiting family and friends or providing space for more than one car. The frontage itself has a neat, welcoming appearance and sets the tone for the well-kept interior that follows.

Stepping inside, you are greeted with an entrance hallway that connects the main living areas. The principal lounge lies to the front of the property and immediately impresses with its sense of space. The dual aspect provided by two picture windows ensures the room feels open and comfortable, while the proportions easily lend themselves to a range of furniture layouts. Whether styled as a more formal reception room or kept relaxed as a family lounge, this is a room that offers genuine versatility.

Towards the rear of the home, the dining kitchen stretches across the back of the property, forming the central hub of day-to-day living. This area works well both as a practical cooking space and as somewhere to gather. A comprehensive selection of fitted wall, base, and tower units provides plenty of storage, while contrasting work surfaces bring a clean and modern finish. The addition of integrated and freestanding appliances ensures convenience, and the dining area is comfortably sized to host family meals or casual evenings with friends. A particularly useful feature is the separate pantry, which adds further storage and helps keep the kitchen organised. Together, these elements make the rear of the property a space that is easy to imagine using daily, whether preparing meals, working from home at the table, or hosting larger gatherings.

To the first floor, three bedrooms continue the property’s theme of generous proportions. Two of these are excellent double rooms, while the third, though smaller, still accommodates a full range of bedroom furniture and would equally make a comfortable child’s room, nursery, or home office. Each bedroom has been neutrally decorated, giving buyers a blank canvas to style to their own preferences, while each enjoys a pleasant outlook over the surrounding neighbourhood. Serving these rooms is the recently installed family bathroom, which has been finished to a high standard. The contemporary suite includes a modern shower, WC, and vanity wash hand basin, all set against a tasteful tiled backdrop. This provides a fresh, practical space that requires no further work from the incoming owner.

Externally, the rear garden offers an excellent balance of usable space and easy upkeep. A generous patio terrace runs immediately behind the property, perfect for setting up outdoor seating or dining areas. From here, the garden extends into a well-kept lawn bordered by established shrubs and plants, creating both privacy and greenery. The size of the plot also offers scope for those wishing to extend the property further, subject to the necessary planning permissions, making this home one with future potential as well as present comfort.

Beyond the boundaries of the property, the appeal of the location is clear. Shaws Avenue places you within close reach of Birkdale Village, where a range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, and wine bars create a lively yet relaxed community atmosphere. Southport town centre is also just a short distance away, offering further shopping, dining, and leisure options. Families are well-served with a choice of well-regarded schools in the area, while excellent transport links, including nearby rail services from Birkdale Station, provide straightforward access to Liverpool, Manchester, and beyond. The local area is also rich in outdoor amenities, from the sandy coastline and golf courses to parks and green spaces ideal for walking or cycling.

Altogether, this property combines practical family living with the benefits of a strong location. It is ready to move into yet also offers the opportunity to add value over time, whether through extension or personalisation. Internal inspection is highly recommended to appreciate not only the accommodation itself but also the lifestyle on offer in this popular part of Birkdale.
