Chestnut Avenue, Crosby, L23

There are some beautiful houses in Moor Park.

And then there are the houses people remember.

Cuckoo Lodge is one of them.

Originally the gatekeeper’s house to Moor Park, this is where Chestnut Avenue began. Long before this became one of Crosby’s most desirable addresses, this home stood here alone, surrounded by open land, quietly marking the entrance to the park itself. That sense of presence is still here today.

You feel it as soon as you arrive.

A wide frontage, generous parking, mature gardens and at the centre of it all, a 100 year old Monkey Puzzle tree that gives the house an identity most homes simply do not have.

But this is not a house that lives in the past.

This is the entertainer’s home of Moor Park.

Everything about it has been shaped around how people actually want to live. Social. Relaxed. Effortless. The kind of place where people come over for a couple of hours and end up staying all night.

The ground floor is where it all happens.

Spaces that connect naturally, each with their own purpose but all working together. A cinema room that delivers a proper experience. A dedicated gym with separate cardio and weights rooms. A temperature controlled wine room ready for 120 bottles. Sonos running through the entertaining spaces so the atmosphere moves with you.

And then the garden takes it somewhere else entirely.

This is not just outdoor space. This is where the house comes alive.

A fully built outdoor kitchen with Egg BBQ, Clementi pizza oven and a herb garden that makes it feel considered, not added on. A koi pond that brings movement and calm. Lighting that shifts the mood as the evening unfolds. It is very easy to picture long evenings here that start casually and end late.

That is what this house does better than most.

The current layout reflects that lifestyle. It prioritises space, flow and experience over bedroom count. But there is flexibility built in.

The existing gym suite already has a bathroom in place and, could be transformed into an exceptional ground floor principal suite. An eample of which has been created using AI as you can see by the photos. So while this is firmly an entertainer’s home, it can evolve with you if needed.

Subject to the usual permissions, there could be chance to extend and change upstairs to have a more traditional family layout too.

Moor Park remains one of Crosby’s most sought after locations for a reason. Strong schools, coastal walks, and excellent connections into Liverpool, all wrapped in a setting that feels established and quietly prestigious.

But homes like this are rare.

This is not just a house you move into.

It is a house that changes how you live.
