Hesketh Road, Southport, PR9

Arnold & Phillips are pleased to offer this three/four bedroom detached true bungalow, occupying a notably private and generous plot along the highly regarded Hesketh Road in Southport.

Homes of this scale and flexibility are rarely brought to market on this stretch of road, particularly those that enjoy such an open and uninterrupted outlook across both Hesketh Golf Course and Southport Golf Links. From the outset, this feels like a property that offers choice - both for how you live in it today and choice of how you might adapt it in the future, whether that’s as a high-quality downsize with space to spare or a long-term family home with room to evolve.

The property sits comfortably within its plot, set back behind a broad block paved driveway that provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles, complemented by an attached double garage. The frontage has a strong sense of balance thanks to its triple-fronted design, giving an immediate impression of width and substance rather than height. Well-kept gardens frame the approach and soften the lines of the building, while the overall positioning gives a sense of privacy that’s increasingly difficult to find.

Stepping inside through the front entrance porch, you’re welcomed by a large, central hallway that acts as the hub of the home. It’s a practical and well-proportioned space, wide enough to avoid feeling like a corridor and offering a natural separation between the sleeping accommodation and the main living areas. From here, the layout becomes clear and intuitive, making it easy to understand how the home works day to day.

To the front of the property are three genuine double bedrooms, all enjoying bay windows and generous proportions. Each room feels well balanced, with space for full bedroom furniture without compromise, making them equally suitable as principal bedrooms, guest rooms, or adaptable spaces such as a home office or hobby room if required. Their positioning at the front of the bungalow creates a quieter, more private sleeping zone, slightly removed from the main living spaces.

The living accommodation sits primarily to the rear and side of the property, designed to take advantage of both space and outlook. A bar and family room provides a relaxed and informal area that flows through into an adjoining lounge of generous proportions. This connection between rooms allows for flexibility in how the space is used, whether that’s open for entertaining or zoned for quieter evenings in. Adjacent to this is a separate dining room, which offers further versatility. It could remain a formal dining space, be repurposed as a fourth double bedroom, or, for those looking to modernise, be opened through into the adjoining dining kitchen to create a contemporary open-plan living kitchen that would suit modern lifestyles particularly well.

The bathroom accommodation is practical and well laid out, with a modern family bathroom providing a bath, a large walk-in shower, WC, bidet and vanity wash hand basin. A separate WC is also provided, which is especially useful in a property of this size and flexibility.

One of the most distinctive and eye-catching features of the home is the substantial rear pool house, which adjoins the main living room and houses a full-size tiled swimming pool. Extending to approximately 40 feet, this is an impressive, open-plan space that immediately sets the property apart. It works well in its current form but also presents a rare opportunity for conversion into additional living accommodation, an integrated annexe, or further bedrooms or reception space, subject to the necessary planning consents. Few properties offer this level of adaptability under one roof.

Externally, the South-West facing rear garden is a real highlight. The property is not directly overlooked, with the rolling greens of the golf course providing an ever-changing and calming backdrop. An ample Indian Sandstone patio terrace wraps around the rear of the bungalow, creating natural areas for outdoor seating and gatherings, while the centrally positioned lawn is bordered by established planting that adds structure and colour throughout the seasons. The garden feels both usable and private, with enough space to enjoy without becoming unmanageable.

Situated on one of Southport’s most sought-after roads, the location is as appealing as the property itself, being within walking distance to both Churchtown conservation village with its botanical gardens and choice of eateries and independent shops and also Southport town centre. A short scenic stroll to the end of the road is the coastal road, beach and RSPB nature reserve. Marine Lake and Hesketh Park are also a leisurely walk away. Well-regarded schools are also on hand, along with excellent transport links for commuters. The setting combines convenience with a sense of space and outlook that is rarely matched, particularly for a bungalow of this calibre.

The property extends to approximately 3,395 square feet, benefits from double glazing, gas central heating via Worcester Bosch Greenstar Boiler and a Calorex air source heat pump installed April 2023 for economical heating of the swimming pool water. The property is offered with no onward chain, and whilst some cosmetic modernisation would enhance the home further, the potential here is clear and compelling. For buyers seeking a spacious, adaptable bungalow in a prime Southport location with a truly special outlook, this is a home that warrants closer inspection.
