Blacklow Brow, Liverpool, Merseyside, L36

Semi-detached, bay-fronted and a few minutes from Huyton station: a home built around the way families live and commute.

Some houses are all about the address, and this is one of them. Blacklow Brow puts you right beside Huyton railway station, with direct trains to Liverpool Lime Street and Manchester. Add a driveway for your own car and permit parking for visitors, and you have a home that makes getting around easy however you travel.



Step through the hall and you’ll find a house with a clear split between quiet time and family time. The bay-windowed living room at the front is the place to switch off, with sunlight pouring through the bay. Further back, a second reception room opens through sliding doors onto the garden seating area. It could be a playroom, a dining room, a snug or a home office, and in summer you can throw the doors open and let the evening spill outside. The kitchen runs along the side of the house with a door to the outside, and a cupboard beneath the stairs swallows the coats, boots and school bags.

Upstairs, the bay-windowed main bedroom is the standout, with room for a large bed and a sofa or dressing area if you wish. A second double sits at the rear overlooking the garden, and a smaller third room is made for a child, a nursery, a study or somewhere to set up a desk. The family bathroom has a bath, WC and basin, and a window brings in natural light.

Everyday life is well supported nearby. The Shopping Village is a short stroll from the station, and Huyton Village has shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants for weekends. Huyton Park and Court Hey Park are good for dog walks, picnics and letting children burn off energy, and golfers can head to Huyton & Prescot Golf Club. For a bigger day out, Knowsley Safari Park is only a couple of miles away. Liverpool city centre and Anfield are within easy reach, as are the M57 and M62.

If you’re a commuter who wants the station on your doorstep, a family who needs two living spaces and a garden, or a buyer moving up from a flat, this house is worth a look. It would also appeal to investors, given its position next to the rail link.
