Property Description

Century 21 Liverpool is delighted to present a rare opportunity to acquire a fantastic and unique 27 room Victorian property in a much sought after sea view location overlooking Crosby Beach and Antony Gormley’s famous Another Place – 100 cast iron men in his likeness.

This impressive, one of a kind, Grade II listed building boasts many original features including a magnificent dome and galleried oak staircase, large gardens and has featured in several period dramas such as The Forsyte Saga and Island at War. More recently the May 2019 release of the film Tolkien (author of The Hobbit and Lord of The Rings) used the house extensively for many scenes during production.

Situated as the centre piece of Beach Lawn, these mid to late 19th Century large terraced houses with attached verandahs, form part of a row of 15 interestingly varied but harmonious style houses which have been listed in Joseph Sharples Pesvners guide to Liverpool as the most striking example of Italiante architecture in England.

The property features white-painted stucco, a slate church style roof, stuccoed chimney; and a cast-iron verandah. All the corbels were restored in fibre glass. Almost all windows are original oak, and draught proofed where required with the Ventrolla system where relevant.
