Dream home where football fans can watch the match hits the market

A Liverpool property where football fans can kick back on a balcony and soak in the matchday atmosphere without even leaving the house is up for grabs.

The five-bedroom home on Rossett Road in Crosby has a bedroom balcony overlooking the Marine Travel Arena (MTA), home of non-league side Marine. It has had a full facelift, ready to welcome new buyers.

Marine FC made history when they hosted Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup third round in January 2021. The David and Goliath match brought the likes of Jose Mourinho and Gareth Bale to College Road, with 161 places separating the two sides ahead of kick-off.

While Spurs were victorious on the day, winning 5-0, the money from the fixture has helped Marine manager Neil Young guide the side to promotion - they now play in the seventh tier.

Football aside, the Rossett Road house has been fully revamped to a high standard in neutral tones. The ground floor has a reception room and toilet, as well as a spacious open plan kitchen, dining and living space.

The first floor has three bedrooms and a family bathroom, with a further two bedrooms on the second floor, one of which has an en-suite.

Outside, the home boats a driveway to the front and a patio and lawn area to the rear.

The property has been listed by Berkeley Shaw with a starting price of £525,000.

The Spurs fixture has had a lasting impact on Marine, with attendances at the MTA rocketing.

The televised match attracted millions of viewers around the world, with thousands of Tottenham fans investing in a total of 32,202 virtual tickets to raise money for the behind-closed-doors contest.
