It's no secret that the north-south divide is alive and well in the property industry, with sprawling Merseyside homes usually costing the same as a bedsit in some areas of London.
That is certainly the case for interior designer Claire, 36, who moved back to north Liverpool from the capital in 2019. In our Where I Live series, the ECHO will explore one house from across the region each week, with the owner giving us an insight into how they've made their house a home.
Claire told the ECHO her home is very close to the beach and is a "lovely place to bring up the children".
