Home behind private gates on a luxury 'sought after' road for sale

A house on one of the regions most "sought after" roads, has been listed for sale.

Set back from the main road behind wrought iron railings and electric gates , the five bedroom detached home provides plenty of seclusion. There's a large driveway in front that leads to a double garage with two remote-control doors.

The home, on Column Road, West Kirkby, is described as being "superb" inside but it's also impressive outside, with a fully landscaped garden on offer. At the bottom of a lawn is a detached garden room that could be ideal office space if you work from home.

Images of the Column Road property show a grand entrance hall with a central staircase and herringbone flooring. Off the hallway area are a number of family rooms including a large kitchen and breakfast room which overlooks the back garden, a separate dining room, lounge and study.

There's a separate utility room for additional storage on the ground floor and a gym area in the garage. The two remaining top floors house the bedrooms, three of which have their own en-suite bathrooms. A sixth bedroom or storage space and bathroom take up the entire top floor.

It overlooks the manicured lawn, with a central water feature. A patio and veranda also surrounds the home with enough space for garden furniture and a hot tub.
