Description
Combining timeless period architecture with elegant contemporary finishes, the property features five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and grand interiors filled with character. From intricate original detailing to expansive entertaining spaces, this is a home that balances heritage with modern-day luxury.
Set within private, south-facing gardens with direct beach access, the grounds offer both seclusion and a rare coastal lifestyle. Planning permission has been granted for a substantial extension to the east side of the property (Ref: 19/0305), providing scope to further enhance and personalise this already exceptional home.
Ideally located just moments from the promenade and a short stroll into Lytham’s vibrant town centre, residents can enjoy a wide array of independent boutiques, cafes, acclaimed restaurants, and excellent schools including AKS Lytham, Kirkham Grammar, and Rossall. World-class golf courses such as Royal Lytham & St Annes, Fairhaven, and St Annes Old Links are close by, while scenic walking and cycling routes can be enjoyed along the Green and coastline.
4 The Elms is a home of true distinction—where history, design, and location come together in perfect harmony. A rare opportunity to own a landmark residence in one of Lytham’s most desirable addresses. Viewing is highly recommended.
