Freehold

Description

Positioned in an elevated spot along one of Lytham’s most iconic and historic roads, 4 The Elms is a magnificent Victorian villa dating back to 1854. Beautifully restored and thoughtfully modernised, this remarkable home offers over 6,700 sq. ft. of exquisitely presented living space arranged over four floors.

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.

Exterior & Approach

The walled driveway is lined with pleached Hornbeam trees and leads to double electric gates, opening to reveal the impressive façade of the home. Set in an elevated plot with sweeping views, the entrance is marked by a substantial stone arch engraved with the build date. The drive offers parking for several vehicles, with access to the integral garage.

Entrance Vestibule & Hall

Original period mouldings frame the vestibule, with a glazed internal door leading into the grand entrance hall. Bespoke feature lighting and a central staircase rising to the upper floors and descending to the lower ground create a sense of elegance and scale.

Cloakroom & WC

Conveniently positioned off the entrance, this space features high-quality fittings and offers a practical addition for guests.

Study

A quiet, elegant space with painted panel-effect walls, a large bay window overlooking the rear garden, and an additional side window that fills the room with natural light – ideal as a home office or reading room.

Library

Tucked away, the library features a full wall of bespoke shelving, making it a tranquil space for reading, study or contemplation.

Formal Lounge

With a stunning bay window framing coastal views, this refined living space is rich in period character. High ceilings, deep skirtings, ornate coving and a striking stone fireplace with open fire make this an inviting room year-round.

Open-Plan Kitchen, Dining & Living Area

This showstopping space blends traditional charm with modern sophistication. The kitchen features a hand-painted in-frame James Houseman design lined in walnut, topped with quartzite surfaces. Integrated appliances include Wolf steam and convection ovens, a warming drawer, Gaggenau induction hob, Siemens extractor, and a Sub-Zero fridge/freezer. A central island with breakfast bar and drinks cupboard completes the space.



A stunning bay window and aluminium bifold doors open to the garden, with a glazed atrium above flooding the space with natural light. The dining area connects seamlessly to the garden room, creating an exceptional flow for entertaining. This area also features a Bang & Olufsen surround sound system and ambient lighting controls.

Garden Room

With floor-to-ceiling bifold doors opening onto a raised balcony and coastal views beyond, the garden room continues the theme of light and connection to nature. A beautiful spot to unwind or host guests.
