Springfield Road, Aughton, L39

At the end of a private cobbled lane in one of West Lancashire’s most prestigious postcodes sits East Springs, a red-brick architectural landmark with a quiet confidence and a rich local heritage. Originally built in 1917, the home blends period character with exceptional proportions and grounds that feel more private estate than private garden.

We launch for viewings on August 9th with an exclusive open event at East Springs. From 1.30pm to 2.30pm, you’re invited to step behind the gates and experience one of Aughton’s most impressive private estates for yourself. This isn’t a drop-in. It’s by name, by booking, and by appointment only — if your name’s not down, you’re not coming in. Private viewing slots are also available on request for those who’d prefer a little more time to explore.

A Vision for the Future – With Plans to Match: If you're dreaming bigger, East Springs is already one step ahead. Plans have been drawn up to reconfigure the rear elevation in keeping with the home’s original 1917 symmetry, enhancing the existing dormers and expanding the footprint around the pool. The proposals honour the architectural legacy—mirroring the arched brickwork, slate rooflines and period-correct proportions—while unlocking even more entertaining space and flexibility. SSTPP this could take the home to even further levels.

Set behind electric gates and surrounded by an estate of mature greenery, this home offers a lifestyle that few properties in Aughton can match—whether it's a peaceful daily retreat or the ultimate place to entertain.

A Home of Scale, Substance and Quiet Luxury; the accommodation exceeds 5,300sqft with the main house being nearly 3,900 sq. ft., delivering a layout that feels generous and balanced in all the right places. The formal living room and oversized games room provide elegant entertaining spaces, while the garden-facing conservatory is ideal for relaxed evenings and quiet moments.

At the heart of the home, a 24ft x 20ft kitchen-dining room offers room to gather, host, and grow—complete with garden views and space to cook, lounge and dine in comfort. The interiors are neutrally finished and beautifully maintained, allowing any new owner to modernise with ease.

Upstairs, four large double bedrooms all feature walk-in wardrobes and en-suite bathrooms, including a Jack-and-Jill setup for bedrooms three and four.
There’s also planning advice in motion exploring the expansion of usable space via the existing dormers—early designs suggest the approach would be welcomed by local planners.

Detached Annexe: Privacy Without Distance
Tucked discreetly to the side, the detached annexe mirrors the architectural style of the main house and offers two floors of self-contained living space. With a fitted kitchen, open-plan lounge, shower room, and two double bedrooms upstairs, it’s ideal for:

Multigenerational living

Long-stay guests

Teen independence

A creative or professional studio space

It’s rare to find a home that allows such flexible independence while staying so visually and functionally connected to the main property.

The Grounds: Your Own Private Estate in L39: The moment the gates close behind you, you feel it—privacy, serenity, and space to breathe.

The plot wraps the home in mature planting, sweeping lawns and landscaped terraces. And it isn’t just for show. These grounds are designed to be used, with:

A heated outdoor swimming pool and full sun terrace

A detached pool house with entertainment space, two changing rooms and WC

A private tennis court at the far end of the garden

Large cobbled driveway with turning circle and ample off-road parking

This is a home that invites celebration—pool parties, tennis matches, long lazy Sundays, and quiet coffees in the morning sun. Whether you’re upsizing, relocating, or simply searching for the next chapter of your life in West Lancashire, East Springs gives you the setting you’ve been waiting for.
