Norwood Avenue, Southport, PR9

A home to grow into, not out of.

Welcome to Norwood Avenue, Churchtown. Tucked away on a generous corner plot and wrapped in mature trees and proper privacy, this is the kind of house that gives you space to exhale. To sprawl out. To make plans for the future and not worry about outgrowing it in the meantime.

It’s a four-bedroom detached, but numbers don’t really do it justice. What you’re getting here is a proper family home. Thoughtfully modernised – yes, brand new kitchen and a gorgeous main bathroom – but without losing its heart. The layout just makes sense: two large reception rooms for movie nights, kids’ chaos, grown-up dinner parties or just the luxury of not being in each other’s pockets.

The kitchen/diner spans the back of the house with French doors out to a raised deck. Whether it’s pancakes on a Sunday or cocktails on a Friday, this is where life happens.

Upstairs, all four bedrooms are a great size – bright, calm, no awkward box rooms. The main bathroom is sleek and stylish, and there’s a second one downstairs too – ideal for guests, teens, toddlers or anyone who doesn’t do stairs.

Outside, the garden wraps around the home like a hug. Big enough for football matches, trampoline summers or just quietly enjoying a morning coffee under the trees. There’s a garage and a driveway round the back, and if you really wanted to go big, there’s scope to extend (subject to planning) without sacrificing that all-important outdoor space.

You're right in the heart of Churchtown, one of Southport’s most-loved neighbourhoods. Walk to the village, grab a coffee, pick up something lovely from the independents, and enjoy the kind of friendly community vibe that just feels different from the usual suburban sprawl. Great schools are within reach, and the beach is close enough to clear your head on a coastal walk after a long day.

And because there’s no chain, you won’t be hanging around waiting for someone else’s ducks to get in a row. When you’re ready, so is the house.

Opportunities like this don’t come up often in Churchtown — not with this much plot, potential and polish. If you’ve been waiting for the right one, come and see if this is it.
