5 Bedroom Detached House

Laverock Bank, Chestnut Avenue, Moor Park

A home unlike anything else currently available in Crosby. Occupying a substantial corner plot within the prestigious Moor Park estate, Laverock Bank is an architecturally significant residence believed to date back to 1905, offering over 4,000 sq ft of accommodation and a level of character that is almost impossible to replicate today.

Positioned amongst some of Crosby's most sought-after homes, where values regularly exceed £1 million, this is a rare opportunity to secure a landmark property with immense presence, history and potential.

The moment you step inside, the scale becomes immediately apparent. A magnificent reception hall sets the tone, centred around an ornate staircase with exceptional original joinery, while a vestibule, side porch and ground floor WC complete the space.

The principal lounge is simply breathtaking. Occupying a prominent corner position, it boasts soaring ceilings, remarkable original timber beams and an extraordinary inglenook fireplace with built-in seating to either side. French doors open directly onto the garden, creating a wonderful connection between inside and out.

A second substantial reception room is currently arranged as an open-plan living and dining space, enjoying garden views through a beautiful bay window and direct access onto the patio. For those who love to entertain, the impressive 27ft games room provides a fantastic social space and is presently fitted as a snooker room with bar area.

The ground floor accommodation is completed by a utility room which was formerly used as a dining room, conservatory and kitchen.

The first floor continues to impress with five genuine double bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes that cleverly lead through to their own private bathrooms, while a further family bathroom and separate WC serve the remaining accommodation. Above, an internal glazed feature ceiling draws the eye towards the loft space, and then there is the most unique part of all, the property's striking domed roof. This is a distinctive architectural feature that makes Laverock Bank instantly recognisable.

Externally, the property enjoys a mature and private garden screened by established trees and hedging, creating a surprisingly secluded setting. A patio spans the width of the house, while beyond sits a substantial driveway, detached garage and additional outbuilding. The overall plot provides an abundance of external space and offers exciting potential for future enhancement, subject to any necessary consents.

Properties of this architectural significance rarely come to market, particularly within Moor Park. Combining exceptional character, remarkable room proportions and over 4,000 sq ft of accommodation, offered for sale with no onward chain, Laverock Bank presents a unique opportunity to acquire one of Crosby's most distinctive homes.

A note from the seller: “My favourite feature of the property has to be the hidden bathrooms, cleverly concealed behind the wardrobes. However, the thing I'll miss most is the incredible entertaining space - we've hosted some fantastic gatherings here over the years and made some wonderful memories.”
