## Description

Arnold and Phillips are excited to offer for sale this generously extended four-bedroom semi-detached family home, ideally situated along the sought-after Cambridge Avenue in the heart of Churchtown, Southport.

Occupying a substantial plot and positioned within comfortable walking distance of Churchtown Village, this attractive property provides the space, flexibility and location so often in demand by modern families.

The home is set well back from the road behind a private driveway, offering off-road parking for multiple vehicles and framed by a neat frontage that reflects the established, tree-lined setting of the avenue. The property also enjoys a detached garage. This part of Churchtown is known for its strong community feel and timeless appeal, and this particular property enjoys one of the wider plots along the street — a subtle but important advantage for those seeking both internal and external space.

Stepping through the front door, the entrance hallway leads into a beautifully proportioned bay-fronted living room. This room offers a traditional layout with a central feature fireplace adding a touch of character, while neutral décor makes the space feel welcoming and ready to move into. The room’s generous proportions accommodate a full suite of furniture without compromise, making it an ideal space for relaxed evenings or entertaining guests.

Adjoining the lounge is a second reception room, currently arranged as a dining area. This space continues the home’s sense of openness and flows seamlessly into a rear extension, which in turn opens into a garden room-style conservatory. Together, these three areas provide a large, connected living space that could easily evolve to suit changing needs — whether that’s as a playroom, home office, or simply a sociable family room that brings the indoors and outdoors together.

The kitchen, positioned just off the dining area, is practical and well laid out. Fitted with a range of wall, base and tower units, it includes integrated appliances and offers plenty of worktop space for everyday use. There’s good potential here for a future reconfiguration or upgrade, but it’s already a workable and pleasant area to cook and prep from day one.

Upstairs, the first floor is home to three spacious double bedrooms, each neutrally finished and offering enough room for wardrobes, desks or additional furniture without feeling tight. All three bedrooms enjoy a pleasant outlook and are arranged off a well-kept landing. The family bathroom is modern and finished in a contemporary style, complete with bath, shower fitting, WC and wash basin — all presented cleanly and practically for daily use.

Rising to the second floor, the converted loft has been transformed into a substantial main bedroom suite. This upper level offers a real sense of privacy and separation, ideal for parents or older children needing their own space. Built-in storage solutions help keep the floor area clutter-free, while the en-suite bathroom adds to the convenience, offering a walk-in shower, WC and basin.

One of the most impressive features of this property is the size and layout of the rear garden. A large paved terrace wraps around the rear elevation, giving plenty of usable space for outdoor dining or social gatherings in warmer weather. Beyond this, a well-maintained lawn stretches the full width of the plot, bordered by mature shrubs, trees and well-placed planting that provides privacy without being overgrown. Importantly, the garden is not directly overlooked, which enhances the sense of peace and seclusion — an increasingly rare quality in family homes within walking distance of a village centre.

Churchtown Village itself is one of Southport’s most charming residential areas, known for its character, history and local appeal. A wide range of amenities are just a short walk away, including independent shops, cafés, pubs and everyday essentials such as supermarkets and pharmacies. The area is also well served by reputable primary and secondary schools, making it a practical choice for families at all stages. Public transport links are strong, with nearby bus and rail connections to Southport town centre and beyond, while the A565 provides an easy route towards Preston, Formby and Liverpool.

Approaching 2,000 square feet of accommodation and offering gas central heating, double glazing and an ideal Churchtown location, this home combines space, layout and future potential in equal measure. Whether you’re a growing family needing more room or simply looking for a well-positioned home with scope to put your own stamp on it, this is a property that deserves close consideration.
