Luxury listing

A games room with full-size snooker table, 12-metre indoor swimming pool and sauna and a state-of-the-art cinema room all grace this impressive South Liverpool property, making it one of the most luxurious homes on the market.

Priced at £1.6m, the property is spread across six acres of private grounds and comprises a detached barn conversion, a three-bedroom ‘living’ cabin, other out buildings and a private paddock with stables.

The eye-catching leisure suite houses a gymnasium, pool and sauna, while the living areas are decked out in luxury oak floors. The kitchen appliances come from designer brands Sub Zero and Wolf, which are favoured by celebrities such as David and Victoria Beckham, Sir Paul McCartney, Madonna and chef Gordon Ramsey amongst others.

Finally, the en suite bathroom is spectacular; with a Tiled monsoon shower enclosure, Jacuzzi bath with waterfall mixer tap, golf leaf tiling detail, a sound system and inset flat-screen TV adding to the luxury feel.

Decadent dockside

Garden space may be hard to come by in one of the city’s most exclusive waterfront properties but this penthouse apartment in the stunning Grade II-listed Albert Dock has come up with a clever solution.

This property, priced at £490,000, has its own ‘garden room’ complete with a wall mounted water feature and slate heated flooring. Not only that, but the room comes with smart Tint windows on either side to allow natural light to flood in at the touch of a button. It is even overlooked by one of the three bedrooms in the apartment.

Elsewhere, the luxury apartment has Bose speakers throughout, an en suite to one of the bedrooms and the Colonnades’ signature exposed brickwork walls. There’s also a Lagerholm Sauna and heated flooring built in to the main bathroom at this property.

Beautiful beach front

North Liverpool is not short of luxury properties, from footballers’ mansions in Formby to the grand old homes of Hightown. However Crosby’s Burbo Point, which offers stunning views of Crosby Beach, is one of the region’s hidden gems.

A penthouse apartment at Burbo Point will set you back £5,000pcm but in return the home provides extreme luxury in every room. The unique layout of the property means it enjoys 360-degree views of the surrounding area, while a feature staircase leads to a personal bar and seating area for entertaining guests.

The furnished property is decked out in designer furniture and the main bedroom includes a walk in wardrobe and a luxury bathroom with a freestanding bath and double shower.

Renting the property means taking an entire floor of the building, which overlooks the exclusive West Lancashire Golf Club. There’s also a private car park available to anybody who chooses to live in the property.

Garden paradise

 

For many luxury means having a private, secluded home in picturesque surroundings. Fulwood Park in South Liverpool ticks those boxes and then some.

The driveway to the property takes you through a mature orchard with fruit trees, while a massive garden looks out on to views of the River Mersey and on to the Welsh Hills on a clear day. That’s if you can tear your eyes away from the garden itself, as it features luxury touches such as a slate patio, pond, decked walkways and decorative borders.

The grand detached house itself has four bedrooms, three with walk in wardrobes, and three reception rooms. Inside, historic vaulted ceilings mix with modern features such as a Jacuzzi bath in the en suite and upmarket Miele kitchen appliances. The highlight of the £850,000 home is a balcony offering views of the spectacular Fulwood Park area.

Park life

It is not often a penthouse apartment overlooking one of the UK’s great Victorian parks comes on the market, so this property at Ashbury Brook, overlooking the breathtaking Sefton Park, is something of a rarity.

In fitting with its surroundings, this apartment has a host of luxury features including a fully fitted kitchen and Miele appliances – the same company that supplied appliances to the Burj Khalifa in UAE, the world’s tallest and most decadent building.

Alongside the upmarket kitchen, the Ashbury Brook home features a private roof top balcony, under floor heating and two underground parking spaces. All three bedrooms have en suites with Italian porcelain floor-to-ceiling tiles.

Set in a private and secluded area at the heart of one of Liverpool’s most affluent areas, the views from the property are enough to warrant a price of £3,000pcm to rent this luxury penthouse.
