As Aintree’s world-famous Grand National approaches, we round-up three front-runners of the Merseyside market with equestrian roots.
Onto a winner
Brickwall Green, Sefton Village, L29
This mews barn, suggesting it was originally stables, dates back to the late 1700s and has since been converted into a four-bedroom family home within a pretty private courtyard. The building itself has plenty of interesting features, from original wooden beams and exposed bricks inside to mullion windows. Meanwhile its private positioning enables uninterrupted views over farmlands beyond its own spacious side and rear gardens.

Outsider tip
Sands Road, Mossley Hill, L18
Coach houses may originally have been built to provide homes for horse drawn carriages, but these days this charming building in particular provides comfortable living and period features in the heart of a desirable South Liverpool suburb. Striking windows and a Victorian lamp post add character to the exterior of the three-bedroom detached property, which is also surrounded by substantial gardens with established trees and shrubs, a large block paved driveway to allow off-road parking and secure electronic gates.

A stable investment
Well Lane, Liverpool, L16
Originally a stable block for the adjacent main Elm House property, this home now boasts bags of space and character and is surrounded by a sprawling garden. Having been developed and improved, the original stables now consist of a hallway, lounge, kitchen, ground floor shower room and WC, and three bedrooms including en suite facilities to the master. The building has been extended to provide a further lounge or games room, hallway, two more bedrooms with en suites, a dining room and a large conservatory.
