TurnberryTurnberry is a beautiful family home that occupies a prime location in the much sought after area of Blundelsands, an affluent coastal suburb of Merseyside. It was purchased by the current owner’s father back in 1962, and has remained in the same family ever since.

“My father bought this house fifty-three years ago and it’s the house that I grew up in,” says Malcolm. “As a child I remember it being a very happy home, always full of people, and I think the fact that I have such fond memories is the reason I wanted to keep it in the family. I purchased the house in 1995 after my father passed away, and have gone on to bring up my own family in it, but the children have now grown up and left home.”

“Over the years I have made a number of changes to the house,” continues Malcolm, “such as rejigging the layout of the kitchen and fitting new Keller units to make it more conducive to modern living, and I’ve also added a couple of en suite bathrooms as well as refitting the existing family bathroom, but probably the biggest change has been the addition of the substantial garden room. It has been designed to blend perfectly with the style of the house, so much so that it looks as if it has been here all the time. It’s a wonderful addition to the house, and one that we use all the time, and it has the most beautiful view of the garden at any time of the year.”

“I have a keen interest in gardening,” says Malcolm, “so when I bought the house I decided to redesign the entire outside space with the help of a specialist garden designer. It now has a really natural feel with lots of walkways and interesting views, and to my mind the most special feature is the wonderful weeping willow that my father planted, which also played an integral part in the children’s many games of hide and seek.”

“Because the garden is large,” continues Malcolm, “I have recently acquired planning permission to build a detached house to the rear of the garden, and so if someone is looking to develop a property, the opportunity is there. Alternatively there is also the space for an annex or indeed a swimming pool.”

“My wife describes this as a very easy house to live in and to maintain,” says Malcolm, “as well as one that is in a superb position. It’s been a very peaceful area in which to bring up children and everything is practically on the doorstep. Hall Road station, which connects directly to Liverpool and Southport is just five minutes from the house, and both Waterloo Rugby Club and West Lancashire Golf Club are within walking distance. There are also some excellent schools in the local area, including Merchant Taylors’ and St Mary’s College, both of which are just a matter of minutes away. We’re also on the edge of the green belt, the beach with its famous iron men is just a stroll away and I can be in Liverpool city centre in under twenty minutes; it’s all wonderfully convenient.”

“This has been a superb family home,” concludes Malcolm, “and one which holds many wonderful memories over three generations.”*
