The Property

Fors is a handsome late Victorian house dating from 1897, occupying an established position on one of Hoylake’s most desirable residential roads. Set within a conservation area, moments from the coast and Royal Liverpool Golf Club, the house brings together the craftsmanship and generous proportions of its period origins with a beautifully considered approach to modern family life.

The accommodation extends to approximately 6,443 sq ft including the Coach House. Over the past decade, the property has undergone an extensive programme of renovation, including complete rewiring and replumbing, alongside the careful restoration of its original architectural features. Stained glass, restored parquet flooring, decorative cornicing, reclaimed radiators, bespoke joinery and carefully sourced fireplaces sit alongside zoned heating, Sonos sound integration and underfloor heating within the kitchen and family space.

A long driveway leads through mature planting to the original entrance, where the scale and character of the house become immediately apparent. High ceilings and large windows bring light into the rooms, while the breadth of the hallway creates a welcoming introduction to the accommodation.

The open plan kitchen, dining and family room forms the natural centre of the house. Created from several former rooms, it is a generous and sociable space designed for everyday family life and entertaining. The Tom Howley kitchen combines bespoke cabinetry with a substantial central island, larder storage and a dedicated coffee station. A beautifully crafted window seat overlooks the garden, while expansive bespoke sliding doors open directly onto the terrace.

The adjoining family and dining areas provide ample room for relaxed meals, larger gatherings and time together, with the glazing creating a close connection to the gardens throughout the seasons.

The formal reception rooms retain the elegance expected of a house of this period. The living room is arranged around a reclaimed marble fireplace and log burning stove, creating an inviting setting during the cooler months. The dining room provides a handsome space for entertaining, with its own feature fireplace and a concealed wine room positioned behind a glazed door.

A rebuilt wing provides an impressive gym with a vaulted ceiling, together with a sauna and shower room. A utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor is centred around an exceptional principal suite, created from several former bedrooms and arranged as a private collection of beautifully proportioned spaces. The bedroom leads into a generous dressing room and en suite bathroom, complete with twin showers, a freestanding bath and bespoke detailing.

Two further bedrooms occupy this floor, one with an en suite shower room, while a family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation.

The second floor provides four further rooms included within the seven bedroom layout. Two are currently presented as bedrooms with en suite shower rooms, while the remaining spaces are arranged as a cinema room and office. The cinema room includes a projector and integrated sound system, creating an excellent retreat for family evenings and guests. The flexibility of this floor allows the rooms to be adapted for bedrooms, workspaces or hobbies as required.

The Coach House

The beautifully renovated Coach House provides genuinely independent ancillary accommodation, with its own entrance and courtyard garden. Currently operated as a successful luxury holiday let, it offers considerable versatility for guests, wider family, multigenerational living or an established income stream.

The ground floor includes an entrance hall, kitchen, living room and cloakroom. Two bedrooms occupy the first floor, each with its own en suite shower room. Its discreet position allows the Coach House to function separately from the main house while remaining closely connected to the wider property.

Externally

The gardens unfold across a series of distinctive spaces, each carefully designed to complement the scale and architecture of the house. Broad terraces extend from the principal living accommodation, creating a natural setting for outdoor dining and entertaining before giving way to expansive lawns.

Mature trees, flowering climbers and established borders provide structure, colour and privacy. Wisteria trails across the garden walls during spring, while lavender, fruit trees and planted beds bring further seasonal interest.

Pathways lead between secluded seating areas and more open parts of the garden, offering a choice of places to enjoy the grounds throughout the day. An outdoor fire area creates a particularly inviting setting for summer evenings.

The size of the plot is unusual for this part of Hoylake, providing extensive garden space alongside generous parking. Newly built walls, mature borders and considered landscaping screen the driveway and parking areas from the main gardens.

The Coach House benefits from its own private courtyard garden and separate access, helping to preserve the privacy of both properties.
