Location
Lytham St Annes is an enormously well respected and very smart seaside town on the Fylde coast, located on the Ribble Estuary. The town is made up of the four areas of Lytham, Ansdell, Fairhaven and St Annes-on-the-Sea, Lytham is the older part whereas St Annes was founded as a new seaside resort in the 1870s at the western end of the parish. In 1922 the four areas were united under the name ‘Lytham St Annes’ and the rest, as they say, is history. As well as having an impressive stretch of coastline along the Ribble Estuary, Lytham St Annes is famous for its four golf courses and links, the most notable being Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club which regularly hosts the Open Championship. There is a busy shopping centre and great choice of establishments for refreshments. The town also offers a choice of supermarkets, with regional favourite Booths (with café) having a branch in the town as well as Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Co-op.

The nearest cities of Preston and Lancaster have much to offer all generations with established cultural and music scenes and a wide range of bars and restaurants offering cuisines from around the world. They have busy shopping areas with both national and independent retailers represented and a comprehensive range of professional services and healthcare providers with both private and NHS hospitals available. 

Whether you need to travel for business or love to get out and about for pleasure, transport links are to hand with convenient access onto the M55 and thereafter the M6 as well as a train station in the town itself with onward connection to Preston on the main West Coast line with services to London and Edinburgh, Manchester City Centre and Airport.

Step outside
Upon arrival, electric gates open to an extensive courtyard parking area, all laid with smart granite paving blocks as is the approach between the two houses fronting Victory Boulevard – these enables No.18 to be set back affording a greater degree of privacy. It all establishes a very impressive entrance befitting the overall quality of the house. Within the gated courtyard, either side of the front door there are large statement planters to set off the entrance and a striking water feature to one side. 

The double garage has been laid with heavy duty rubber flooring and there is a wall of TEK storage cupboards. An enclosed set of stairs lead from outside up to the apartment. As secondary accommodation, this self-contained suite of rooms is excellent if you seek room for a dependent relative, prefer a dedicated guest suite or be contemplating live in help. The apartment provides a sitting room, kitchen, double bedroom and shower room.

Steps lead up the side of the house and are gated to the terrace which wraps around the first floor. There are several distinct seating areas enabling a choice depending on the position of the sun and the occasion. The seating area to the east has a pull-out screen for privacy and shelter. To the west of the house is a similar area, also capable of being screened with space for a hot tub and shed for handy storage of your seating cushions and garden tools. To the front is a large granite block paved seating terrace with three sets of French windows opening from the house enabling a lovely flow in the warmer months, although as the outside seating areas here and also on the roof terrace all have wall mounted heaters, you’ll probably find your use of these outside areas is capable of being extended. Two water features sit in either corner and will provide a relaxing soundtrack to your alfresco dining or glass of wine as you admire the setting sun.

Beyond the terrace is a large level lawn; super for children to run around, it also makes the perfect venue for garden party tents or a marque to celebrate a special occasion. Accessed through a gate set into a red brick wall it is hedged to three sides and has wide open views. There is a plentiful supply of outside lights, power points and taps. There’s even a sunken dog waste bin in the enclosed paved area by the back door for those late night and early morning calls of nature of your four-legged friend. The attention to detail is extraordinary – everything has been considered and painstakingly implemented.
