4 bed detached house for sale

Albury Close, West Derby L12

Situated on Albury Close, just off Inglewood, this small and tucked-away cul-de-sac enjoys a prime position with direct access routes leading straight onto the woodland surroundings. Number 12 is a rare find, a four-bedroom home within the estate that is ready to move straight into, while still offering plenty of potential to transform and tailor into your forever home.

Pull onto the driveway and picture coming home. The owners have already created a generous block-paved frontage with space for three cars, and with the additional gravelled area, there’s even potential to extend it further if you ever needed more room.

Now before we get settled, let’s head straight to where memories are made... The garden.

North-west facing. I know many buyers are conditioned to immediately look for south-facing gardens, but here’s the reality: This is the kind of garden that catches the sun from around midday right through until late into the evening. The kind where summer days seem to last just that little bit longer.

And what a space it is. Got children? Tell me you’re not already imagining bringing some love back to the once-loved treehouse and watching new memories unfold. Prefer the grown-up side of life? Head over to the bar, pour yourself a drink and sink into the hot tub – yes, that’s staying too.

Not a drinker? No problem. That summer house can become whatever you want it to be – a home office, gym, studio, games room or your own quiet escape. Step onto the patio and picture yourself enjoying those long evening sunsets, while practical touches haven’t been forgotten either, with space tucked away behind the summer house and to the side of the property, meaning sheds never need to steal your garden space.

Now come on in through the front door. A good-sized entrance hall is something you don’t realise you need until you have one, and here it immediately gives you that feeling of space, with the staircase sat straight ahead setting the tone for the rest of the home.

Take a left and step into the living room, where natural light pours through the full-length window, filling the space from end to end. The feature panelling draws your eye, adding character and creating a room that already feels warm and inviting. But what really stands out is the flow of this home; it just feels right.

You’ve got a generous dining area, perfect as it is, but here’s where your imagination can start working... Between here and the kitchen sits just a stud wall. Dreaming of that large open-plan kitchen and dining space everyone talks about? Do it. Picture a stylish family hub with views out over the garden, and while you’re there, I wouldn’t blame you for imagining bifold doors opening straight out onto those summer evenings.

The best part? There’s no rush. This could be a project for years down the line, while you enjoy the space exactly as it is today. Because the square footage here already works beautifully.

Then there’s the conservatory, and in today’s world, that extra room feels more valuable than ever. Families need flexibility now. Home offices, playrooms, snug spaces, hobby rooms... So many buyers look for homes with potential to build and extend later. Here? That extra space is already waiting for you.

Now onto the kitchen, and honestly, it’s a great size exactly as it is. There’s plenty of workspace and an impressive amount of storage, with the pantry taking care of all those things we somehow always need room for. It’s practical, it works, and it’s ready to be enjoyed from day one.

But now let me show you the space that really gets the imagination going... Step into the garage conversion. And this is where you can quite simply make it whatever you want it to be. The size is something you really need to see to appreciate. A second sitting room? Home gym? Cinema room? Office? Playroom? Maybe all of the above over time.

You could even create a utility area here while still maintaining the front section of the garage exactly as it is now. It’s one of those spaces where every buyer will immediately have a different vision, and that’s what makes it exciting.

Downstairs also benefits from practical touches that make everyday life easier too, with an additional door leading outside and the convenience of a downstairs W/C.

This home has something many simply don't – the ability for a family to grow with it, rather than outgrow it. So many buyers move in already thinking about the next move, the next extension, the next compromise. Here, you can picture years ahead. The flexibility, space and possibilities mean this isn’t just somewhere to live for now; it’s somewhere that can adapt and evolve alongside your family for years to come.

Now let’s head upstairs, and it’s just as impressive. The landing is laid out in a u-shape, giving a real sense of space as you make your way around. And here’s something you don’t hear every day... When I say two master bedrooms, I genuinely mean it.

The room the current owners use as the main bedroom is the one that benefits from the en suite and built-in wardrobes – a fantastic space that already works perfectly as it is. But now head around to the next bedroom at the front, and you’ll quickly realise this room is every bit its equal in size.

Years ago, this room and the fourth bedroom both had built-in wardrobes, back to back. They were removed, but open up that possibility in your mind, and there’s a hidden surprise waiting... A Jack and Jill bathroom setup.

Now imagine the options. A true master suite with a dressing room? A cosy reading nook? Or keep it simple and create a larger double fourth bedroom instead. Once again, this home gives you choices – and that seems to be the theme throughout.

The third bedroom sits quietly at the rear overlooking the garden, as does the fourth bedroom, and both are fantastic sizes. No box rooms here, no compromises – just spaces that work whether you need bedrooms, offices, hobby rooms or somewhere for a growing family.

But here’s another little secret about this home... Not many of the loft spaces on this estate lend themselves to conversion, but this one does. The owners had even looked into it and obtained quotes when their children were younger but simply never needed to go ahead.

So if your imagination is already running away with you, keep going... Because the potential for a master suite of all master suites is here. Picture a top-floor retreat with dressing space, an ensuite, and a place that feels completely your own.

The family bathroom sits at the top of the landing, and while we appreciate many buyers may want to put their own stamp on it, it’s clean, well looked after and perfectly functional as it stands. And that’s the beauty of this home – move in, enjoy it from day one, and create your dream spaces over time. The price already reflects the opportunity to make it your own.
