Steeped in history and rich in character, Hillbrae is a truly distinctive five-bedroom detached period residence dating back to 1737. Originally serving as a dairy, the property has evolved over centuries into a substantial and elegant family home, perfectly positioned on Forest Road, one of the most sought-after addresses in Meols. From here, the beach, train station and a range of local amenities are all just a pleasant stroll away, offering the perfect blend of coastal living and everyday convenience.
Behind its charming period façade lies a home of surprising scale and exceptional light. Unlike many homes of its era, Hillbrae enjoys an abundance of natural light throughout, with five double-aspect rooms and impressively high ceilings, particularly on the first floor, creating a wonderfully bright and airy atmosphere rarely found in properties of this age.
The accommodation begins with a welcoming reception hall that sets the tone for the rest of the home. A series of versatile living spaces branch off from here, including a spacious lounge with an attractive feature fireplace, a formal dining room perfectly suited to entertaining, and an additional reception room that could easily serve as a sitting room, snug, or home office depending on lifestyle needs. The kitchen blends traditional charm with modern practicality, featuring solid oak work surfaces, generous storage and direct access out to the rear garden.
Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms provide comfortable and flexible accommodation for family life. Each room enjoys excellent natural light, enhancing the sense of space throughout the upper floor. The Master bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while a spacious family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. Outside, the property is complemented by a mature and private rear garden, a peaceful retreat with established planting, lawned areas and patio spaces ideal for outdoor dining or relaxing in warmer months.
Homes with the history, character and setting of Hillbrae rarely come to market. Offering period charm, generous accommodation and an enviable coastal location.
