Arnold & Phillips are delighted to bring to market this well-proportioned two-bedroom ground floor apartment, located within the much-admired ‘Saxenholme’ development on Saxon Road in the heart of Birkdale.
This particular setting is always in demand, not only because of the attractive position within an established residential plot, but also because of the convenience of being within easy walking distance of Birkdale Village, which provides an excellent selection of shops, cafés, and restaurants, alongside superb transport links including direct rail services to Southport, Liverpool, and beyond.
The apartment sits within a secure and well-kept development, approached via a communal entrance that is both private and welcoming. Residents benefit from allocated parking and additional visitor spaces, as well as the rare advantage of a private garage, offering further secure parking or valuable storage space. The grounds around the property are neatly maintained, lending a sense of order and quality to the overall feel of the development.
Stepping inside, the home immediately conveys its generous proportions, with an inviting entrance hallway that does more than simply act as a passageway. Here, you’ll find a series of useful storage options built in, ideal for coats, shoes, and everyday household essentials. This practical approach to layout is seen throughout the property, making it a home that feels easy to live in from day one.
The apartment is thoughtfully arranged, with the accommodation fanning out naturally from the hallway. To the right, two double bedrooms provide comfortable and versatile spaces. The principal bedroom is particularly appealing, enjoying fitted wardrobes that maximise storage without impinging on the room’s sense of space. An en-suite bathroom serves this room, fitted with a bath and overhead shower, WC, and a vanity wash hand basin, creating a private and self-contained retreat. The second bedroom, also a good-sized double, offers flexibility for guests, family, or even a dedicated workspace if preferred. There is also a small paved seating area to the rear, accessed from bedroom 2. Centrally located within the layout is the main family bathroom, which is designed with a corner shower, WC, and wash hand basin. A generously sized storeroom is positioned adjacent, keeping everything from suitcases to household equipment neatly tucked away.
To the left of the property, the kitchen and living spaces create a welcoming balance of function and comfort. The dining kitchen is particularly impressive in scale, offering a wide range of fitted wall, base, and tower units along with integrated appliances and contrasting work surfaces. The size of the room comfortably accommodates a dining area, making it a natural hub for day-to-day living as well as mealtimes.
The main living room completes the internal accommodation and is a standout feature of the property. Centred around a feature fireplace, the room manages to feel both spacious and homely. Modern sliding patio doors open directly out onto a further private patio area, which flows into the carefully maintained communal gardens. This direct access to outdoor space is a real highlight, providing an easy connection to the greenery outside, whether for a morning coffee, relaxed afternoon reading, or socialising with friends in warmer weather. The gardens themselves are beautifully kept, offering a pleasant outlook that enhances the sense of privacy.
Externally, the addition of a single garage further strengthens the practicality of this home, whether used for parking or simply as secure storage for bicycles, gardening tools, or seasonal items. The development as a whole is well regarded, and its communal areas are clearly cared for to a high standard.
The location is equally as appealing as the apartment itself. Birkdale Village is only a short stroll away, with its thriving café culture, wine bars, boutique shops, and essential amenities. For those who commute, Birkdale train station offers frequent services into Liverpool and Southport, while road links provide easy access across the wider region. The area is also well served by local schools and recreational facilities, making it a highly practical place to live.
With vacant possession and no onward chain, this apartment presents an excellent opportunity for those looking for a home that balances generous living space with convenience and location. Its ground floor position, thoughtful layout, and access to outdoor areas make it particularly appealing to a wide range of buyers, from downsizers seeking comfort and ease of access, to professionals and small families who want to be close to the vibrancy of Birkdale Village. Internal inspection is highly recommended to appreciate the space and lifestyle this property can provide.
