The ECHO has taken a look inside a jaw-dropping mansion which has gone on the market for a staggering £2.3m.
The home is located on Selworthy Road in Birkdale , where houses had an overall average price of £2.5m over the last year. The figure is a massive 233% higher than the 2005 peak of £1.1m.
Located near Southport , Birkdale's popularity is growing and the area is now home to a raft of independents shops, bars and restaurants, as well as being a stone's throw from the coastline.
The property also backs onto the famous Royal Birkdale Golf Club - one of only four properties in Southport to boast this.

The mansion, which is on the market with estate agents Chris Tinsdale, has four bedrooms, four bathrooms and five reception rooms.
Its Zoopla listing hails it as "a truly unique, detached residence" that has been "substantially extended and transformed by the present owners".
Guests are welcomed into a luxurious entrance hall with a sweeping staircase and mezzanine landing above.

The downstairs living space is huge, with a living room, dining room, games room, utility room, one of the bedrooms, a WC and integrated garage. This makes way for a massive open plan kitchen, dining and living space to the rear of the house.
The kitchen is glossy and white with floor to ceiling windows and bi-fold doors maximising the natural light. The games room also has a plush bar for entertaining.

The interior throughout has been kept neutral by the current owners, enhancing the high-end finish.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. The master has a huge bay window - a perfect spot to relax and unwind - as well as a luxury en-suite and walk-in wardrobe.

The rear of the house hasn't escaped the finer touches. There's a raised deck, a paved patio area and huge lawn, with added privacy from the surrounding mature trees.
Selworthy Road is just off Birkdale's coastal road, offering access to the beach. The house is also within a mile of two train stations, Birkdale and Hillside.
