Located in the Freshfield area of ‘Millionaire’s Row’, the house boasts an impressive garden, secure gated access, a swimming pool complex, as well as a separate entertainment space; it’s described as ‘the ultimate relaxation oasis’. The property includes four reception rooms, seven bathrooms and en suites, and a large garden at the back of the property with an outdoor dining area and kitchen, and is currently on the market with Berkeley Shaw Real Estate for £4,250,000. William Goulden, Head of Sales at Berkeley Shaw in Liverpool, said: “This is an exceptional home in a beautiful part of the country. Many will be aware of the property's recent history, and we look forward to playing a part in its future." The open-plan kitchen is kitted out with top-of-the-range integrated appliances - and leads on to the pool house Set in a private plot, the house has been described as “exuding opulence”, with a whole host of Liverpool FC alum being residents, including former captain Steven Gerrard and former manager Brendan Rodgers. The home is just half an hour’s drive to the Liverpool FC training ground and 45 minutes from Liverpool city centre. The Freshfield area of Formby is one of the most desirable coastal locations, where the property has access to many local amenities. It’s just a short distance from Freshfield railway station, local schools, Formby Golf Club, and Formby village, which boasts an array of shops, trendy bars, and restaurants. Plus, the beautiful Formby nature reserve and beach are close by. The property also counts former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard and former manager Brendan Rodgers as previous residents One of the most striking features of the home is the glass leisure building located in the rear garden. Here, you’ll find a gym, treatment room, and bar area. Inside the main house there’s a generous amount of space, where you’re first greeted by an impressive entrance hall with an opulent chandelier. On the ground floor, there are four main rooms, including an open-plan kitchen, living room, sitting room, and salon. The ground floor also houses a cloakroom, boiler room, utility room, and access to the swimming pool complex through bi-folding doors. Its kitchen comes equipped with top of the range integrated appliances, and a living area equipped with a sofa and television. The pool complex has everything a football manager needs, including changing facilities and a steam room. The pool complex features its own changing facilities and steam room The property is currently on the market for £4.25million On the first floor you’ll find the luxurious master suite, housing two dressing rooms, an ensuite bathroom, as well as a balcony overlooking the garden. Upstairs you’ll also find access to two more bedrooms, one with its own en-suite, as well as a family bathroom. If that isn’t enough, on the upper floor, you’ll find three more bedrooms, two of which boast their own dressing rooms and en suite bathrooms. But what’s even more exciting is found via the third bedroom. This property is equipped with its own trophy room fitted with cupboards with sliding glass doors and glass display shelves. Jurgen Klopp’s own haul includes one Premier League title, one Champions League crown, an FA Cup, two EFL Cups, the Community Shield, a UEFA Super Cup and a Fifa Club World Cup. While there could’ve been more, Klopp is remembered amongst supporters for turning "doubters into believers". He bowed at Anfield in May, and the post-match ceremony was watched by more than 70 percent of those who watched Manchester City’s title celebrations. Klopp declared, “I am one of you now.” Danke, Jurgen. The glass leisure house is a standout feature of the Formby property For some rest and relaxation, head to the glass leisure building, where you’ll find a distinguished glass hallway with floor-to-ceiling windows and plentiful natural lighting. The glass hallway leads into an ample entertainment room and bar, featuring a dining area, mirrored dance floor, almost 360-degree panoramic views of the garden via floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors, rear storage and entertainment area, fitted bar, and kitchen area. This opens onto a luxury spa room with a cold plunge pool after a hard day’s training, as well as a separate hot jacuzzi pool with whirlpool jets, seating areas, TV and speaker systems, and its own double shower. Above the entertainment area is a gym offering panoramic views of the garden and the main house. It also offers views overlooking the dance floor and bars downstairs.
