Can you guess from inside which Hoylake property the above photo was taken?
Well, in case you can’t, it’s the spiral staircase inside The Lighthouse at the bottom of Stanley Road. The property isn’t (wasn’t) a real lighthouse of course, it’s a private residence that is currently available for rent. For a fiver shy of £4000 a month!
The top of the tower (not sure what you’d call it, observation room perhaps?) was removed nearly two years ago – the views from up there must be fantastic! At the time of the 2006 Open Golf there was a rumour that Coca Cola had paid to place advertising banners on the tower. That never happened.
It’s all a bit too much for my own tastes (and wallet) but have a look at the selection of photos over on rightmove and see what you think. Quite possibly one of the few residential properties in Wirral with it’s own dance floor!
Looks likely to appeal to footballers’ wives by the look of the interior!
Who built it and when?
