Based on the Western border of the beautiful Wirral Peninsula, West Kirby is to the Wirral as Newquay is to Cornwall, with its stunning beaches and framed by beautiful waters. Living in West Kirby offers would-be residents a chance to experience an outdoors lifestyle that most only dream of.

As a West Kirby estate agents, perhaps you could argue a level of bias when it comes to our love of West Kirby but with its iconic waterfront, stunning homes and incredible views, we can’t be along in picturing it as the capital of the peninsula.  

The small town has a deep-rooted history with a key Victorian influence, especially on the roads that surround the Marine Lake, which have an unquestionable feeling of Britishness to them. It is with its years of history that gives the area an air of stability and affluence, appealing to those who are looking to settle down and raise children, or, enjoy their golden years. With such prosperity and a rich lifestyle on offer, house prices in West Kirby tend to be higher than in other areas of the Wirral.

With the cities of Chester and Liverpool each within an hour’s drive away, the area attracts those who want a short commute to work but want to live far away from the hustle and bustle that emits from the cities. The new bars and restaurants that have opened over the past few years have given West Kirby a cosmopolitan feel, albeit within the sanctuary of a bijou town. It is near these bars and restaurants that you can find Bradshaw Farnham & Lea's West Kirby branch.
