Frank Lampard’s Merseyside house hunt: the multi-million pound homes he may be looking at

Frank Lampard was appointed Everton manager on a two-and-half-year contract this week and the Londoner will more than likely be looking around Merseyside.

Will he end up being a neighbour to Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp in Formby, or follow the path of former Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti and live in Crosby?

Italian manager Ancelotti was certainly happy to extol the virtues of his seaside residence and was once described as Crosby’s unofficial minister for tourism.

He told the New York Times that Crosby is a ‘beautiful place’ adding: “It’s close to the sea. There’s a beautiful beach. A long beach.

“There is really nice cycling, really nice walks. You can walk all the way to Formby on the coastal path. There are the Gormley statues, 100 of them, on the beach. I really like it.”

Meanwhile, Reds boss Klopp has praised the Formby area with its pinewoods and vast beach - perfect for walking his dogs. Many of his players live in the coastal town with their families too.

LiverpoolWorld looks at some of the properties for rent and sale in the local area that could interest Lampard.

Rent £7,000 pcm

This property has been described by estate agents Entwistle Green as a five-bed ‘prestigious, detached, modernist property in one of Blundellsands most sought after locations overlooking the Irish Sea, River Mersey and the Anthony Gormley iconic installation Another Place’.

The house has six bathrooms and there are also bi-fold doors, which lead onto a secluded roof terrace. There’s a BBQ area overlooking the sea with views of the Wirral and the Welsh mountains beyond.

There’s a hot tub and a kitted out summer house in the back garden.

If Lampard fancies a round of golf there are plenty of courses nearby in Formby and the prestigious Royal Birkdale Golf Club is just down the road, which has held more championship and international events since World War II than any other course in the world.

Price £3,500,000

If the Lampards want to put down roots in the area, they may consider buying in Shireburn Road, one of the most expensive streets in Merseyside.
