Former Sands Public House, Shore Road, Ainsdale, Ainsdale, PR8 2QD

Description
The former hotel is situated on the Coastal Road between Southport and Formby. It has a large car park and is within walking distance of Ainsdale Station. It is handy for walkers and cyclists using the Sefton Coastal Path (Crosby to Crossens), the Trans Pennine Trail and the soon to be opened section of the England Coast Path.

On the instructions of Sefton MBC we are offering The Former Sands Public House as a redevelopment opportunity. We are seeking proposals for this important gateway location with a prominent position close to the nearby leisure amnesties of Ainsdale beach.

Location
The Former Sands Public House, owned by Sefton Council, is located in a prominent position in Ainsdale-on-sea, one of the Key Gateways to the Sefton Coast close to Ainsdale village. Ainsdale is a small but affluent seaside village located just a few minutes’ drive between Formby ( 4.5 miles) and Southport (3.9 miles). The property is nestled at the heart of Ainsdale & Birkdale Sandhills Local Nature Reserve and close to Ainsdale National Nature Reserve. Immediately adjacent is the popular ‘Sands Lake’ and nature trail.

The property also has the benefit of being located near Ainsdale beach. The beach and dunes are part of the Sefton Coast Site of Special Interest (SSSI), one of the largest areas of dunes left in Britain, a biodiversity hotspot and home to a vast diversity array of rare plant and animal species.

Ainsdale Beach is a busy Lifeguarded amenity beach and a designated bathing water with good water quality.
