Warren House · Southport

Magical at Night

As the light fades

When the sun goes down, the magic comes out

There's something about Warren House after dark. As the sun sets down the garden it floods the living room and kitchen with golden light, and as dusk falls a beautifully designed lighting scheme brings the whole house and garden to life. It's the kind of place that makes you reach for your phone, and your friends.

The Sunset

Built to face the setting sun

A previous owner built the house so that, at the end of the day, the sun shines straight down the garden and into the living room and kitchen. Look out and your eye travels across the lawn, a meadow with grazing cows, and on to the pines of the Ainsdale Nature Reserve, with Ainsdale beach and the sea just beyond, facing Ireland and, somewhere far over the horizon, America.

The Lighting Design

Lit to perfection, down to the last detail

The garden and house have been given real care in their lighting design: each area lit to create a warm, classic feel. The effect after dark is genuinely magical.

An Instagram Dream

Go on, “Go Crazy”

The house is wonderfully photogenic at night: show it off on your socials and capture memories you'll keep forever. The sophisticated default is a warm white… but if blue, green or purple is more your mood, an LED remote with a full colour wheel lets you light the whole house however you like.

Automatic On & Off

Nothing to think about

On at dusk

The outside lights illuminate the place automatically as the light fades, with nothing to switch.

Off by morning

By the time you're up they've already turned themselves off.

Sensor-activated

Lights trigger on sensors too, for a trip to the car or a late-night wander.

The Festive Season

Amazing at Christmas

The garden turns truly magical at Christmas: carefully decorated with lights, with reindeer at home among the trees and lawns, lit garlands along the balcony and beautifully decorated trees inside.
