Anfield stadium could become one of Liverpool’s most exclusive addresses – for half of Merseyside at least – as plans were outlined to build executive apartments within the Reds’ rebuilt ground.

Liverpool Football Club is after permission to incorporate eight exclusive apartments within the extended Anfield Road stand.

It is unclear whether the apartments would be rented or sold by the club – the club has only applied for outline planning consent at this stage.

But one estate agent said demand to live at Anfield Stadium would be “phenomenal”.

Alan Bevan, of City Residential, told the ECHO: “Given the unique nature of what is proposed, then I would imagine that there would be a phenomenal interest from some of Liverpool’s most devoted fans.

“It is difficult to say what they would be worth, but I am sure there would be huge demand for such a unique property.”

Liverpool last week submitted their redevelopment plans to the city council to increase Anfield's capacity to just under 59,000.

The document applies for detailed planning consent to expand the Main Stand, taking its capacity up by 8,500 to 21,000 and outline consent for Anfield Road, increasing its seating capacity by 4,800.

The applications detail how eight apartments could be built within the fifth floor of the rebuilt stand – above three tiers of seating. The space could also be used for the club’s commercial activities.

The report states: “That development will be subject to further feasibility and financial modelling. Once LFC is satisfied that there is a sound business case to proceed with that part of the development an application for reserved matters for phase two will be submitted."

Under the rebuild plans, Anfield’s total capacity will rise from 45,500 to 58,800.

Construction work could begin early next year and be finished in time for the 2016-17 season if the council’s planning committee approved the detailed application.
