Killer teacher Jamie Varley's luxury new Grimsargh home up for sale - but with estate agent warning

On the market for sale at online auction with Your Move with a guide price of £370,000, this is the home belonging to Blackpool’s killer teacher Jamie Varley and his now-ex boyfriend John McGowan-Fazakerley.

Former Lanccashire teacher Varley, 37, was earlier this month told he would die in prison for the sexual abuse and murder of 13-month-old baby Preston Davey. McGowan-Fazakerley was sentenced to 25 years for allowing the death of a child, child cruelty and sexual assault.

However, according to estate agents Your Move, while the vendor is ‘currently serving a custodial sentence following conviction for offences involving minors... it is understood that the offences were not committed at the property. This information is being provided in the interests of transparency and to assist prospective purchasers in making an informed decision.’

The online auction for the property will close at 1pm on 13 July 2027.

The estate agent describes the home as an immaculate five-bedroom detached home which occupies a sought-after location surrounded by green spaces and enjoys stunning views, making it an ideal choice for those seeking generous living space and a contemporary finish throughout.

The property offers two spacious reception rooms, providing flexible areas for relaxing and entertaining. A modern kitchen with a dining area creates a welcoming space for meals and social occasions, with a layout designed to combine style, comfort and practicality.

Upstairs, there are five well-presented bedrooms, including four doubles. The impressive principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and a stylish en-suite bathroom, while a second double bedroom also features its own en-suite. A beautifully finished main bathroom includes a heated towel rail for added comfort.

Outside, the home boasts a private garden, perfect for children, outdoor entertaining or al fresco dining during the warmer months. An integral double garage provides secure parking and additional storage, while a comprehensive CCTV system offers extra security and peace of mind.

Situated within a peaceful and picturesque community, the estate agent says the property combines the appeal of countryside surroundings with convenient access to local amenities.
