Externally, the property benefits from a side-access driveway providing off-street parking for up to five vehicles and steps to the front door.

Step up into a bright and welcoming porch, which leads straight ahead into a versatile side room ideal as a home office, playroom, teen retreat, or additional sitting room.

Turning into the main hallway, you are greeted by a traditional Edwardian staircase, complemented by classic wallpaper and a soft beige carpet.

To the left, you will find a charming sitting or dining room, featuring a stunning bay window, original picture rails, and deep skirting boards. An ornamental fire surround offers space to install an electric fire, with a full radiator and an elegant feature light completing the space.

Next, the property opens into a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining/living area.

Kitchen/Dining Room

Next, the property opens into a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining/living area. A striking brick fireplace offers the potential for a gas fire, electric fire, or even a real stove (all subject to relevant regulations). The room is enhanced by a solid oak floor and bespoke hand-painted, solid wood cupboards and shelving in the alcoves adding both character and practicality.

The kitchen itself continues the period charm with more hand-painted solid wood cabinetry, a granite worktop, space for a double oven, and an extractor fan. From here, you can access the garden via an annex originally built as a home office, providing a perfect indoor-outdoor connection. To the side of the kitchen is a convenient utility area and a ground floor toilet. It is worth noting that several neighbouring properties have extended this area into a full-length kitchen/diner with bi-fold doors and skylights.

Steps also lead down from the kitchen to a cellar, unusually bright thanks to a patterned glass door that opens to the outside making it a useful and adaptable space. Similar properties nearby have transformed their cellars into sound studios, kitchens, or additional living space.

First Floor

Returning to the hallway, ascend the stairs to the first floor. Here, you will find a modern shower room alongside a separate fitted bathroom.

There are three generously sized double bedrooms on this floor, one featuring a beautiful bay window. The views from the front-facing rooms are simply breath-taking: Stretching across Cheshire and Liverpool, and on a clear day, offering glimpses of both cathedrals, Beeston Castle, and Helsby Hill. The current owners believe only a handful of homes on the Wirral can offer such panoramic views and sunrises over Cheshire are truly unforgettable.

A staircase from the first floor leads to the second floor, where you will find a spacious full-sized bedroom arranged over two sections, offering incredible flexibility. This space includes its own private shower room, making it ideal as a guest suite, teenage retreat, or luxurious principal bedroom. This can be turned into 2 separate bedrooms. The views from this floor are truly spectacular, the Welsh hills visible from the rear window, Liverpool skyline from the side window and Cheshire countryside through a charming roof window.
