The ground floor offers a choice of two spacious versatile reception rooms, including a rear dining room with French doors leading to a decking area and garden. There is also a separate fitted kitchen with breakfast bar, while a downstairs WC adds further practicality.

Upstairs, across two floors are five well-proportioned bedrooms, including a particularly useful fifth bedroom with its own en-suite shower room. The main family bathroom has also been completely renovated, creating a smart and functional space for everyday living with twin sinks.

The accommodation continues into the impressive loft conversion with dormer extension, which was comprehensively renovated in 2023.

A spacious decking area and paved patio provide the perfect setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the artificial lawn is complemented by attractive raised planting beds. To the front, a large driveway offers ample off-road parking and leads to a detached garage at the rear.

The home has been carefully maintained and improved by the current owners, including a new boiler and Stuart Turner pump and cylinder to significantly improve water pressure, repaired chimney stacks, replacement windows to the rear and side installed by a FENSA-approved installer, and further external improvements including repainting and spray-painted windows.

Combining generous living accommodation, timeless period features and a highly desirable location, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home in one of Crosby's most sought-after residential areas.

Notes from the Seller: I love the view from the loft room window; if you look carefully you can see Anfield stadium and across the water to Wirral. On New Year’s Eve and Bonfire Night it is amazing to watch the fireworks from there. I’ll miss the convenient location: just a five-minute walk for the school drop off and round the corner from the beach and Crosby leisure centre. But my favourite thing is the spacious bathroom. With a few candles lit and music on the Bluetooth speakers in the ceiling it feels like a spa!
