5 Bed Detached House For Sale

One of just two properties on this quiet cul-de-sac, 1 Winnington Road is an imposing, detached five-bedroom house brimming with character and original Victorian features.


Conveniently located close to independent shops, the local tennis club and the vibrant café culture of Hoylake and West Kirby it also falls within the catchment area of local grammar schools. The beach is within easy walking distance and the Royal Liverpool Golf Club, home to the 2023 British Open Golf Championship, is just 300 metres away.

Standing on a plot of some 1500 square metres the property includes a substantial, detached mezzanine garage/workshop for which pre-planning approval has been granted for conversion to a separate bungalow. This offers huge development potential to any prospective purchaser. Alternately the new owner could utilise the space as a home office, studio, or gym.

To the side of the garages there is ample space for off road parking which can accommodate numerous large vehicles or boats, in privacy, concealed from public view.

The main entrance to the house is reached via an original cobblestone path, lit by an antique Dutch lamppost. The front porch opens into a spacious reception hall off which are two large reception rooms, a downstairs toilet and shower, a cloakroom, and the kitchen/diner. As is typical of Victorian properties of this size the reception rooms are beautifully proportioned with high ceilings and large windows. The larger of the two is particularly impressive incorporating both dining and seating space with a stunning fire-place hand carved from a single block of bath stone. The spacious family kitchen/diner leads out to an orangery and from there out into the gardens. The extensive gardens include lawns and a paved area ideal for entertaining.

From the entrance hall the wide staircase leads up to the first floor on which are five double bedrooms as well as the family bathroom/wet room. The loft space above is presently used only for storage, but could easily provide further accommodation, subject of course to necessary approvals. Investing in this property not only offers a wonderful family living space but opens the doors to capital growth from future development.
