"This rather elegant Edwardian house stands out from the crowd for a couple of very specific reasons. Firstly for its original design - one of a pair like no others here; secondly for its orientation that allows for maximum daylight within key rooms of the house; thirdly for the dedication to detail of introduced sympathetic 'upgrades' over latter years which both compliment and enhance the existing.

Graceful This rather elegant Edwardian house stands out from the crowd for a couple of very specific reasons. Firstly for its original design - one of a pair like no others here; secondly for its orientation that allows for maximum daylight within key rooms of the house; thirdly for the dedication to detail of introduced sympathetic 'upgrades' over latter years which both compliment and enhance the existing. Pictures paint...... To capture all that has been enjoyed in this charming home is not impossible but certainly extensive and for that, on this occasion, we're going to let the photographs do most of the talking....but not all. Take it from someone who knows 'The light from the double aspect rooms is still a true delight'; 'turn a right angle and you picture the house in a completely different way'; 'sunlight bounces around in the dressing room'; there's sun in the garden somewhere throughout the day - somewhere always to sit and enjoy'; 'this is such an easy house to live in'. Quotes and a tribute, perhaps, to a house that has been much enjoyed. Little extras Oak strip floors run throughout much of the ground floor from the hall (with mini artefacts from the arts & craft era: newel post, glass door knobs et al) through into the drawing room - perhaps today more practically labelled dining and living room - and into what is fondly called the 'green room' or day room from where a french door opens onto the garden. An open Ilminster fireplace stands proud and competes with the neo Georgian bay windows as top focal point to this delightful drawing room. Coving vary, sometimes curves and runs through each room. Bespoke The kitchen breakfast room with its own central focal point: the Aga (negotiable), has hand crafted Nelson & Pate pine kitchen units that extend quite comprehensively into the utility. The utility is where all the noisy stuff is located: sink, plumbing etc. With further access to useful storage. Both rooms have pretty views on to the garden and veranda. Six quite charming and very individual bedrooms are presented on two floors. Three we'd like to highlight as follows: Our favourites The rear double bedroom for its pretty and original en suite bathroom facilities; the so called 'dressing room' for its generous light, (three windows), its beautiful and detailed wardrobe furniture with hidden vanity facilities and Fired Earth bowl and appropriate lighting and incorporated 'trays' and 'draws' within. Thirdly the bedroom which mirrors the 'green room'. Another charming room or study or library more like, with book shelves galore. Modern, extravagant Before leaving the first floor we feel obliged to mention the bathroom. Thoroughly modern, thoroughly enjoyable to see and best of all thoroughly pleasing to use (probably). In fact this room and 'dressing room' epitomises that attention to detail. Plenty of room The top floor has been just as much used and appreciated; room enough too perhaps for a future second en suite. Good height, good space, good storage and most of all good light. Outdoors ...and so to outside. Much to enchant here too - from the sunken front garden and rockery area with an Edwardian Italian slant in design - apparently - to the sweeping patio and lawns that extend up to the hedge with awaiting veg plot behind and in front of a handsome sandstone wall - and to the veranda. Simultaneously a particularly charming and practical space - somewhere to rest, to eat out under as well as to store within - with outside loo and various stores - potting shed, coal house etc and all serviced by its very own Belfast sink. Central as can be.... It would be remiss not to express a few words on the ideal location. With schools always in mind for such a family house we would bring to your attention the proximity of schools such as St Anselms, Redcourt, St Saviours, Birkenhead School and Birkenhead School Academy as well of course as Birkenhead Sixth Form College : all very close at hand with St Saviours probably the furthest away; three minutes in the car. Directions From picking the children up from school, let's say St Saviours school, drive along Talbot Road continuing into Bidston Rd through the traffic lights passed Birkenhead School and just before the golf club (two hundred yards on the left) turn right into Howbeck Road and left into Brancote Road.
