"This is a very exciting 'Project House' for all sorts of reasons; not least for the overall size - 2/3 reception plus five bedrooms - as well as for the position of the house, so handy for a well regarded selection of both primary and secondary schools including St Anselm's which stands opposite...

Retain the Character More than that, this is an exciting proposition due to many original features remaining intact in the house; features many of you would wish to retain. The hall is a prime example of that. Take a look at the thirties oval glazed front door, the picture rail, staircase and wood block floor, for example. A one off? In truth it's rare to find a house of this proportion and in such a good location as this these days, anywhere around Claughton or Oxton. In fact, given the expanse of the second floor accommodation in particular, together with the opportunities to make your own mark, this has to be, let's say, quite a find. Tried & very well trusted And that potential oozes out of this family home, a home that's been in the same family since 1930; where two generations have grown up, walked to school, walked to town, caught the bus or train to Liverpool, thus appreciated the proximity to all regular, daily facilities. They've also enjoyed the use of a much bigger traditional family house. Endless opportunities During planning of your refurbishment you might consider the following. Within the generous sized hall (both wide and long) is room enough to incorporate a cloakroom to the under stair store cupboard. We expect you'd plan to knock through from the original morning room through to the kitchenette and or knock through from here and make an open plan dining family kitchen room by integrating the existing rear dining room. You'd probably want to expose the remaining wood block floors to each of the living rooms too. Meanwhile, at first floor, you'll see the extra large bathroom and separate wc. Clear scope here to incorporate a second loo into these facilities - handy with a house full of children. That or an alternative rearrangement would be to pinch a little space off the large double bedroom adjacent and create bathroom and en suite facilities. At the top of the house At second floor more creative planning awaits. Firstly to the front bedroom. This has an unusual mezzanine shelf with triangulated window (you can see this from the front photograph). This room generated hours of interest and fun for the children of the house offering great storage (or hiding places) in its time. One could open all this out to make better and more practical use of the room, whilst highlighting the unusual design, given there is packs of eaves storage to this floor in both the next bedroom as well as the large landing area. Whilst on the landing we'd also point out one large store cupboard in particular which would accommodate a shower room for the teenagers who are likely to commandeer this floor. Bigger than first impressions Of course you will refer to the floor plan to confirm how spacious each principal room in the house actually is before you decide on a viewing. We'd just like to add our penny worth by stating that the front rooms - living room and main bedroom are of a particularly generous size given the bay windows they enjoy. There's also a splendid splayed bay window with central french door to the dining room which gives the room added depth too. Some of the windows, especially to the front of the house are in a hardwood frame. You also need to know that the gas central heating boiler was only replaced approximately two years ago. Outside The opportunities don't stop here. Whilst to the rear of the house is an absolutely charming and sensibly proportioned 'family' garden; private, established with a few fruit trees etc; there's much else you can add and redesign should you like to redesign your own garden. Start with a conservatory. This would take next to no space off the garden plot and given the garden faces south west, you'll enjoy pretty much all day sunshine. The various outhouses behind and attached to the garage may give you an inclining to make as one larger potting shed or studio perhaps, although the outside loo in one of the three is, of course, very handy for little gardeners. Summary A terrific house with amazing opportunities and potential. A blank canvas, as we say, with a near perfect setting and location. Final word then is to offer you an invitation to view. As key holders we can normally accommodate a viewing at fairly short notice.
