Summary - 1 MERTON ROAD BOOTLE L20 3BG
7 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Seven bedrooms across three floors, approximately 3,208 sq ft
This double-fronted, Grade II listed semi-detached house dates from the 18th century and retains abundant period character: sandstone elevations, exposed beams, original fireplaces and high ceilings. Recently renovated with a new kitchen, bathroom fittings, full rewiring and gas central heating, the property blends historic detail with updated services. At around 3,208 sq ft it provides very spacious accommodation across multiple floors — seven bedrooms, two bathrooms and several reception rooms — suiting a large family or multi-occupancy use.
Set on a large plot with wrap-around gardens, the home offers significant exterior potential. Roadside parking is currently the norm, but the vendor notes scope for additional access or parking subject to planning approval from Sefton Council. The freehold tenure and substantial room count (approximately 12 rooms) add to its flexibility for conversion, shared living or subdivision (subject to consents).
Buyers must note material constraints. Listed status means alterations will be restricted and can complicate extensions or external works. The property is in a very deprived, high-crime area, which may affect insurance and resale appeal. There are only two bathrooms for seven bedrooms, so additional installation may be desirable but will require listed-building consent. On-street parking is available; any driveway creation is subject to planning approval.
This is a rare, characterful opportunity for purchasers who value historic fabric and large internal space and who are prepared to manage the regulatory limits that come with a listed building. It will particularly suit families needing lots of rooms, investors seeking HMO or shared-living potential (subject to planning and licensing), or buyers who want to restore and retain period features while benefiting from recent mechanical and electrical upgrades.
