Summary - Penkett Road, Wallasey CH45 7QF
6 bed 3 bath Semi-Detached
Versatile period property with gardens, parking and substantial refurbishment potential.
["Six bedrooms over four floors — flexible layout for family or rental use","Three bathrooms plus downstairs WC — good for busy households","Basement with high ceilings, power and lighting — needs reinstating windows/works","Three garages with power and water; Manweb substation access must be retained","Built before 1900 with solid brick walls — likely lacking cavity insulation","EPC D and area classed as deprived — potential energy and resale considerations"]
This substantial six-bedroom semi-detached house on Penkett Road offers generous living across four floors, with flexible rooms that suit a large family or investor. The property combines period character—deep skirting, coving and high ceilings—with upgraded contemporary kitchens and bathrooms. Three bathrooms, a ground-floor WC and a large basement add practical versatility, while front and rear gardens provide outdoor space for afternoon and evening sun.
Practical strengths include off-street parking, three garages with power and water feeds, mains gas central heating and double glazing. The house is sold freehold and chain free, with council tax in Band B and a decent overall plot size. The basement has high ceilings, power and lighting and offers development potential if you reinstate blocked windows and create internal access.
Key drawbacks are factual and important: the property was built before 1900 with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, and the EPC is rated D. There is a Manweb electric substation behind the garages that requires retained access. The local area scores as deprived and is classed as ageing urban communities, which may affect long-term resale in some buyer segments.
Overall this is a roomy, characterful house with clear potential for renovation or conversion of the basement and garage spaces. It suits buyers who value space and flexibility and are prepared for improvement work to maximise energy performance and basement refurbishment.
