This substantial Victorian semi-detached house spreads over four floors and roughly 2,525 sq ft, offering seven bedrooms, three reception rooms and a garden — rare space for a large family in Bootle. Period brickwork, bay windows and high ceilings give the property character and a sense of scale, with an external brick outbuilding and basement adding useful storage or project space.
Practical benefits include a long lease (868 years remaining), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and low flood risk. Local schools nearby include several rated Good and Outstanding, and council tax sits at a modest Band C level — helpful for household budgeting.
Buyers should be aware of important local context: the area is described as very deprived and crime levels are very high, which will affect day-to-day living and rental appeal. The house has only two bathrooms for seven bedrooms and will likely need updating to modern family or rental standards — a material point for budgeting renovations and ongoing maintenance.
For families seeking substantial, characterful accommodation or investors looking for a large HMO or refurbishment opportunity, this property offers scale and flexibility. Its long lease and solid Victorian build provide a stable legal and structural basis, but factor in area challenges and probable refurbishment costs when considering the purchase.
