A substantial double-fronted Victorian detached house offering five double bedrooms and generous living space across multiple levels — ideal for a growing family wanting room to spread out. The property sits close to Southport town centre and the seafront, putting shops, schools and transport within easy walking distance. It comes with off-street parking, an enclosed rear garden and useful basement rooms that add flexible space.
Period features — bay windows, decorative cornicing, high ceilings and original fireplaces — give character throughout and create bright, airy rooms. There is scope to add an en-suite to the master bedroom (subject to planning) and further opportunity to modernise the kitchen, bathrooms and basement to suit contemporary family life.
Buyers should note material facts clearly: the house was built before 1900 with cavity walls assumed to have no insulation, double glazing was installed before 2002, and the property sits in an area with higher crime levels and local deprivation. Council tax is above average and broadband speeds are only average. These factors, together with cosmetic updating needs in parts of the house, are reflected in the renovation potential and running costs.
Offered freehold and chain free, this home suits families seeking roomy Victorian character near the coast who are prepared to invest in targeted upgrades — particularly insulation, heating/electrical checks and modernisation — to unlock its full potential.
