Summary - 415 OLD CHESTER ROAD BIRKENHEAD CH42 2DU
5 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Double-fronted Victorian semi with huge renovation potential and no onward chain.
Five bedrooms; three doubles and two large single rooms
A spacious double-fronted Victorian semi with five bedrooms and generous reception rooms, ideal for a growing family or buy-to-let investor seeking scale. The house is chain-free and freehold, offering straightforward purchase and the potential to create modern family living while retaining period character.
The property requires modernisation throughout: some features are dated and the solid brick walls likely lack insulation. Practical positives include a modern-fitted kitchen, a contemporary family bathroom, double glazing installed before 2002, mains gas central heating and a low-maintenance rear garden with decking and patio. The layout includes large bay-fronted reception rooms, high ceilings and a useful utility room.
Location delivers everyday convenience with good transport links, fast broadband and a range of local amenities and schools rated Good. Note the wider area is classified as very deprived; prospective buyers should consider local market values and any improvement costs when budgeting. Council tax is very cheap, and the plot offers side access and scope for off-road parking subject to planning.
This is a clear renovation project for anyone wanting to add value or tailor a family home to modern standards. Structural character and space are strengths; expect to invest in upgrades such as insulation, cosmetic refurbishment and possible electrical or mechanical improvements to maximise comfort and resale value.
