Summary - 48 BALFOUR ROAD SOUTHPORT PR8 6LE
4 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Four-bedroom Victorian semi with driveway, sunny garden and period features; ideal for families in Southport..
Four bedrooms with high ceilings and period bay window
This attractive four-bedroom Victorian semi occupies a popular residential street in Southport, offered freehold at £300,000. Period features — high ceilings, bay window, decorative mouldings — give rooms a bright, airy feel while a generous layout across two floors provides practical family living. The house measures approximately 1,462 sq ft with about seven main rooms including two reception rooms and a large kitchen/diner that opens to a sun-catching rear garden.
Practical benefits include off-street driveway parking, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile coverage. Nearby good-rated primary and secondary schools, local shops, cafes and bus links make the location family-friendly. EPC C and Council Tax Band C indicate reasonable running costs for a home of this age.
Notable drawbacks are plain and factual: the property sits in an area classed as deprived and the original cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, which could mean higher heating bills and scope for improvement works. There is a single four-piece family bathroom serving four bedrooms, which may be limiting for larger families. Buyers should expect typical Victorian maintenance and potential updating rather than a completely modernised finish.
Overall, this home will suit families seeking period character, space and a sunny garden within easy reach of amenities. It also offers straightforward renovation potential (insulation, bathroom reconfiguration, cosmetic modernisation) to increase comfort and long-term value.
