Set on Duke Street in Southport, this four-bedroom detached Victorian home offers spacious, high-ceiling rooms and full-width bay windows that flood the main reception with natural light. The layout includes three reception rooms, a kitchen, downstairs shower room and four first-floor bedrooms — a flexible plan well suited to growing families or buyers seeking extra home-working space. Double glazing and gas central heating are already in place, and the property is offered freehold with no chain delay.
The house retains period character — large rooms, tall ceilings and bay windows — but requires updating throughout. Some rooms need new flooring and general modernisation; the walls were constructed with cavity walling and are assumed to lack insulation. The garden and paved outdoor area are a decent size but somewhat overgrown and will need tidying; there is also a garage with a corrugated metal roof.
Practical points: broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow and the wider neighbourhood scores as deprived, though crime levels are low and local schools have good Ofsted ratings. The property is initially available only to owner-occupiers for the first six weeks of marketing before being open to accredited private landlords. Buyers should budget for cosmetic and energy-efficiency improvements if upgrading is planned.
This home suits a buyer wanting generous period proportions and room to personalise — bring a renovation budget to unlock the full potential. With its size, layout and garden, it offers straightforward scope to create a comfortable family home close to local amenities and schools.
