An impressive Edwardian semi with spacious rooms and a rare, south-facing garden in central Prenton. The entrance hall’s 15-foot ceilings and original woodwork set a grand tone, while three reception rooms and a conservatory create versatile living and entertaining spaces. The recently renewed roof and a modernised galley kitchen provide practical benefits alongside period character.
Five double bedrooms across three floors suit a growing family or multi-generational living. The house has generous storage and opportunities for additional bathrooms by converting existing walk-in cupboards on the upper floors. The large plot and private courtyard enhance outdoor living; the garden receives abundant sun and offers scope for landscaping or extension (subject to consents).
Buyers should note some clear renovation items: the detached garage is ready for demolition, the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, and glazing is secondary rather than modern double glazing. There is only one full bathroom plus a separate WC; adding extra shower rooms would improve daily convenience. Council tax is high — factor ongoing costs into budgeting.
Overall this is a substantial, character-rich home in an affluent, well-served suburb close to good schools and transport links. It will best suit buyers who value period detail and generous outdoor space and who are prepared to invest in targeted updating to unlock the property’s full potential.
