Large period house with lake views and major renovation potential.
Overlooking Marine Lake and Southport Promenade
Set on Albany Road with direct views over Southport’s Marine Lake and Promenade, this imposing Victorian semi-detached house spans four floors and offers extensive family living with substantial renovation upside. The property retains original period features, two bay-front reception rooms, a formal dining room, cellar storage and a balcony with lake views — a strong platform for a bespoke restoration or conversion into multiple units.
Arranged over ground, first, second and full cellar levels, the layout includes six to seven bedrooms, three bathrooms, large reception rooms and an integrated garage. The top floor has clear potential for a self-contained annexe, studio or home-office suite, while the large plot and front garden add privacy and scope for external improvements.
Practical considerations: the house requires comprehensive modernisation and likely works to services and finishes. Broadband is slow locally and the wider area records high crime rates and marked deprivation; these factors may affect some buyers or rental values. The property is freehold, council tax band C and sits close to good-rated primary and secondary schools and local bus links, which will appeal to families and investors prepared to refurbish.
For buyers seeking character and scale in a prime promenade location, this home is a rare project with clear value drivers — lakefront aspect, substantial square footage (3,122 sq ft), off-road parking and large plot — balanced by the need for renovation and local area challenges.
