Summary - 5, COLLEGE AVENUE L37 3JJ
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Large family home with gardens and garage near beach and good schools.
Victorian semi-detached dating from 1840, full of original features
A substantial Victorian semi-detached home offering generous living space and classic period detail, ideal for families who value light, character and garden space. High ceilings, bay windows, original fireplaces, stained glass and ornate coving create a distinctive interior that blends with modern conveniences such as a recently fitted family bathroom and a high-spec kitchen with integrated Miele appliances.
The ground floor features a large front lounge, a broad open-plan kitchen/diner/family room with bi-fold doors to the garden, plus a separate dining room and ground-floor shower room — all arranged to suit everyday family life and entertaining. Four well-proportioned bedrooms occupy the upper levels, including an unusually long bedroom served from a separate staircase, giving flexible layout options for home working or guests.
Outside there is strong kerb appeal: electric gates, a wide driveway for several cars and an attached garage with internal access. The rear garden is large and private, with a cobbled patio and extensive lawn — good for children and summer gatherings. The house sits in a quiet, affluent area close to highly regarded schools, Freshfield station, the Pinewoods and Formby beach.
A few practical points to note: there is an indicated area of traditional damp in the living room that should be inspected, the property’s cavity walls are listed as built with no insulation (assumed), and the double glazing installation date is not specified. These are typical considerations for a pre-1900 home and should be checked during survey and conveyancing.
