This large Victorian semi-detached home on Leicester Street offers five bedrooms, three reception rooms and substantial living space across multiple floors — ideal for growing families who need room to spread out. The property sits within walking distance of Lord Street, local schools and the beachfront, with good public transport links nearby.
The house retains period features such as high ceilings, bay windows, cornicing and feature fireplaces, and includes a large cellar (c.765 sq ft), integrated garage and private driveway providing multiple off-road parking spaces. Double glazing and mains gas central heating are already in place. The generous footprint and dual-aspect layout present clear scope for modernisation and potential further development, subject to planning consent.
Important practical considerations: the property needs renovation and cosmetic updating throughout, with visible paint peeling and general wear. It lies in an area with higher crime levels and very high deprivation locally, which may affect resale or lettability for some buyers. Tenure details supplied with the listing are inconsistent; prospective buyers should verify tenure and legal particulars. EPC: D and council tax band D.
For buyers willing to invest in refurbishment, this is a rare opportunity to create a substantial family home close to Southport’s amenities and seafront. Investors may also find interest in conversion or remodelling possibilities, though any development plans should be checked against local planning constraints and the neighbourhood context.
