Set on a substantial plot in Meols, this detached four-bedroom house combines mid-20th-century character with clear scope for modernisation. The property offers three reception rooms, a downstairs cloakroom, attached garage and off-street parking — practical features for family life. The front and rear gardens are well-proportioned and private, ideal for children or gardening enthusiasts.
Internally the rooms are generous and retain period features that provide a strong basis for refurbishment. The current layout and solid footprint suit a family wanting flexible living space or buyers aiming to add value through sympathetic updating. There is potential to extend or redevelop further, subject to planning permission, given the large plot.
Important practical points: the house requires renovation throughout and has only one bathroom, so some investment will be needed to bring it to modern standards. Council tax is band F, which should be factored into running costs. The property is offered chain free and benefits from excellent local amenities, good schools and fast broadband, with Meols rail links and nearby coastal and park recreation adding lifestyle appeal.
Overall, this is a straightforward opportunity for a growing family or buyer seeking a period home with space to personalise. With a clear renovation brief and a generous plot, the house offers both immediate livable areas and tangible long-term upside once modernised.
