Spacious four-bedroom period residence with basement potential and detached garage.
Freehold Victorian double-fronted residence, approx. 3,584 sq ft
An imposing double-fronted Victorian residence offering extremely large accommodation across four floors and approximately 3,584 sq ft. Set on Leyland Road with a cobbled driveway, detached single garage and a well-maintained garden with summer house, the property combines generous living space with authentic period detailing such as high ceilings, ornate cornices and a decorative fireplace.
The house is freehold and chain-free, arranged as four spacious bedrooms, three reception rooms, a family bathroom, two en-suites and a downstairs WC. A three-room basement provides clear scope for conversion to additional double bedrooms or ancillary living space, subject to necessary consents. The property has mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators) and double glazing installed before 2002; the EPC is rated D.
Buyers should note practical constraints: council tax is expensive, broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and local crime levels are above average. The house was constructed between 1930–1949 and will suit purchasers who value period character and generous proportions but are prepared to manage modernisation and potential renovation to maximise the basement and update older fittings.
Positioned close to Southport town centre, the train station and several Ofsted-rated good schools, this home will appeal to families and those seeking commuter convenience while enjoying a characterful property. The location sits within a broadly deprived local area with an ageing population profile, so buyers should weigh long-term investment expectations against local market characteristics.
