This Grade II listed Victorian townhouse on Canning Street combines generous living space with high-quality contemporary finishes, arranged over multiple floors. The hand-crafted kitchen, oak parquet flooring and a five-piece bathroom suite create an immediate sense of crafted, comfortable living for a family who value both period character and modern convenience.
At around 2,088 sq ft the house feels unusually large for a terraced home: spacious reception rooms, high ceilings and large sash windows give light-filled rooms and flexible layouts. A freshly landscaped rear garden offers private outdoor space, while a cellar and a large loft (two full-height rooms) present clear renovation potential for extra accommodation or storage.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, a new eco boiler for lower running costs and close walking distance to Liverpool City Centre, cultural venues and good transport links. The property has been recently refurbished to a high standard, but the Grade II listing means any future alterations will be restricted and require consent.
Buyers should note material negatives: the listing status will cause planning and works difficulties; the wider area is very deprived and local crime is above average; some original walls are solid brick with assumed little insulation. EPC grade D and council tax band C are factual details to consider. This house suits buyers who want generous period space with bespoke finishes and scope to personalise remaining attic and cellar areas, prepared to work within listed-building constraints and an urban neighbourhood context.
