Description

This four-bedroom semi-detached property on Croston Avenue in Rainhill represents a unique opportunity for those interested in undertaking a comprehensive renovation project. With a substantial double-storey side extension already in place, the home offers an expansive layout that can be customized to fit the needs and style of its future occupants. The ground floor features a porch leading into an entry hall, transitioning to a spacious living room that flows into the dining area, ideal for everyday use or entertaining guests. There is significant potential to modernize the kitchen and rear hallway, as well as converting the integral garage into additional living space—perfect for those looking to create an open-plan kitchen-diner that reflects contemporary design trends. On the first floor, versatility continues with four or five bedrooms that can accommodate varying needs; one room currently has access through another, potentially serving as a dressing room or study with simple adjustments. There’s also potential to transform this area into a luxurious master suite complete with an en-suite bathroom. A family bathroom rounds out this level. The exterior features a sizeable enclosed rear garden ripe for landscaping or creating outdoor entertainment spaces, alongside off-road parking available at the front. Located centrally in Rainhill, this property is conveniently situated near Whiston Hospital and only a short drive from Prescot's shops and restaurants. Prospective buyers should note past identification of Japanese Knotweed in the garden; however, it has been treated and comes with a new five-year treatment plan ensuring peace of mind moving forward.
