Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house presents a unique opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a property with significant potential. Having been in the same family for over forty years, this home is now available for the first time, offering generous proportions and a wealth of character that can be enhanced through renovation. The entrance hallway creates an inviting atmosphere, leading to a spacious reception room currently utilized as a home office. The main living room is further along the hallway, while the rear of the home features a sizable kitchen that connects to a lean-to, which serves as a utility and storage area. This space is ripe for reconfiguration to better suit modern living needs. On the first floor, you will find two ample double bedrooms. The front bedroom is bright and airy, complete with a built-in wardrobe, while the second retains its original fireplace, adding charm and character. A family bathroom with a shower and a separate WC are also located on this level. The top floor hosts an additional light-filled double bedroom and a half-boarded loft area, which offers exciting possibilities for expansion, such as creating an en-suite or additional living space, subject to necessary permissions. Externally, the side courtyard is designed for low maintenance but also offers potential for enhancement or redesign to suit personal preferences. The property benefits from on-road parking at the front, with the possibility of converting part of the paved area into off-road parking, pending any required consents. Situated in the desirable Birkdale area, this home is just a short walk from Birkdale Village, which boasts a vibrant selection of cafés, restaurants, and independent shops, alongside excellent transport links. Supermarkets and everyday amenities are also within easy reach. This property combines ample living space with period features and exceptional potential, making it a rare opportunity to create a wonderful family home in a highly sought-after location.
