Description

This five-bedroom period semi-detached house occupies a prominent corner plot and offers three floors of accommodation, with substantial reception rooms and original architectural details. The entrance vestibule and staircase feature hand-painted murals, while the reception spaces include leaded windows, fireplaces, decorative ceiling details and exposed beams. A breakfast kitchen, separate utility room, ground-floor WC and understairs storage complete the ground floor. The first floor has four double bedrooms, a family bathroom with a separate shower and a further WC. On the second floor, a large room created by removing the dividing wall between two former bedrooms could serve as a bedroom, studio or games room. A storage room and landing with a floor-set skylight are also on this level. Outside, lawned gardens wrap around the front and side, with further garden space to the rear, two gated driveways and a detached garage. The adjoining land is being offered separately and is stated to have planning permission for a three-bedroom detached dwelling. The house is currently held under one title, and the proposed boundary division is approximate and subject to legal confirmation. There is also an option to purchase the property with the original plot intact. The house presents scope for a new owner to update its interiors while retaining its period features. Local amenities, schools and Blundellsands & Crosby railway station are within reach.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

81out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £650,000, Glenroyd is priced at about £197 per sq ft, well below the local average of £267—a strong opportunity to acquire a substantial period home at a comparatively low price per square foot. Its generous reception spaces, leaded windows, fireplaces and timber details provide a distinctive canvas, while the visible work is mainly a light refresh: dated décor and flooring, some garden tidying, and a modest renovation range of £5,000–£15,000. Staining around the upper landing skylight is worth investigating.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh dated wallpaper, colour schemes and floor finishes across the photographed interiors while retaining the period features.
  • Make the most of the generous reception rooms, leaded windows, fireplaces and timber detailing.
  • Tidy the overgrown rear planting and borders around the usable lawn and driveway areas.

Key risks

  • Investigate the visible staining around the upper landing skylight and check the surrounding condition.
