Description

This impressive double-fronted Victorian semi-detached house presents a unique renovation opportunity, gracefully blending its rich historical character with the potential for modern enhancements. Set back behind an elevated garden, the home showcases timeless period features such as original coving and intricate moldings, welcoming you into a grand entrance hallway that leads to a sweeping staircase and a galleried landing—a perfect canvas to restore or refresh these magnificent elements. The spacious ground floor comprises multiple living areas, including a bay-fronted lounge and formal dining room, both retaining their Victorian elegance while also allowing for contemporary updates. The dedicated cinema room and bespoke bar provide excellent spaces for leisure, while the kitchen diner serves as the central hub of family life—ideal for reconfiguration to suit modern tastes. Upstairs, the first floor's split-level galleried landing offers access to four generously sized double bedrooms, highlighted by a master suite with an ensuite shower. The family bathroom has been partially updated but still offers opportunities for further improvement. The second floor features a self-contained apartment with two additional bedrooms and its own living space, perfect for guests or as rental accommodation. Externally, the front garden is well-maintained and features a charming patio area. The expansive rear garden includes an enclosed entertaining space with patio facilities and a historic coach-house offering significant development potential. Previously approved for conversion into an independent dwelling, this feature greatly enhances the property's investment appeal. Located in one of St Helens' most desirable neighborhoods and within easy reach of local amenities, schools, parks, and major transport links, this property stands out not only for its size and character but also its outstanding renovation potential.
