Located on a premier residential road in Birkdale, this five-bedroom detached home offers nearly 2,000 square feet of space that balances classic character with contemporary updates. The red-brick exterior is set back behind a gated gravel driveway, providing ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles.
Inside, the entrance hall features original-style stained-glass door inserts and high ceilings decorated with intricate plaster cornicing and ornate ceiling roses. The walls are finished with elegant panelling in a soft sage green, a detail that continues up the staircase. The main lounge is defined by a large arched bay window, where leaded stained-glass details sit above bespoke white shutters. A traditional fireplace with a classic white mantle serves as a central feature, framed by deep decorative friezes.
At the rear, the property opens into a bright, open-plan kitchen and dining area. The kitchen is fitted with sleek, white cabinetry and a central island designed for both cooking and socialising. Industrial-style grey radiators and a feature brick-effect wall add a modern edge to the space, while French doors connect the room directly to the garden. A practical utility room and a stylish ground-floor cloakroom, complete with botanical wallpaper and wainscoting, provide additional convenience for a busy household.
The first floor contains five versatile bedrooms, providing flexibility for family use, guest accommodation, or a home office. The principal bedroom offers a quiet view over the rear garden, and all rooms are served by modern family bathroom facilities.
The rear garden features a substantial two-tiered stone-paved patio, offering plenty of space for outdoor dining and seating areas. Beyond the patio is a well-kept lawn bordered by established greenery.
