'Completely transformed' home jumps in price to more than £500k

A home that has been “completely transformed” has been put on the market in Merseyside.

The five bedroom detached house has been recently fully refurbished by the current owners. It was originally listed in 2006 for £250,000, however, after the revamp and having been extended to the side, rear and first floor, it’s now being sold for £895,000.

Found on Hillside Road, in West Kirby, the modern home is described as being someone's “dream executive home” thanks to its fully landscaped gardens, new interior and luxurious finishing touches. Highlights also include a main bedroom with a dressing room, en-suite and balcony overlooking the garden.

Images of the property show that the ground floor begins with an entrance hallway which leads to a kitchen dining area. The kitchen has been custom designed and is fully integrated with a dual zone wine fridge, boiling water tap and an island.

This area has a mixture of bifold and sliding doors which lead to the garden and a patio area. The wraparound patio is described as being perfect for entertaining in the south west facing garden. The garden is complete with a summer house.

A playroom, utility room with laundry chute, sitting room, office, shower room and separate lounge make up the rest of the ground floor. On the first floor there are two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms while the others share a family bathroom.

The Karl Tatler listing reads: "This impressive, fully refurbished five bedroom detached property has been completely transformed by the current sellers into a beautifully presented, dream executive home.

"Having been extended to the side, rear and first floor, a versatile and flexible layout is the end result making this a wonderful prospect for any family, including those looking for ground floor living or a potential granny annexe. Offering the best of both worlds, the house is located in a popular residential area but remains within walking distance of town centre and is within the catchment for some of the best schools on the Wirral."
