Massive character property near affluent village on the market

A period property with heaps of potential is up for grabs near one of Merseyside's most affluent villages.

The five-bedroom, two-bathroom house is on Fairclough Lane in Oxton, on the Wirral , and is being marketed for offers over £727,000. It has a number of original features and quirks, including being separated into two living quarters.

Guests are welcomed into a wide hallway dripping with character, with a panelled curved staircase and beautiful stained-glass window.

The ground floor is pretty much split into two separate residences. The main house has a large lounge with a floor to ceiling bay window, letting in heaps of natural light, along with a kitchen, dining area and another sitting room.

The annexe has its own private entrance and is a decent size; the shower room is tucked away at the front, with a living area at the rear.

The kitchen and dining area takes centre stage, with a stunning bare brick feature wall housing the stove in its recess and a spiral staircase leading to the first floor of the home.

The annexe features two bedrooms, both of which are totally private to the main house. Meanwhile, the main house has three bedrooms, one of which is en-suite, along with a family bathroom.

The "well-established" rear garden is "huge" and offers plenty of privacy from its mature trees.

The house is on the market with Karl Tatler, which called it a "rare gem" offering "fantastic versatile living".

The listing said: "This home would suit extended family living or the option to convert back to one complete residence."

The opportunity to buy on Fairclough Lane is a rare one - last house to sell there was a five-bed property for £595,000 in 2021. Before that, the last time a home changed hands on the road was in 2018.
