Set in the heart of Crosby, the house is described as "elegant and spacious", dating back to 1903 with period fixtures and fittings to match.

The house is described by estate agents Purple Bricks as an 'Arts and Crafts' property with striking symmetry, quality fittings and "tasteful decor" throughout.

The five bedroom family home on St Anthony's Road is on the market for £799,950.

As soon as you enter the property you're greeted by a grand entrance hall with parquet flooring, which runs throughout the ground floor.

An impressive staircase leads up to first floor with its five bedrooms, including a main bedroom with en-suite shower room and under floor heating.

Photos of the house posted on the Purple Bricks website show each colour coordinated room decorated in the Edwardian style with dark wooden furniture, plush curtains, chandeliers and boldly patterned wallpaper and carpets.

One of the most striking rooms in the property is the family bathroom, which has dazzling black and white chequerboard tiling.

Despite the styling being of it's time, the house also comes with modern luxuries such as the underfloor heating in the bathroom.

There is also a large conservatory with stained glass windows in the geometric style of Piet Mondrian's abstract expressionist paintings, which feels completely in fitting with property.

It's these nods to late 19th and early 20th century Art and Crafts that give the home its unique period flair.

The property sits on a large plot and to the front there is enough parking space for several cars.

If the home itself wasn't incentive enough, there are also a number of "good performing primary schools" within in walking distance, and being so close to Crosby beach is ideal for family days out.

Andrew McEvoy, Purplebricks spokesperson for Liverpool said: “There is always a desire for families to buy a house in an area close to a good primary school as many would love to be able to walk their children to school.

"Demand is especially high, with some homes commanding up to 20k more than similar areas, due to the abundance of good schools close by."
