Through the keyhole of 'deceptively spacious' period home with surprisingly modern twist

A property has come on the market in Merseyside that’s surprisingly modern for a period house.

The three bedroom semi-detached house, on Westcliffe Road, Southport, is thought to date back to around 1900.

However its current owners have completely renovated the property to ‘high standards’.

On the market with Ewemove, the home is listed for £650,000 and is just a short walk from Birkdale train station.

It’s also within walking distance of Lord Street, King’s Gardens and Princes Park.

For those who like to enjoy their spare time at the seaside, Southport Pier is just moments from the central Lord Street.

The property also benefits from being just half a mile away from Birkdale Village and it’s choice of independent shops, bars and restaurants.

Images on Rightmove show that every room in the ‘deceptively spacious’ house has been recently decorated and renovated for modern living needs.

Even outside, the house is entered through an electric gate for those who prefer privacy.

The home has had a newly installed driveway and is finished with a mix of render, brick wall and fence panels complimented by a series of feature lights at the front and back.

Steps lead up to the front door while a staircase to the left leads to the basement- where there is further potential for development.

In keeping with period properties, the home has large living spaces and high ceilings with ornate ceiling roses and open fires.

Two of the three double bedrooms have from Juliet balconies overlooking the rear garden, while the primary bedroom has a large en-suite bath and shower room with Jack and Jill sinks.

Another bedroom or office space could be added as the loft is empty.

The back garden has two sunny patio areas leading off the main living room and conservatory.

These patio areas, that are perfect for al fresco dining or entertaining, overlook onto a garden with mature trees and border plants.

Similar to the front, the garden is decorated with brick wall surround and feature lights.

The Ewemove listing reads: “Situated in one of Southport's most desirable locations, Westcliffe Road, this period and high quality specification property caters exceptionally for today's modern living needs.

“Nestled on a generous sized plot behind a brick wall surrounded with private gates, this home is deceptively spacious whilst offering the new owners ample opportunity to further extend without compromising the existing footprint.

“This property has already benefited from a programme of renovation works by the current owners to a high standard.”
