An ‘impressive’ and ‘unique’ home went up for sale in Liverpool last week that is unlike anything else listed in the area.
The period property, on Acrefield Road, is currently under offer having been snapped up after less than a week on the market.
Hidden on a gated plot, in Woolton, the house may have a medieval look from the outside but on the inside it’s surprisingly futuristic.
Outside the three bedroom house boasts striking turret style roofing and ornate brickwork.
While inside, the home is described as ‘stylish’ thanks to its sleek redesign that makes the most of the space inside.
Its speedy sale comes as no surprise, as homes across Merseyside are reportedly being sold in 24 hours or less.
Some estate agents have noticed such an increase that one even said there are '10 buyers fighting' for a chance to buy one home.
Rightmove backed this up with their recent data that proved now is the fastest-selling market that Rightmove has measured since its records began.
Tim Bannister, Rightmove’s director of property data said that almost one in four properties that had a sale agreed in March 2021 had been on the market for less than a week, which is also the highest rate that they've ever recorded.
Tim said: "The stars have aligned for this spring price surge, with buyers’ new space requirements being part of the constellation alongside cheap mortgages, stamp duty holiday extensions in England and Wales, government support for 95% mortgages and a shortage of suitable property to buy."
Images of the Woolton property on Rightmove show a ‘carefully designed’ home that is set over two floors.
The bright entrance hall leads into the main living area of an open plan kitchen and diner, followed by a lounge that overlooks the garden and has access via sliding doors.
From the outside visitors get an idea for the seamless-living style of the house, with a railing in the hall providing views into the kitchen.
The kitchen benefits from built in appliances and storage and has enough space for a family-sized dining table.
Also on the ground floor are two double bedrooms, one of which has a mezzanine level and a large shower room.
The second floor is made up primarily of an ‘exceptional’ master suite with en-suite facilities, enjoying views across South Liverpool and beyond.
Outside the property has a wrap-around garden, with a covered decking area, a grass lawn and enough space for a hot tub or children’s play area if you prefer.
To the back of the garden there is also an outdoor office which could be renovated into a playroom, gym or summer room.
Describing the property the Whitegates listing reads: “ The property oozes a contemporary and stylish finish that we anticipate will draw in a wide variety of buyers.
“This superb property has undergone an extensive scale of refurbishment transforming the property into a modern and functional space, with many quirks and features that will be sure to surprise any client.”
