Property description
A rare opportunity has arisen to purchase a truly unique two bedroom lodge house with a wealth of history and character on Allerton Road, L18.

From the inner hall, stairs to the first floor lead to a master bedroom, a generous family bathroom suite and a further double bedroom. Throughout the property, many character details are displayed, including feature fireplaces and original doors. The property is set upon a substantial plot, enjoying a ¼ acre in its entirety; which includes off road parking, extensive gardens to the front, side and rear, patio space and out buildings.
