Property description
Occupying a commanding plot, this rather handsome double-fronted period detached residence oozes sophistication and grandeur on an impressive scale. With an abundance of period features, the property offers in excess of 3,300 square feet of accommodation arranged over four floors, enjoying a substantial and expansive floor plan which offers an abundance of well-proportioned living spaces, which is just perfect for the needs of the growing family. This traditional home rests in the sought-after locality of Ainsdale, a sought-after village with a thriving community of over 100 established businesses, including a pleasing blend of high street stores and boutique shops, trendy wine bars and first class restaurants. The area is well served by the rail network, with Ainsdale railway station being situated on the Northern Line of the Merseyrail Network, ensuring one can enjoy the vibrant city of Liverpool in minutes or, similarly, the famous shopping on Southport’s Lord Street or perhaps its beautiful coastline.
On entering the property via the storm porch and into the welcoming reception hallway, one is immediately greeted by a sense of tradition and period elegance, a feeling which infuses throughout the entire accommodation and which is accentuated by the ornate coving and ceiling rose. One proceeds into the comfortable lounge, impressively proportioned at 18’ and flooded with natural light via the large sash windows, whilst the feature fireplace with its inset coal-effect living flame gas fire makes an attractive focal point. The formal dining room is similarly spacious at 15’ and is also located to the front of the property, creating a lovely space for entertaining during those formal dinner parties. whilst a third reception room adds further flexibility to the accommodation, suitable for a variety of uses – a further sitting room, a morning room, or perhaps a playroom for the children, with its location next to the kitchen ensuring mum can keep a watchful eye. A lovely conservatory lies off this room also, creating a bright space for contemplation or relaxation, whilst surveying the beautiful rear garden.
The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of modern Oak wall and base units with contrasting laminated work surfaces and equipped with a range of integrated appliances including high level double electric oven, gas hob with extractor canopy and fridge/freezer, whilst there is also a handy separate utility room in which to hide the washing when unexpected visitors drop by, and a rear porch providing access to the garden. A convenient shower room completes the ground floor accommodation, fitted with a modern suite in classic white, comprising of pedestal wash hand basin, WC, corner shower cubicle with overhead electric shower and a chrome-effect heated towel rail.
To the first floor, one can discover four of the five bright double bedrooms, including the spacious 18’ master bedroom, complete with fitted wardrobes, dressing table and vanity wash hand basin, and a delightful feature bay window to the front elevation. A useful study provides some space for those requiring some space to work from home, and the main family bathroom, which is of a particularly good-size, fully tiled and with inset spotlighting; fitted with a three piece suite, comprising of pedestal wash hand basin, WC and panelled bath with overhead shower. If one proceeds up to the second floor, a fifth bedroom can be found with built-in storage cupboards, whilst in the basement even more accommodation – four large cellar rooms, which offer huge potential.
Externally, the property occupies a substantial plot, with extensive gardens to the front and rear, mainly laid to lawn with established trees and plants to the borders, the rear affords sunny Southerly aspects and is exceedingly private, creating a wonderful feeling of seclusion. There are ample off-road parking facilities available on the driveway, and which gives access to the detached double garage.
