Grade II listed seaside villa with 'stunning' balcony views for sale

A seaside villa boasting views of New Brighton promenade and Liverpool Bay is now for sale.

The Grade II listed home, in Wallasey, dates back to the 1800s and features many Victorian characteristics including cast iron fireplaces, high ceilings with decorative coving and hardwood floors. Called Stamford Mews, the house benefits from four bedrooms and a reverse living layout, so that the reception rooms and kitchen make the most of the seaside views on the upper floor.

Stamford Mews is nestled in the middle of Wellington Road which is a conservation area. That means the home is in good company and is surrounded by other architectural and historic properties.
