One of a kind former vicarage on the market

A sprawling former vicarage located a stone's throw of the beach has gone on the market.

Known as Grovelands, the huge home on Grovelands Road in Wallasey boasts a whopping eight bedrooms, four reception rooms and two bathrooms.

Grovelands is also on the doorstep of North Wirral Coastal Park, a sprawling 200-acre site that includes grassy areas and sand dunes and overlooks the Irish Sea.

The striking house has a mock Tudor frontage and pitched roofs, adding to its period charm.

Living space is arranged over three floors and has a long list of original features such as elegant fireplaces, decorative coving, solid wood doors and high ceilings.

The ground floor is arranged around a light, airy entrance hall which boasts ornate woodwork. The current owners have been playful with colour, brightening the space further with a splash of yellow paint on the walls.

There are two living rooms, one of which boasts a bay window and log burner, as well as a separate dining room and a laundry room.

The kitchen is a real throwback and while it's in need of some modernisation it still oozes charm. One standout feature is the vintage stove in the tiled recess of a bare brick feature wall.

There are four bedrooms on the first floor, along with two family bathrooms. The second floor has a further three bedrooms and even its own living room.

Aside from the ample living space, Grovelands has sweeping grounds made up of lawns, shrubs and mature trees.

The property is on the market with Strike for offers over £600,000. In its Zoopla listing, the estate agent said the house is "a true masterpiece, featuring a harmonious blend of traditional design elements and classic character".

According to Rightmove, the last time Grovelands changed hands was in April 2021 for £500,000.

The average sold price in Wallasey in the past year was £183,789, 6% higher than the previous 12 months and 20% up on the 2020 peak of £153,211.
