Quirky 'one of a kind' house on Liverpool's 'Remainer Street'

The ECHO has taken a look inside a unique Georgian home for sale, which is located on the street made famous by its act of defiance as Britain exited the European Union.

Hope Place, off Hope Street in the centre of Liverpool, is renowned for its stunning Georgian townhouses. A couple of years ago, the quaint stretch of road also gained notoriety for its pro-European Union bunting and banners.

The Rightmove listing hails the Grade II-listed home as "charming and truly one-of-a-kind"; as well as an abundance of period features, it includes quirky art work, a sunken bath and a jaw dropping glass canopy in garden.

The property boasts four bedrooms and two bathrooms, with accommodation spread over four storeys.

On the ground floor, stone steps lead to a pillar box red front door, which opens into a bright and airy hallways with ornate coving and archways. The owner has put their own stamp on the place with contemporary design choices throughout, including a see through partition wall in the hallway.

The kitchen/diner is to the rear of the ground floor, with a huge piece of artwork creating a unique feature wall.

This room provides access to a real standout point of the property; a double-aspect glass canopy 'garden' with a small mezzanine and spiral staircase leading to the basement.

In 2020, the ECHO spoke to residents of the immaculate street about their pro-EU decorations.

The movement was led by resident and former teacher Janet Kent, who in the summer of 2019 decided to cover her home in European Union flags to show the world exactly what she thinks of Brexit.

Although concerned she might have been viewed as a "mad old lady", Janet's act of defiance was backed by her neighbours, including Han Duijvendak, who moved to the UK from Holland in 1980.
