Vast Victorian villa with sweeping views of Liverpool up for sale

A historic house offering panoramic views of Liverpool from the Wirral via floor to ceiling windows and a gorgeous meandering garden has gone on the market for less than £1m.

The six-bed, four-bath period property on South Hill Grove in Oxton has retained many historic features, notably the ornate coving throughout the home.

The tiered garden has been carefully manicured, creating an elegant outdoor space that would look more at home in a country manor.

The curved patio can be used to sunbathe, dine or relax with your favourite book. Its stone stairs lead down to the grass via a peppering of mature shrubbery with ornamental water features.

Inside, the current owners have also carried out extensive works to bring the place into the 21st century. This includes moving the kitchen to the rear of the house to create a vast, open plan area to cook, eat and relax.

The area makes the most of the floor to ceiling windows, with natural light pouring in and offering stunning views as you prepare food using top of the range integrated appliances and a range cooker set into the hearth.

The hand-crafted shaker-style units are fitting in the period home, with a statement blue island providing contrast to the light grey cupboards.

The dark, brooding slate blue is a theme throughout the home and also features on the lounge chimney breast, in the utility room and in the sitting room.

Upstairs, there are three large bedrooms to the rear of the property which also have panoramic views of the garden. Two of these are en-suite, with a further bedroom, playroom and office served by a family bathroom with walk-in shower.

If buyers are in need of additional space, the front of the house could be converted into an annexe with a bedrooms, toilet and storage. It's accessible via the upper landing, with a secondary staircase also leading all the way down to the basement.

The property is on sale for offers in excess of £900,000 and is being marketed by Karl Tatler Estate Agents.

This is a rare opportunity to own a house on South Hill Grove. The last time a six-bed detached dwelling changed hands on the road was in 2016 for £680,000.
