About
Welcome to this exceptional five-bedroom Victorian semi-detached family home, set within one of Widnes’ most sought-after locations.
Occupying a generous plot with extensive gardens, this unique period property perfectly blends character, charm and modern living.
The home offers substantial and versatile living accommodation, ideal for families, entertaining and multigenerational living.
A wealth of original features creates a timeless feel, including high ceilings, large windows, chandeliers and beautiful fire surrounds.
The upper floors provide breathtaking views, while the second floor offers excellent potential for a self-contained suite or income-generating space.
The property comprises a vestibule entrance leading into a wide and inviting hallway, a stunning bay-fronted lounge with log burner flowing through to a spacious dining room ideal for entertaining.
To the rear, a handcrafted boot room provides access to the side patio and deck, leading into a bespoke kitchen with morning area at the heart of the home.
A practical utility room with downstairs WC completes this space, along with a large conservatory with French doors overlooking the garden.
The first floor features a split-level landing leading to three well-proportioned bedrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom with dual windows and a period fire surround.
The second is a further double bedroom, while the third offers a unique space with a paddle staircase leading to a mezzanine hideaway. A modern family bathroom completes the level.
The second floor provides two additional double bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and exposed character features, a kitchenette on the landing, and a shower room with WC.
One bedroom is currently utilised as a lounge, benefitting from outstanding views through an arched window.
Externally, the property truly excels, with extensive gardens to the side and rear featuring decked entertaining areas, mature fruit trees, water feature and a high degree of privacy.
The south facing side garden boasts a steel-framed heated swimming pool set within the decked area, creating a standout space for relaxation and entertaining.
A detached summer house offers flexible use as a home office, gym or studio.
The property also benefits from roof-mounted solar panels, improving energy efficiency, and ample off-road parking to both the front and rear via secure gated access.
Ideally located close to well-regarded schools, local amenities, Hough Green train station (within a short 5–10 minute walk, offering direct links to Liverpool, Manchester and Warrington), and a nearby park, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period home offering space, flexibility and lifestyle appeal.
