About
Set along an attractive, tree-lined no-through road in the highly sought-after suburb of Hoole, this exceptional three-storey Edwardian semi-detached residence offers an outstanding blend of timeless character and contemporary living.
Beautifully presented throughout, the home retains a wealth of original features while benefiting from tasteful modern enhancements, such as recently installed wood-effect double glazed windows that complement the property’s period charm.
The approach is immediately impressive, with a landscaped frontage and a generous block-paved driveway providing ample off-road parking.
Entry is via an inviting open porch leading into an internal vestibule and a welcoming hallway, where original oak doors set the tone for the accommodation beyond.
