Trinity Road, CH47 2BY

This beautiful three-storey Victorian property in the heart of Hoylake sits on the ever-popular Trinity Road, leading down to the beach.

The house dates back to 1896 and retains many of its original Arts and Crafts features, including stunning plasterwork, tiled fireplaces beautiful wooden floors and bannisters, a Minton-tiled entrance and the original quarry tile kitchen floor.

It has been sympathetically decorated with William Morris prints and heritage colours.

A substantial family home at almost 1600sq st, it has cosy working fireplaces and gas central heating, combining the best of old and new.

At the front of the house there is a large private garden with well-stocked raised beds, a dropped kerb and ample off-road parking.

Walking in, there is a grand entrance hall with original doors and a spectacular Arts and Crafts arch - perfect as a reading nook, and a wonderful focal point for a twinkling Christmas tree.

There are two good-sized reception rooms, both with built-in bookshelves and original working Welsh slate fireplaces, complete with original tiles.

The rear reception room, currently used as a home office and playroom, has a French door out into the rear courtyard garden.

The centrepiece of the spacious country-style kitchen diner is a cream two-oven Aga range cooker, and while there is currently a free-standing kitchen there is ample space for a fitted kitchen to be installed.

There is also the original pantry, providing useful storage.

Outside, through the stable door, there is a sunny south-facing low-maintenance courtyard garden, with a plumbed-in external utility room and garden WC, a sunny south-facing rear yard and side return.

Upstairs, the property has five good-sized sunny bedrooms, including four doubles, a single and two newly refitted bathrooms, arranged over two floors.

On the first floor, the master bedroom has useful bespoke wardrobes, cast-iron fireplace and sunny bay window, while the second bedroom has a stunning Victorian fireplace and views over Hoylake to West Kirby and Wales beyond.

There is also a single bedroom with views over the front garden and a newly refitted white bathroom with rainfall shower, plus airing cupboard and gas combi-boiler.

On the second floor there is a large skylight which floods the house with sunshine and two further double bedrooms, with views of the beach from the front and the Welsh hills from the rear.

There is also a further newly refitted bathroom, with a freestanding slipper bath.

This much-loved family home is on one of Hoylake's friendliest roads, close to outstanding schools and grammar schools and within short walking distance of Hoylake village, with its wealth of independent shops and restaurants, and a stone's throw from the park and beach, all part of the village's welcoming and vibrant community.
