We wanted a detached house that we could make into a home. This house was in need of modernisation but we could see the potential.”  Tell us a little about the home’s history. Have you made any changes or additions that you feel have enhanced its character or functionality?  “We set about a complete renovation but tried to be sympathetic to the age of the house and to retain original features. It feels very warm and welcoming when returning home. Although it’s large, it still feels homely. It is a victorian villa which has had many incarnations over the years but we wanted to return it to a family home adapted for modern living whilst retaining the period aesthetic and character.”  Which spaces do you find yourself gravitating to most, and why?  “We spend most of our time in the kitchen/living area which is light and airy due to the orangery but with a cosy snug. We like to sit here and watch the birds in the garden. We have the sun on the back of the house all afternoon and in the summer we open the french doors to enjoy the garden. The property feels most magical at Christmas. Spacious rooms and high ceilings mean we can have a large tree and Christmas dinner in the formal dining room feels special.”  For families, what do you feel makes this such a wonderful place to raise children?  “This is a great place to raise children because of the close proximity of local amenities including Victoria Park and Southport Beach. There is also a selection of schools around the Southport area. The grounds of the property are completely enclosed so very safe for young children.”  How would you describe the local community and the lifestyle on offer?  “We are only a 10-15 minute walk into Southport which has a number of shops, supermarkets and some good restaurants. Birkdale village is a similar distance and offers a choice of bars, restaurants and coffee shops.”  What kinds of memories have been created here? Celebrations, milestones, or quiet moments that you’ll always cherish?  “We have created lots of happy memories here but have particularly enjoyed watching our grandson enjoy the space and the swimming pool.”  What do you think the next owners will fall in love with most?  “I think the next owners will enjoy the location of the property. The walled garden and set back from the road position makes it feel very private but it is only minutes from all amenities. I think a family with children would feel most at home here and there is enough room for everyone to have their own space as they get older.”  Additional Information    Services: Mains electricity, gas, drainage and water.  Council Tax: Band H.  Local Authority: Sefton.  Tenure: Leasehold.   Rent: £15.  Broadband: (Information taken from checker.ofcom.org.uk)    Standard – 16 Mpbs (highest available download speed) – 1 Mpbs (highest available upload speed)    Superfast – 65 Mpbs (highest available download speed) –13 Mpbs (highest available upload speed)    Mobile coverage: Good Outdoor, Variable In-home (Information taken from checker.ofcom.org.uk)    We always recommend you contact your supplier to discuss the availability of broadband and mobile coverage at this property.     Directions: Using the app what3words type in: rests.bring.ship   Referral Fees: Fine & Country sometimes refers vendors and purchasers to providers of conveyancing, financial services, survey & valuations services, currency exchange and staging & styling.
