Welcome to Number 65 Knowsley Road.

Nestled just off the treelined Harpers Lane, this Victorian gem stands proudly between two other charming terraced homes.

As you step through the front door, you're greeted by an inviting hallway adorned with timeless white painted panelling, ‘Laura Ashley’ wallpaper and a stunning staircase that winds its way up through all three floors.

Meanwhile, the stained original timber floorboards underfoot complete the picture of a space that seamlessly blends classic and contemporary aesthetics.

Adjacent to this space, the dining room, is adorned in a palette of timeless grey and soothing teal hues, complementing the timber laminate flooring. A wood-burning stove takes centre stage, serving as an ideal focal point to anchor your dining table.

The dining space seamlessly transitions into the open-plan kitchen, featuring well-arranged ivory-coloured wall and base units that form an integrated breakfast bar. Enhancing the aesthetics, a contrasting Corian worktop adds a touch of sophistication, complemented by a striking pink glass splashback. The kitchen is equipped with modern conveniences, including a dishwasher, washing machine and ample space for a freestanding oven (currently housing a Stoves oven) and a freestanding fridge/freezer.

Completing the ensemble, a sink with drainer grooves is positioned beneath the worktop, offering a practical and stylish touch while allowing you to enjoy views of the patio garden.

As you make your way back to the entrance hall, ascend the white, spindled staircase to the first floor, where three bedrooms eagerly await your exploration.

To the front, you'll find the main bedroom, a haven of comfort featuring built-in wardrobes, shelves, a dressing table with a matching mirror, bedside drawers, and fitted headboards. The neutral décor is complemented by a cosy grey carpet, creating a space that's ready to welcome you home.

A textured band above the vanity wash basin and navy accents in the shower add a stylish touch.
