Back to the house, you'll access the home off the generous driveway and front garden into the porch then into the hallway. There is a storage cupboard under the stairs that some people have converted to a WC in other homes.

The living room runs the length of the home spanning nearly 30ft! This is where the versatility starts showing and you could look at splitting this room into two and having two larger than average reception rooms or knocking through into the kitchen and creating a huge living kitchen with a smaller snug at the front. Of course the option is to leave as it because you've got space for multiple sofas alongside dining table and leaving space for a playing for the kids.

The kitchen has also been extended previously but has the option of further extension or remodelling as mentioned.

The garage finishes off the ground floor and also doubles as the utility room, Ripe for conversion you could go for the American approach and but a ping pong table in there or you could do a full conversion adding to the kitchen or creating an reception room, you could even go bedroom with en-suite it's that large.

Upstairs has been switched from a traditional three bedroom layout into two bedrooms however for the low cost of a new stud wall you could easily convert back into three bedrooms. Given it'll be you installing the stud wall you can decide how big to make the third bedroom. A modern bathroom suite finishes off the top floor. The main question here though is whether you use the larger front room as the master you the smaller second bedroom but get those open views!

Now the magic continues outside because this plot is massive. With that southerly facing garden you are getting open views, huge plot and all the sunshine in the summer. Now with a garden this size you have a few options, the plot could take further extension work or you could rejig the established garden layout to make it less maintenance however given how beautiful it looks taking up gardening seems the best bet. You do have the potential to look at adding an office pod or home gym but just imagine getting a hidden hot tub with views over the River Mersey. Whatever you do with the garden do expect to be the host at all the summer BBQs.

So if this ticks the boxes of location, size and garden make sure you pick up the phone asap and quote GY0737 because properties like this don't hang around!
