Description

This exceptional five-bedroom 1970s house sits just a two-minute walk from the River Mersey promenade in Liverpool. Thoughtfully extended and updated for modern living by its current owners, its fluid, open-plan living spaces of 2,054 sq ft are bathed in natural light from full-height windows, and the house provides a tranquil space within easy reach of the delights of Liverpool. Cressington rail station is a six-minute walk from the house, with services to Liverpool Central in 12 minutes.

The Tour

Nestled among rows of Victorian houses within the private estate of Cressington Park lies this striking mid-century modernist house. The approach is via a generous driveway set back from the road, with ample off-road parking for six cars. The house has an impressive architectural profile, with sharp geometric outlines and a combination of red brick and wood-panelled exteriors. Internally, an inviting porch leads to an expansive open-plan space encompassing living and dining areas and a kitchen, with floor-to-ceilingaluminium-framed glazing, including sliding doors that that open out onto a carefully maintained garden.

The bespoke oak kitchen has built-in cupboards, integrated Smeg appliances and a coffee maker. A seamless, poured terrazzo floor with underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor. Handmade lighting illuminates the kitchen and dining area, and there is an oak kitchen island for bar-style dining, plus room for a large dining table. A generous hallway, which can be used as a library, leads to two well-proportioned bedrooms on the ground floor, plus a bathroom. There is an large additional room downstairs, which is currently used as a home gym.

A set of stairs rises to the first floor, where there are two more spacious bedrooms and a bathroom. Both bedrooms have built-in oak wardrobes, and in each bathroom there is a bath with a shower, and handmade Italian tiles underfoot.

The house has been thoughtfully renovated to suit modern living, and there are ceiling-mounted Bluetooth speakers throughout. All rooms have internet, TV and USB and USB-C ports, and there are planning permissions for a further upstairs bedroom or extension.

Outdoor Space

There is a bright, well-maintained garden at the rear of the house with plenty of space for outdoor entertaining. A gravelled area is embraced by a neat lawn, with an assortment of trees and bushes around the garden’s borders. The front of the house has a horseshoe driveway, with parking space for six cars. Solar-powered lighting is fitted in the back garden and at the front of the house.
