College Road North, Blundellsands, L23

A full restoration of a Victorian dream. No corners cut, no detail missed.

On College Road North, you’re right where everyone wants to be - minutes from the beach, the station, and the cafés and boutiques of College Road and Crosby Village. The area’s best schools are all within easy reach, too.

This home has been rebuilt from the inside out, all done in 2025. Re-wired, re-plumbed, re-plastered, roof repaired - all with care and craft. The result is something rare: a period home that feels brand new, yet still hums with character.

Step through the newly configured porch and you’re greeted with the beautiful leaded light door and surround - brought back to life by a stained-glass specialist. Yes, this is exactly how meticulous this renovation has been! This really was no ‘quick flip’.

The hallway is a showpiece in itself. The original parquet floor has been painstakingly polished, every block sanded, and restored back to perfection. The panelling and picture rails have been retained and replaced where needed, keeping the home’s soul intact.

The formal lounge at the front is calm and elegant, with a bay window, log burner and mantlepiece, and further restored parquet framing the carpet - that beautiful blend of tradition and comfort that defines this house.

Then we have the real jewel in the crown - the rear! Three original rooms have been opened up into one incredible family space. The Wren kitchen is solid wood with specially sourced quartz worktops, and fitted with everything you’d expect from a home finished to this standard: Quooker instant boiling tap, wine fridge, full-length fridge and freezer, induction hob, double ovens (one with microwave function), plate warmer, integrated bin and dishwasher. The breakfast bar makes an ideal coffee perch, and the space flows seamlessly into the dining and living area, where bifold doors open onto the porcelain-tiled patio and vast south-westerly garden.

What was once an outside WC and coal store has been cleverly converted into a utility room, again with quartz worktops and storage, housing a brand new boiler. There’s also a stylish ground-floor shower room - perfect for washing off the beach.

Upstairs, four generous double bedrooms include a beautiful en suite in the largest. The family bathroom has been completely refitted and opened up to allow a space that wouldn’t look amiss in a boutique hotel!

Off the huge landing, a pull-down ladder leads to a fully boarded loft with plans already drawn for a fifth bedroom and en suite, should you wish to take the home even further.

Outside, the renovation is also striking, with a new tarmac drive and new lawn area to the front. Through the side gates is further parking plus an EV charge point. The detached garage has been upgraded with power, lighting and double doors to the rear, making it ideal for conversion to a gym, bar, work studio or teenage hangout.

To the rear we are blessed with a South Westerly facing garden, newly laid turf and porcelain tiles.

This isn’t a renovation; it’s a rebuild.

The attention to detail, the quality of the materials, the craftsmanship, it must be seen to be believed! Get in touch to see for yourself.

A note from the seller: “We knew the importance in getting it right with bringing this character property back to life, that’s why we went to such extremes with the refurb. We even got a specialist from Birmingham to repair and restore the leaded light internal porch. We spoke to several flooring specialists before finding the right team to restore the parquet - and it was worth every penny. They’ve done an incredible job, with over £7,000 invested in bringing this beautiful wood back to life. It’s safe to say that blood sweat and tears have gone into this renovation, but we are so thrilled with the result and can’t wait for it to be a beautiful family home once again.”
