Ince Road, Liverpool, L23

Ince Road - where countryside views meet refined family living. Set behind a handsome double-fronted façade, this five-bedroom detached home has been beautifully upgraded and functionally enhanced with a number of key structural improvements including a brand new roof with insulation and double glazing throughout. The home sits on an impressive 0.44-acre plot (approx) and enjoys a rare semi-rural outlook, with open views across the Livery and horses grazing beyond the garden boundary. It’s the kind of setting that feels wonderfully tucked away, yet remains within easy reach of Little Crosby, Formby, M57 and M58, and beyond.

Inside, the ground floor is perfectly arranged for family life and entertaining alike, with five versatile reception rooms offering flexibility as needs change. The rear living room is generous and light-filled, with rich parquet flooring and double patio doors opening straight onto the rear terrace, seamlessly connecting indoors and out. A second, cosier sitting room provides a more intimate retreat, centred around an exposed brick fireplace and again opening to the garden through French doors. A third reception room again with parquet and a fireplace, works equally well as a formal dining room or sitting room, while the fourth room facing the front garden could optimally be utilised as a home office or playroom. Finally, a large fifth reception room with parquet flooring featuring the original leadlight bay windows serves as a formal sitting room or library. The current layout present enormous opportunity to combine living spaces.

At the heart of the house is a thoughtfully upgraded kitchen, finished with bespoke Shaker-style cabinetry in soft neutral tones, slate worktops and a central island. Integrated appliances include Miele double ovens, a Neff hob and microwave, alongside a large country-style Belfast sink. A separate utility room adds everyday practicality, while a stylish ground floor WC completes the layout. Original Victorian parquet flooring runs through parts of the ground floor, currently partially carpeted, but offering excellent scope for restoration to create a beautiful, characterful finish throughout.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts four generous double bedrooms and three bathrooms. The principal bedroom is a calm, spacious sanctuary with its own well-appointed ensuite, while a second double bedroom also benefits from ensuite facilities. The huge extended rear bedroom is over 24ft! A smart family bathroom with free standing bath, walk in shower, double sinks and sky lights is a true haven. With all rooms finished in neutral tones and plush carpets, you really can just move straight in!

Rising to the second floor, the attic conversion is a real standout - a vast, light-filled fifth bedroom with vaulted ceilings, multiple skylights, fitted wardrobes and a dedicated desk area. Whether used as a main suite, teenage retreat or guest room, it’s an exceptionally flexible space.

Outside is where this home truly shines. The south-facing rear garden is both expansive and beautifully curated, designed to make the most of long, sun-soaked days. A large reclaimed Yorkshire stone patio provides an elegant entertaining space, leading onto a sweeping lawn bordered by mature trees, hedging and established planting for privacy and year-round interest. There’s a gazebo and BBQ area for gatherings, a west-facing firepit spot for evenings as the sun sets, and mature apple, pear and nectarine trees offering seasonal produce.

Families will love the thoughtful touches throughout the garden, from space for swings and a summer playhouse to a forest-themed play area with stepping stones and mud kitchen. Electricity is already connected to the far end of the garden, opening up easy potential for a future summer house, studio or workshop.

To the front, a granite cobble sett driveway provides parking for 3–4 cars, framed by fencing and gated side access.

Crucially, this is a home where all the big jobs have already been done. Recent improvements include a brand-new roof with insulation, new double-glazed windows to the upper floors, updated wiring, new water tank, smart heating controls, upgraded lighting throughout, security lighting and an ADT armed-response alarm system. Significant professional tree work and reinforced boundary fencing have further enhanced both light and privacy.

The result is a house that offers total peace of mind, immediate comfort, and still leaves room for new owners to add their own stamp over time.

A rare opportunity to secure a substantial family home with space, setting and soul - semi-rural living at its very best.
