Gertrude Street, St. Helens, Merseyside, WA9

A renovation project packed with potential, this two-bedroom end-terrace offers the opportunity to completely transform and modernise a well-proportioned home in a convenient residential location in Nutgrove

-[ABOUT YOUR NEW HOME]-

Starting outside, your new property on Gertrude Street immediately shows itself as a home with plenty of potential. Set at the end of a traditional terrace, it has a small walled frontage and a characterful period-style façade that provides a strong starting point.

The front yard space itself is bursting with opportunity. Inside, this is very much a renovation project, but that is exactly where the opportunity lies. You are not paying for someone else’s taste or half-finished updates. Instead, you have the chance to strip the property back, rethink each room, and create a home that feels completely your own.

You enter into the front living room, a space that currently needs full refurbishment but offers a good, usable footprint. The front-facing window brings in natural light, while the room itself has the sizing you would expect from a traditional terrace, making it suitable for a cosy lounge once updated. From here, the layout opens into the dining room, giving you a second reception space rather than one single downstairs room. This is a useful advantage, especially if you want a separate dining area, home working spot, play space, or more relaxed everyday sitting room. At present, the room shows clear signs of needing renovation, but the space gives you options.

Moving towards the rear, the kitchen is compact and in need of complete modernisation. The existing units, finishes and flooring are dated, but the room has the bones to become a far more practical space. A new kitchen here could transform how the whole ground floor feels, particularly if designed with clever storage, clean worktops and brighter finishes.

The ground-floor bathroom also requires full improvement, but its position at the rear keeping the two bedrooms upstairs more generously proportioned. It currently includes a shower enclosure, W/C and wash basin, ready and waiting for your stylistic touch. Stepping outside, the rear garden continues the theme of potential and possibility that runs throughout the property.

The garden has plenty of mature greenery and planting. Once cleared back, there is more room here than first meets the eye. The layout offers scope for a low-maintenance courtyard-style garden, a lawned area, or even a more modern landscaped finish with decking and seating zones. There is also a useful covered rear section immediately outside the property, creating sheltered storage space and giving practical access through the side gate. If you’re thinking long term, this area could be reimagined into a much tidier utility-style space for bins, bikes, tools or general storage.

Upstairs, the property continues to offer a blank canvas for renovation, with two bedrooms that provide the foundations for comfortable accommodation once modernised. The main bedroom sits to the front of the property and is noticeably more generous in size, comfortably accommodating a double bed alongside additional furniture. Natural light pours through the large front-facing window, helping to brighten the room and highlight the potential within the space.

The second bedroom, positioned to the rear, is smaller in scale but still offers flexibility depending on the needs of the next owner. It could work well as a nursery, child’s bedroom, home office or dressing room, or a traditional second bedroom - the choice is yours!

-[LIVING ON GERTRUDE STREET]-

Gertrude Street is a popular location in Nutgrove situated close to Thatto Heath. There is so much on offer right on the doorstep, making it a perfect location in so many ways.

Within a stone’s throw walking distance are a handful of takeaways, a well-connected train station, and the pleasant Thatto Heath Park to enjoy. Slightly further beyond these, Sherdley Park, Ravenhead Retail Park and St Helens town centre can be found, providing you with a wealth of shopping opportunities and placing you in the catchment area for all the local schools.

The A58 to the North makes road access into St Helens to the North East, and Prescot town centre to the South West convenient, with the St Helens Linkway almost the same distance in the opposite direction, connecting down to the M62 in the South for further connections to Liverpool, Manchester and the M6 motorway.
