Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a magnificent four bedroom Edwardian family home on the sought after De Villiers Avenue, right in the heart of Crosby.
This property was cherished by the Gilbertson family, who were the original builders of the property over 100 years ago. Lived in by them for 60 plus of those years, flawlessly preserving its breathtaking original period features, blending timeless character with comfortable modern family living. Passing through the threshold reveals a wealth of historic detail, from the grand original staircase and flawless floorboards to the intricate ceiling coving, original interior doors, and stunning stained glass windows.
The ground floor offers two beautiful reception rooms, including a front lounge anchored by a grand, original marble fireplace, and a light-filled rear lounge featuring a cozy log burner. At the heart of the home is an expansive open-plan kitchen and diner. This family hub showcases the property's crowning jewel: the original feature oven, which the current owners have cleverly adapted to include an integrated log-burning stove. A convenient downstairs toilet serves the ground floor, while upstairs boasts a modern four-piece family bathroom complete with underfloor heating. The first-floor accommodation splits into three exceptionally generous double bedrooms, each retaining its own individual period fireplace, alongside a versatile fourth single bedroom currently utilized as a quiet home office. The loft has been full boarded out and has a robust pull down ladder for easy access.
To the rear lies a hidden gem of a South-West facing garden. This tranquil, private oasis is filled with mature trees and pretty flowers, and retains its original brick outbuildings which are perfect for storage or future conversion. The frontage is completed by a clean driveway with off-street parking for two vehicles. Situated just a short stroll from Crosby Village’s boutiques, cafes, and top-tier schools, this Edwardian treasure offers an unparalleled local lifestyle.
A note from the seller: “I have loved living in this house for the past 15 years – loved its history and original features, all lovingly retained by myself and past owners; loved its location – so near to Crosby Village; loved my neighbours and the friendliness of everyone on De Villiers Avenue, supporting and looking out for each other via our WhatsApp group; loved my quiet, sunny garden. I will be very sorry to leave due to health issues.”
