Kingston Close, Liverpool, Merseyside, L12

Tucked away on Kingston Close in one of Liverpool's most popular suburbs, this semi-detached home makes clever use of every inch of its space.

A porch keeps the weather and clutter at the door, then opens into a bright lounge where windows to the front and side let in plenty of light and a spiral staircase adds real character. At the back, the well-proportioned kitchen has a door out to the garden. Upstairs, a generous front bedroom with fitted storage is joined by a rear room that works equally well as a guest room, nursery or home office, along with a full bathroom.


Outside, the private garden and off-street parking are real advantages, and hard to find at this size in this part of Liverpool. The location adds to the appeal. West Derby Village, with its historic centre, independent shops, cafés and pubs, is close by. Just beyond it, Croxteth Hall and Country Park offers over 500 acres of woodland, ponds and walled gardens, plus a miniature railway, a working farm and a free 5km parkrun at 9am every Saturday. Buses along Honeys Green Lane and East Prescot Road head into the city centre, Alder Hey Children's Hospital is close, and the M62 is within easy reach. The area is also known for its schools.

It will suit first-time buyers wanting a manageable home with a garden, couples and young families looking for a good school catchment, and downsizers who want less upkeep without giving up outdoor space.

Homes in West Derby with parking, a garden and this much charm rarely stay available for long. Photos can't show how light the lounge feels, how the spiral staircase shapes the room, or how quickly the park and village are within reach, so book a viewing to see it for yourself.
