Property description
This is a truly wonderful opportunity to purchase a detached period residence situated within the heart of the Allerton and Caldertones District dating back to 1650.The external elevations are finished in stone with a smooth white render covering and decorative carved stone work to both window and door casings beneath a Westmorland slated roof. The Forty Pits, as referred to in the Doomsday Book, offers seclusion amidst this popular affluent district of South Liverpool providing an enviable and enjoyable lifestyle for any prospective purchaser. The gardens surrounding the property are substantial with the rear garden offering beautiful areas of lawn in addition to a tennis court and lake with surrounding walkway. These expansive grounds have also previously held pre-planning approval for two additional detached dwellings. The spacious front garden offers a number of established trees and shrubs in addition to three access points, one being from a lych gate on the Allerton Road entrance. This lych gate was originally constructed from the oak beams of the original property and provides a charming and delightful entrance to one of Liverpool's most talked about and beautiful residences. Internally, the property offers comfortable and delightful accommodation laid out over three floors. Most of the interior has been refurbished in recent years to an immaculate and high standard including bespoke internal joinery and a stylish and modern solid wood Miele kitchen. The stunning grand entrance hall has a carved return staircase leading to a full galleried landing. Both the accommodation to the ground and first floor runs off the reception hallway and landing making this a comfortable and well planned residence. The majority of the living and sleeping quarters face onto the established and beautiful rear gardens. This is a wonderful and rare opportunity to be offered for sale via the South Liverpool market place and we would strongly advise an inspection in order to appreciate this charming detached residence.
