Property description
‘Penwortham House’ is a most handsome six bedroom detached residence, situated on Cambridge Road in Southport - one of the area’s most desirable addresses. This beautiful character home grabs your attention the moment you set eyes on its quite stunning exterior - with its imposing facade accented by beautiful stone detail. The property continues to impress throughout and offers extensive accommodation arranged over four inviting levels - truly reflecting the scale, proportion and tradition of the Victorian era and at the same time blending seamlessly stylish modern appointments with beautiful original features such as high ceilings, ornate stained glass, stunning fireplaces, original plaster mouldings and sweeping bay windows - viewers cannot fail to be impressed.
Living space covers in excess of 5050 square feet, and has been finished to exacting standards throughout. Accommodation briefly comprises entrance porch, hallway, lounge, dining room, family room, breakfast kitchen, and on the lower ground floor a home office, games room, a further family room, laundry room, wine cellar and a cloaks/wc. On the first floor, one can find three large bedrooms. The master bedroom is of special note – and boasts its own dressing room (with an stylish array of quality fitted bedroom furniture) and beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom (comprising of low level wc, free-standing bath, shower cubicle, and ‘his and hers’ vanity wash hand basin units). The two remaining bedrooms on this floor share a ‘Jack and Jill’ en-suite bathroom (with low level wc, pedestal wash hand basin and panelled bath with overhead shower). The second floor provides three further bedrooms and a quality family bathroom (which comprises low level wc, bath, wall-mounted wash hand basin and shower cubicle).
Special mention should be given to the richly appointed breakfast kitchen which affords a comprehensive range of wall and base units in Oak, with contrasting granite work surfaces, double bowl Belfast sink, large central island, Rangemaster oven, and a range of integrated appliances including microwave, fridge freezer, and dishwasher. Feature spot-lighting and tiled flooring complete the look.
Externally the property affords ample parking, on the gated forecourt with the driveway continuing to further gates and additional secure parking at the side elevation. The rear garden is vast and affords a huge lawned area bordered by mature trees, plants and shrubs. The garden is perfect for families with children - having a brick wall completely surrounding its borders. The garden is also private, not directly overlooked and benefits sunny Westerly aspects. Other benefits include gas central heating and double glazing.
The area in general is noted for its varying types and styles of prestige property and Southport is a vibrant town in which to live; here you will find mainline train services to the nearby cities of Manchester and Liverpool. Within the town centre itself are an abundance of high street stores, one-off boutiques, cafes, restaurants…and of course the Pleasureland resort and beach…all of which are located a pebbles throw from the picturesque shopping boulevard that is Lord Street. Southport is also a great catchment area for schools, at both primary and secondary level, and further education facilities can be found at the popular KGV sixth form college. Impressive well-established universities can also be found in the nearby cities of Manchester and Liverpool, or in the closely located town of Ormskirk.
