Property description
'Anesis' is a beautiful example of a Victorian detached residence surrounded by established and mature gardens in the heart of this picturesque and leafy South Liverpool suburb. Arguably one of Liverpool's most impressive property's, 'Anesis' offers a combination of period accommodation combined with an intelligent and bespoke extension to the rear elevation. Throughout the property it is apparent that attention to detail was applied under construction during the wonderful Victorian period and the current owners have dovetailed a bespoke extension creating bright living space in the form of a family entertainment area, combined dining area and contemporary fitted kitchen. Impressive glazing has been installed throughout including full width concertina doors which bring elements of the garden into the property providing ideal party, social and entertainment space. The property is in-keeping with its surrounding conservation area and is approached via a gated and walled front garden of a wonderful size with a sweeping gravel driveway softened by a number of established trees and shrubs. The imposing front elevation sets a precedent for the remainder of the accommodation. The entrance door is of period design and enjoys a wonderful fan light over set into a recessed storm porch. The porch is finished in sandstone with marble steps and panelled walls. The hall is inviting, spacious and fashioned in Victorian splendour. The focal point is the return staircase leading to the upper floors with decorative iron frets, spindles and carved and turned newel posts. A short flight of steps leads down to the lower hall providing access to the cloakroom and wc, converted basement and the sensational extension which connects to both the sitting room and utility room. The first floor is accessible via the beautiful staircase with a half landing providing access to a guest shower room and wc and two deep linen storage cupboards with leaded light and stained glass windows. The first floor landing serves the master bedroom suite which has an en-suite bathroom and dressing room. The remainder of the bedrooms are of a good size and set out over the first and second floor. A second floor bathroom serves the upper floor sleeping quarters. The property has been tastefully modernised and well kept over the years with much of its original character and charm being restored and retained. The surrounding gardens have been beautifully maintained and offer substantial areas of lawn to the front and side with re-commissioned walls, a wide variety of established trees and shrubs and ample parking. To the front a separate driveway is accessible via twin gates from Elmsley Road providing further off road parking and leads to the garage. The rear and side gardens are beautiful in design and the rear of the property is served by a substantial stone terrace connecting to the concertina doors and contemporary living accommodation. There is a side courtyard for storage, a further courtyard serves the utility room and a brick built out-building. This fine example of Victorian architecture combined with a modern and bespoke creation provides a rare and wonderful opportunity to the South Liverpool market place.
