Property description

Valentines are thrilled to bring to the market this five bedroom semi-detached house, which is set over three stories, nestled in the heart of Wallasey. Erin Port House is the home of renowned fairy artist Charlotte Bird and her Husband Brian; many of her famous 'Common House Fairy' pictures were taken in this house. The house itself was built in 1906 and was the home of a wealthy ship builder and still has the servants bells in the kitchen, of which they still work in the rooms of the house. When Charlotte and Brian moved in, the house had not had any work done on it since 1930, so still had all it's original features. It has now been restored back to it's Edwardian splendour. The spectacular interior briefly comprises: vestibule, entrance hallway, front parlour, library, conservatory, WC, morning room, galley style barn kitchen to the ground floor. Off the first floor landing there are three bedrooms, large bathroom and separate toilet. On the top floor are two double bedrooms and two roof space attic rooms. This magnificent property has new central heating and damp proof course and has been re-wired and re-plumbed. With new hardwood double glazed windows to rear and resorted windows to front. Complete with notably good sized walled gardens, providing a secluded exterior retreat. Viewing is truly crucial to observe this opulent residence in all it's luxurious glory! EPC Rating D.
Directions
From our Wallasey office turn left onto Wallasey Road and continue through onto Liscard Village by going straight through the three sets of traffic signals and then take first immediate right onto Manor Road. At the end of the road turn left onto Seabank Road where the property can be found.
Location
Seabank Road is a sought after tree lined suburban road which is just a stones throw from the River Mersey, the promenade and New Brighton beach - boasting panoramic views across to Liverpool. The area of New Brighton, has recently undergone a great deal of regeneration with the new Marine Point development and presents many new Seaside attractions including parks, bars, restaurants, casino, multi screen 'Light' cinema, fairground, theatre and golf courses. There are plans to bring a pier/landing stage back for the 'Ferry across the Mersey' trips to Liverpool and the great liners are now making a comeback to the port, which is steeped in maritime history.
