Property description
As agents Sutton Kersh are pleased to offer for sale this excellent example of a beautiful imposing Victorian residence situated on the fringe of Sefton Park offering bright, elegant and spacious accommodation over four levels. The property is approached via a sandstone piered and gated entrance and the spacious driveway. The entrance to the property has sandstone steps with ornate piers all of which is complemented by a marble coloumed portico entrance with detailed stone carving believed to have a nautical theme including carved stone male and female figure heads and dressed stone block work with inset leaded light windows. Upon entering the property it becomes apparent that attention to detail was a top priority when originally constructed and the present owners have taken time and care to maintain the same. Crossing over the Minton tiled floor in the vestibule entrance you are greeted by a stunning and elegant reception hall with a beautiful sweeping return staircase leading to the upper floors.
