Semi-detached House for sale on

Central Avenue

Eccleston Park, St Helens, L34

Tenure: Freehold

Since acquiring this original six bedroom Victorian residence occupying a mature private plot in treelined Central Avenue, the vendor has extensively refurbished the property to the highest of standards in the most sympathetic manner, retaining period features whilst enhancing them in a contemporary style, to provide a truly exceptional home with superb living space both inside and out.

Sunnyside is situated on Central Avenue in leafy Eccleston Park, a highly regarded residential suburb of St Helens on the borough’s western fringes bordering Knowsley and less than 10 miles from Liverpool City Centre.

Eccleston Park Railway Station is within 0.3 miles of the property providing railway access to Liverpool and commuting by car is generously catered for with the M57 motorway nearby giving access to the local and regional motorway network and the Liverpool John Lennon Airport is 10 miles away.

The town of Prescot is just 1 mile away providing local shops and is home to the Shakespeare North Theatre and Knowsley Safari Park.

You approach the elegant Victorian frontage framed by mature trees through bespoke designed electrically operated gates leading onto an extensive slate coloured patterned concrete driveway extending to the front and side of the property. The manicured low maintenance planted areas with specimen trees soften the exterior and a hedgerow provides a privacy screen along the length of the driveway.

The property has the benefit of extensive cellars beneath the full footprint of the house offering storage space that could be developed into additional useable space subject to the necessary planning consents.

Built in the late Victorian period as part of the Beecham family estate the property is a perfect blend of period and modern, bright and breezy, cosy and comfy.

Throughout the house you’ll notice period details such as the generous ceiling heights, stained glass windows and deeply moulded cornicing and skirting boards.

The current owner has created a calm, contemporary feel, with a coherent neutral colour palette throughout, that perfectly complements the period features.
