Arnold & Phillips are delighted to present this charming four-bedroom double fronted semi-detached Victorian-style home, attractively positioned along the ever-popular Windsor Road in Southport.
This handsome double-fronted residence perfectly combines timeless period character with modern practicality, resulting in a home that feels both impressive and welcoming. Ideally located within easy reach of Southport Town Centre, residents enjoy convenient access to an excellent range of shops, restaurants, transport links and leisure facilities, while the nearby villages of Birkdale and Churchtown offer further independent boutiques, cafés and highly regarded schools, making this an excellent choice for growing families or those seeking a well-connected, characterful home.
The property is approached via a spacious driveway providing side-by-side parking for multiple vehicles, a rare advantage in homes of this period. Its traditional façade is immediately appealing, with striking bay windows and decorative brickwork that reflect the property’s Victorian roots. Stepping inside, the scale and craftsmanship of the home are quickly apparent, with high ceilings, deep skirting boards, ornate coving and intricate ceiling roses lending a sense of grandeur to each room.
To the front, two impressive bay-fronted reception rooms sit either side of the hallway, each beautifully appointed to suit a range of uses. The left-hand room centres around a multi-fuel log burning stove set within a character surround, offering both warmth and a focal point for relaxed evenings. Opposite, the second reception room features a striking cast iron open fireplace, a nod to the home’s heritage and a detail that brings a comforting authenticity. Both rooms feel generously proportioned, providing options for formal entertaining, a family sitting room or even a more casual day room depending on how the home is used.
Moving towards the rear, a third spacious reception room extends into the open-plan kitchen and dining area, forming a natural gathering point within the home. The kitchen is well fitted with a range of wall, base and tower units, complemented by contrasting work surfaces and integrated appliances. There’s ample space for a dining table, creating a sociable environment for mealtimes or casual get-togethers. A useful utility area sits neatly to one side, along with a rear boot area that’s particularly practical for families or those with pets, providing a designated space to store outdoor wear. Modern patio doors lead from the dining area directly onto the garden, offering a pleasant flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Upstairs, the first floor continues to impress with four generous double bedrooms, each tastefully decorated in neutral tones and finished to a high standard. The main bedroom enjoys its own spacious en-suite, fitted with a walk-in shower, WC and wash hand basin, while the remaining bedrooms are well served by a traditional family bathroom. The main bathroom provides a bath with overhead shower, WC and wash hand basin, finished with classic tiling that complements the home’s style without feeling dated. The landing itself is wide and bright, reflecting the proportions found throughout the property, and the overall layout lends itself well to family living, offering ample flexibility in how each room might be used.
Externally, the home continues to offer great practicality. The rear garden has been designed with low maintenance in mind, fully flagged to provide a durable and tidy space suitable for outdoor seating or hosting during the warmer months. A raised timber decking area offers an additional seating option, ideal for relaxed evenings, while a well-kept potting shed provides useful storage for garden equipment or seasonal items. Despite its low maintenance design, the garden retains a sense of privacy, enclosed by timber fencing and mature borders.
Windsor Road remains one of Southport’s more desirable residential streets, admired for its character homes and close proximity to key local amenities. Just a short walk or drive away, residents can enjoy access to highly regarded primary and secondary schools, supermarkets, and medical facilities. Birkdale Village, with its vibrant café culture, wine bars and boutique shops, lies just a few minutes away, while Churchtown offers a more traditional village setting complete with historic pubs and local artisan businesses. For those commuting or travelling regularly, Southport’s rail station offers direct connections to Liverpool and Manchester, while the nearby A565 and A570 provide convenient road links to surrounding towns and the motorway network.
This attractive Victorian-style home offers an excellent blend of period elegance and practical modern living. Its well-maintained interiors, generous proportions and thoughtful layout make it ideal for family life, while its position within this sought-after part of Southport ensures long-term appeal. With gas central heating, double glazing, and a total floor area extending to approximately 2,162 square feet, this is a home that combines charm, comfort and convenience in equal measure, and an internal inspection comes highly recommended.
