Victorian Summer Retreat in Liverpool

Welcome to my house!

The property was previously a Forge that the 17th Earl of Derby owned. The Shakespeare North Playhouse has recently opened in Prescot, and it is 4 miles, less than 10 minutes drive, away from the property.

Staying in our home provides a unique opportunity to unwind in a tranquil setting while remaining close to essential amenities. Whether you seek a peaceful retreat or a base for exploring the surrounding areas, this property offers a comfortable and welcoming stay.

As you enter, bask in the spaciousness and natural light flooding the space from numerous windows and skylights. The vast entrance and mezzanine floor, offering accommodation for two guests, create an inviting and open atmosphere. The original brick furnace, now a centrepiece in the lounge, and the preserved oak floorboards contribute to the unique historical ambience.

The living room, featuring the original brick furnace, boasts double-height oak floorboards, a large sofa, a flat-screen TV to watch all your favourite shows, and a door connecting you to a beautiful terrace, perfect for relaxing.

The rear garden is a breathtaking retreat, featuring a large turfed area, a wildflower garden, and picturesque views of nearby fields with horses. The meandering stream adds to the enchanting allure of this outdoor haven.

The kitchen is on an extended part of the building to the rear of the house and features quartz worktops, integrated appliances, a range cooker, and spectacular views over the huge rear garden.

There are five bedrooms. 2 rooms come with an XL king-sized bed, while the other three have a double bed. All beds come with complimentary hotel-quality linens to ensure guests sleep well.

The master bedroom at the rear opens to a private terraced area, while vaulted ceilings enhance the feeling of light and space. The second bedroom comes with ensuite facilities, ensuring both style and convenience.

The bathroom contains all the essentials, including a sunken bath in the large bathroom; clean towels and complimentary toiletries will also be provided for your convenience.

The house is always professionally cleaned for your comfort. Note the property is spread over one floor with an upstairs area containing a bedroom.

Enjoy your stay!

Guests will have access to the entire home!
