A three-bedroom end-of-terrace house on Lucerne Street in Aigburth, Liverpool, has been listed for sale with Atlas Estate Agents at offers over £425,000. The property's modest exterior, updated with bright green paint, conceals an open-plan living area designed to resemble a modern bistro.
Unique Interior and Hidden Courtyard
The home's interior features a sociable open-plan lounge and dining area that flows directly from the front door. Sliding double doors open onto a private courtyard garden at the property's centre. The courtyard includes a ladder leading to a small cabin or storage area atop the attached garage, adding a quirky touch.
The house spans four floors, including a basement, ground floor, first floor, mezzanine, and attic suite. The basement offers an adaptable reception room that could serve as a cinema room, games room, gym, or studio. The mezzanine overlooks the main living area and has been converted into an additional sleeping space. The top-floor attic suite includes a bedroom area, a snug, and ample storage, all bathed in natural light from a large skylight.
Historic Features and Window Tax Legacy
Despite its contemporary renovation, the building retains features from its past, including two bricked-up windows at the front. These are remnants of England's historic window tax, a property tax based on the number of windows, which was repealed in 1851. The bricked-up windows serve as a visible reminder of the property's long history.
The property offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms, along with a utility area on the first floor. It also benefits from on-street parking and an attached garage, a rare feature in this desirable residential area.
Versatile Accommodation and Location
The house combines generous proportions, distinctive design, and versatile accommodation. The contemporary kitchen sits alongside dining and lounge areas, with an industrial-style cooking area. Natural light fills the property through skylights and large windows.
Located in Aigburth, the property is close to local amenities and transport links. For more information or to book a viewing, interested parties can contact Atlas Estate Agents via their website.
