An 18th-century house with historical records dating back to the mid-1700s has been listed for sale in Higher Bebington at £425,000. The property on Kings Brow sits a five-minute walk from Storeton Woods, the site of an old sandstone quarry with roots stretching to Roman times.
The oldest part of the four-bedroom home originally served as a public house, dispensing ale as far back as the 1700s. Today it stands as an example of the area's architectural heritage, built in traditional sandstone beneath a slate roof and retaining a collection of original period features.
Original Features Preserved
Exposed sandstone walls, wooden ceiling beams, an open fireplace and exposed timber flooring all reflect the house's 18th-century origins. Marketed by Karl Tatler Estate Agents, the property is described as a "truly unique period home full of character, history and potential".
The home spans three floors including a basement. The ground floor opens onto a lounge, a sitting room/study, a kitchen, a dining room and a utility room. The kitchen adjoins the dining room and overlooks the rear garden and patio, while the dining room provides access to the basement, which offers potential for conversion into additional accommodation subject to the necessary permissions.
Four Bedrooms and Garden
All four bedrooms can accommodate a double bed, with two being dual aspect. The principal bedrooms sit to the rear with views over the garden. The four-bedroom arrangement provides more accommodation than is often associated with comparable period homes.
Externally, the property has both a patio and lawn, with gated side access leading to an enclosed garden that extends around the house. A substantial garage, located a few metres along Kings Brow, is accessed via sliding doors and equipped with power and lighting, offering space for vehicle storage, workshop use, trades, hobbies or additional storage.
The house is being sold with no onward chain, potentially allowing for a speedy sale. It is on the market for £425,000.
