Rodney Street 'wonderful labyrinth' townhouse with hidden apartment

A vast Georgian Quarter property described as a “wonderful labyrinth” has been put on the market, offering far more than its exterior suggests. The unusual building, marketed by Marshall Property, sits on historic Rodney Street in the heart of the Georgian Quarter and spans an impressive 4,047 sq ft.

Rodney Street is one of Liverpool's best-known historic streets, surrounded by the Georgian Quarter's restaurants, bars, shops, and cultural attractions, yet it still offers a distinctly residential feel. The property is listed for offers over £1,000,000 and is currently split between a multi-floor commercial premises and a separate apartment, with the two spaces offering a mix of original features, modern interiors, and plenty of potential.

Commercial space and original features

The commercial part stretches across several floors, with rooms currently used as offices, storage spaces, and beauticians rooms. There are also reception and waiting areas, a kitchen, and multiple bathrooms, while the building's original features including an impressive fireplace and large double windows remain a major feature throughout.

From the grand entrance and original features to the maze of rooms, hidden apartment, and enormous bedroom, the property presents a fascinating layout. The commercial premises have planning permission to be converted into a residential dwelling, with the current plans providing for four bedrooms – although this could be amended to six.

Separate apartment and potential uses

Downstairs, a completely separate apartment provides a very different feel. The modern three-bedroom apartment has its own private entrance from Rodney Street, an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, two bathrooms, and access to a secluded rear yard. According to the listing, it could be divided to create a fourth bedroom, with both spaces still large enough to comfortably work as doubles.

The apartment is currently used for short-term rentals, but it could also serve as a long-term home. Estate agents Marshall Property describe the property as a “unique and magnificent” opportunity and say the scale and layout “really need to be seen to be appreciated”.
