The Art Room, The Orchard, Huyton. L36

Description

Welcome to The Art Room, a one-of-a-kind town house set within The Orchard, an exclusive and beautifully maintained development in Huyton. Rich in history and character, this stunning home was once part of the prestigious Huyton College, later becoming Liverpool College for Girls. Originally serving as the school's art room and gymnasium, the building has been thoughtfully converted into an exceptional residence that combines period elegance with modern luxury.

Offering approximately 255 square metres (2,745 sq ft) of internal living space, this substantial home is arranged over three beautifully designed floors. A defining feature is the dramatic use of space, with mezzanine levels created from the former gymnasium and viewing platform, giving the property its unique architectural character and a wonderful sense of light and openness. From the welcoming entrance porch through to the expansive open-plan kitchen and morning room, every detail has been considered. The home is finished with Amtico wood-effect flooring, decorative skirting boards, architraves, and tasteful contemporary touches throughout. Living spaces are both cosy and versatile, including formal and informal reception areas, a snug, mezzanine lounges, and a study. The kitchen forms the heart of the home, featuring quartz worktops, a central island, integrated appliances, and direct access to a private rear courtyard-perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Five well-appointed bedrooms are located across the upper floors, with two stylish en-suite bathrooms, a luxurious dressing room, and a spacious family bathroom. The top floor also provides access to a private roof terrace offering views over the development. Externally, the property enjoys private parking in front of a single garage, use of beautifully maintained communal gardens, and a secluded courtyard to the rear.

With its unique layout, generous proportions, rich educational heritage, and prime location in one of Huyton's most sought-after developments, The Art Room presents a rare opportunity to own a truly exceptional and character-filled family home.

"The property enjoys the benefit of both shared ownership and full use of the lush and attractive green, parking areas and communal gardens that envelop the Orchard forming part of Huyton College conservation area. Seven shareholders collectively own the green space, access road and communal gardens under Zone 2 management limited. A modest service charge of £25 per calendar month applies to maintain the same. Future improvements are being explored including enhanced electronic gates. Ownership of the foregoing will be transferred upon completion"

The Art Room is located within The Orchard, an exclusive gated development tucked away in one of Huyton's most desirable residential areas. Set in the L36 postcode, this peaceful yet well-connected location offers a perfect balance of suburban tranquillity and urban convenience.

Huyton is a well-established area with a strong sense of community, offering a variety of local shops, cafés, and amenities just a short distance away.
