-[about your new home]-

Your new home on Rainhill Road is a classic terrace home that wears its character comfortably. The block-paved driveway immediately sets the tone, giving you off-road parking right outside your own front door, something that quickly becomes a small daily luxury. There is enough space here to pull in with ease, unload the car, or simply come home at the end of a long day without circling the street.

The brick frontage has a warmth to it, grounded and familiar, softened by the white-framed bay window that draws your eye. That bay does more than add character. It hints at the space inside, promising a front room that feels wider, brighter, and more open than you might expect at first glance.

Once you step inside, you'll discover a home brimming with potential underneath the required cosmetic refresh. Firstly, there's the living room with proportions that are generous, with a wide front window pulling in plenty of daylight and giving you a clear sense of space as soon as you arrive. There's a strong sense of symmetry here, helped by the chimney breast and the width of the room, which makes planning furniture feel intuitive rather than forced.

The walls tell you exactly where you might start. Some areas are stripped back, others still carry their old layers. You can already picture fresh plaster, soft neutral tones, or perhaps something warmer and more character-led. The flooring gives you a practical base to work from, and the layout easily accommodates a proper seating arrangement without compromising flow. This is the kind of room that could become cosy and snug, or lighter and more social, depending on how you choose to live in it.

Moving through, the house opens out into the kitchen, and the shift in feel is immediate. This is a proper kitchen, arranged in a wide u-shape that wraps around the space and makes the most of the room on offer. There is a long run of worktop to your left, another stretching across the back wall, and a further section beneath the window, all coming together to create a really practical layout. It feels purposeful, with plenty of cupboard space both above and below, and enough surface area to cook without everything feeling cluttered.

The window over the sink draws in natural light and keeps the space feeling open, while the tiled walls and darker worktops give you a clear sense of what's already in place. It feels like a blank canvas for someone who enjoys the idea of upgrading this space into their dream kitchen. Whether that's swapping out doors, softening the colour palette, or going all-in on a full redesign, the bones of the room are solid and well thought out. There's room here for everyday cooking, for meals that take a bit longer, and for the inevitable gathering around the worktop that happens when people come over.

Back outside, the rear garden reveals itself as a long, structured space with clear lines and a real sense of purpose. The moment you're out here, you'll notice the depth. It stretches away from the house in stages, each level defined but connected, giving you options rather than one single open slab. This is a space that won't demand constant maintenance before it can be enjoyed.

As you move towards the end of the garden, the final section opens out slightly. Beyond that, the garden backs onto Pennys Pit' park and green space and trees rather than neighbouring houses. In the warmer months, that backdrop will soften everything further, adding movement and sound without compromising privacy. You are not overlooked, and once the door closes behind you, it feels calm and contained.

What stands out most is how adaptable this space feels. You could create distinct zones here without forcing it. A seating area close to the house, somewhere more relaxed or green at the far end, and perhaps a path that connects it all together. Equally, you could keep it simple, enjoy

the space as it is, and let it evolve gradually as you settle in.

Heading upstairs, the first floor continues the theme of straightforward, usable space with clear potential once you've injected it with your stylistic design.

The main bedroom sits to the front of the house and immediately benefits from a broad window that pulls in plenty of natural daylight. The proportions feel long and clear rather than boxy, giving you flexibility in how you lay the room out. There's enough width here to comfortably accommodate a double bed, bedside tables and additional storage without crowding the walkways. This room feels calm and practical, somewhere you can switch off at the end of the day without feeling hemmed in.

The second bedroom sits quietly to the rear and feels very different in character. This room is narrower but still completely functional, and it is clearly set up to work well as a single bedroom. The window looks out over green space, giving the room a more peaceful outlook than you might expect. It would also lend itself well to a home office, dressing room, or guest space, especially if you value separation from the main bedroom. The proportions encourage a more intentional setup, which often results in a room that feels considered rather than cluttered.

The bathroom completes the first floor and is notably generous for a house of this style. The bath runs neatly along one wall, with crisp white tiling that reflects the daylight coming through the window. The window itself is well-positioned, bringing in light while maintaining privacy, and the view out to greenery gives the room a surprisingly open feel. There is ample space around the sink and W/C, allowing the room to breathe rather than feeling tightly fitted with large storage cupboard to keep the pace clear. The layout works well for day-to-day use, but also offers scope to modernise over time without needing to rethink the fundamentals of the space.

-[living on rainhill road]-

Rainhill Road is just off Warrington Road which serves as one of the main routes through Rainhill village. It's a stone's throw from Rainhill train station too, which ensures you remain well-connected.

This particular spot on Rainhill Road borders with Penny's Pit Park, an ideal spot for nearby dog walks or for letting the kids run off some steam with its play area.

This is a great spot for local conveniences. On your doorstep and the surrounding area, you'll find a range of nearby shops and restaurants only a short walk away for you to enjoy.

Just a short drive away, you'll find Cables Retail Park and Prescot town centre which provides you with a wealth of larger local amenities for your convenience.

There's no shortage of local schools either, with Rainhill High just down the road and Rainhill St Ann's C of E Primary - making this the perfect place to settle down as a family!
