4 bed detached house for sale

St. Michaels Road, Blundellsands L23

‘Ellerslie’, St Michaels Road, Blundellsands

Standing proudly at the head of St Michaels Road, Ellerslie is a characterful 1926 gem - a home brimming with original features, generous proportions and beautifully kept south-facing gardens.

From the moment you step through the entrance vestibule - complete with original quarry tiles - you know this is something special. The original wood-block flooring, intricate coving, panelling and open fires speak to the craftsmanship of its era, while the layout lends itself effortlessly to modern family life.

The formal lounge runs the full depth of the property, bathed in natural light from dual-aspect windows. To the rear, a magnificent picture window perfectly frames the immaculate south-facing garden - a view that changes with the seasons. An open fire (ideal for logs or smokeless coal) anchors the room and adds to the unmistakable sense of warmth and character.

A second reception room - the family room - offers another fireplace and direct access onto the garden, while the dining room is an absolute delight, centred in front of a fully working open fire set within an elegant green surround. From here, the kitchen flows through to a breakfast room, and onward to what was formerly a second garage - now cleverly repurposed as a generous utility room with pantry and WC.

Upstairs, a beautiful landing leads to four double bedrooms, the largest benefitting from its own en suite WC. There are also two family bathrooms - ideal for busy households. And then there’s the surprise: A fully fitted loft space, complete with carpet, radiator and window - perfect as a hobby room, studio or tucked-away workspace.

The plot is exceptional. To the front, a vast driveway, lawn and double garage create an impressive approach. To the rear, the south-facing garden has been immaculately landscaped, featuring a summer house, established trees and borders, sweeping lawn and patio - a private, sun-soaked sanctuary.

Practicalities are well covered too: The roof was carefully relaid in 2024, retaining the original Rosemary tiles wherever possible and sympathetically supplementing them where needed, alongside new guttering. A Worcester boiler was installed in 2019 and has been serviced annually.

Location-wise, you’re a short stroll to both Hall Road and Blundellsands & Crosby train stations, placing Liverpool and beyond within easy reach - all within one of Blundellsands’ most prestigious and sought-after settings.

A home of substance, soul and standing - Ellerslie is ready for its next chapter.

A note from the seller: “What i’ll miss most about this house is hosting Christmas in the dining room, with the fire blazing - it’s always been such a special time. In the summer, there’s nothing better than seeing the family enjoying the garden. It has been a truly happy home for over 40 years, and i’m so excited for the next family to love it just as much as we have.”
