Longacre has a long and interesting history having once been part of the Speke estate and can be dated back to 1837. The property was fully rebuilt in the 1920’s and benefits from several large extensions providing exceptional family living spaces. The main living room provides a large south facing picture window and feature fireplace with a further family snug giving flexibility to families.
The family kitchen is set to the rear offering a bright & sociable area featuring a range of matching shaker style wall and base units with granite work surfaces, three oven electric Aga with an electric module attached and a range of integrated appliances. Set off the kitchen is a study / bedroom 5 with views over the garden and a useful shower room which had enabled the previous owner to use this as a ground floor bedroom in later life. Also set off the kitchen is a large utility room plus lobby area with fitted storage and a door out to the parking area and garage.
On the first floor there are 4 bedrooms. The master bedroom benefits from dual aspect windows and fitted wardrobes and access to a private balcony which enjoys elevated views over the garden and surrounding fields.
The gardens and grounds extend to 0.512 of an acre and include both a double garage and double stable block currently used as workshops and garden stores with a substantial loft area perhaps offering a good start for an annexe and/or holiday let (subject to any necessary local authority consents).
