This is a rare chance to buy a substantial Victorian detached house (1885) standing in considerable private gardens to front of house, whilst a courtyard area and coach house with tack room and stable are to be found to the rear.
Much accommodation Rose Lawn is presented across three floor with four entertaining rooms, games room, kitchen and with six bedrooms and four bathrooms. There is also a full working modern kitchen to first floor. Gas central heating extends to ground floor only and there is a two- room cellar.
Opportunities for upgrading Whilst Rose Lawn is certainly very much 'move-in-able', you may want to budget for improvement, areas for refurbishment and perhaps some rearrangements to one or two of the rooms.
Lots to look out for With spectacular oak panelling throughout the main lounge, double opening doors and a Liverpool Delph tiled fireplace within the hallway - there are, of course, plenty of Victorian features of architecture to enjoy.
A Special mention In what would have been the gentlemen's billiard room, the rather grand main lounge boasts many original features, including hidden spaces and a flue for cigar smoke in tel - 0151 608 8586 email -

There's also a spectacular leaded bay window with seating arrangement, a most beautiful feature of its time. Inglenook fireplaces are to be found in both the front drawing and dining rooms along with a great view to the private front garden. Look up to the half landing and to the large leaded window here too. The main family kitchen (in oak and with brushed steel cooking appliances and granite effect work tops) stands off the morning room. A room with a contemporary limestone fireplace and double doors to the rear outside. Galley style in design, the kitchen into what we've described as a playroom - another multi functioning room; part conservatory and with double opening doors opening to the garden.
Outdoors To the outside now and the coach house. Clearly good for garaging and yet on the other hand, a shame not to refurbish this space into something more, incorporating the stable block attached to the rear.
You can see from the front photograph how the drive sweeps along the south east side of the garden plot and past the house towards the coach house.
A family garden The garden is considerably private with established rhododendrons separating it from the drive. Nearer the bottom of the garden is a summer house in an original turnstile to ensure one captures the full sun throughout the day, or at least for when you were ready to sit and relax. A second summer house stands to the side - adjacent to a particularly sunny 'decked' spot.
Summary Rose Lawn is an intriguing house, nicely balanced in terms of both number of rooms and number of bedrooms and their proportions. A house that also offers much scope to add and introduce contemporary facets that blend with the original fabric of the property.
New room And what a great location! Waterford Rd runs parallel to Bidston Road and is a stone's throw from Birkenhead School. It's a quiet Road and runs up to one side of Wirral Ladies Golf Club. For Sat Nav: CH43 6UT
