UILT in 1876 and grade II listed, this Victorian home exudes charm and character, with features including high ceilings and a grand dining room, redesigned in 1902 by leading Arts & Crafts architect Charles Voysey. Nestled in the heart of Oxton village, Wirral, the detached, threestorey residence is light and spacious, yet also very homely. The ground floor includes three generous reception rooms that lead off from a welcoming hallway with a high ceiling, picture rail, wide staircase and stripped wood flooring. The grand dining room is particularly impressive and would be the perfect entertaining space for dinner parties and family meals. Redesigned in 1902 by Charles Voysey, a celebrated architect of the Arts & Crafts period, the room is characterised by a

The kitchen/breakfast room has a real hub of the home feel, with a range of fitted units, a built-in Aga and tiled flooring. The sitting room, while formal, still has a relaxed and bright feel to it. This is one of the largest reception rooms in the house and features
include a picture rail and a sash window which looks onto the conservatory and garden. In addition to the sitting room there is a good sized lounge at the front of the property, with an archway and a grand bay window. A convenient utility room, cloakroom and a wc complete the ground floor accommodation. The basement is also accessed from the ground floor. On the first and second floors
there are a total of seven bedrooms. The master bedroom was also redesigned by Charles Voysey, two years after the redesign of the dining room. The first floor offers four great sized bedrooms, a dressing room, one en-suite and a family bathroom – all of which lead from a spacious landing area with feature windows. To the second floor there are three further bedrooms, plus a dressing room. The property is set in approxim-
