It’s time for different. We know that finding a "forever home" often means looking past the magnolia paint to find a house with real soul.

55 York Avenue is exactly that—a handsome period property with all the high ceilings and original fireplaces you’d expect, just waiting for someone to bring it back to life and make it their own.

The potential here is huge. You’ve got two really spacious reception rooms —think cosy log burners or elegant formal lounges. To the rear, the kitchen offers the perfect footprint to knock through or extend, creating that big, open-plan heart of the home everyone is looking for. There’s also the added bonus of a downstairs shower room, which is a total lifesaver for busy family life.

Upstairs, the space continues with four proper bedrooms and a family bathroom. Whether you need a dedicated home office, a nursery, or four double rooms for a growing family, the layout is flexible enough to work however you need it to.

The location? It’s arguably one of Crosby’s best. You’re a short stroll from the coffee shops and independent bars of Crosby Village, and close enough to the beach for those Sunday morning walks. For the kids, you’re spoilt for choice with Ursuline and Valewood Primary nearby, plus Merchant Taylors' and St Mary’s just around the corner.

If you’re looking for a project that rewards you with a standout home in a prime L23 spot, this is the one.
