A family who bought a Victorian villa have unearthed its rich history while updating the property.
Ceri Bate, 45, husband Rich and their teenage daughter, moved into their historic Southport home in December 2021 after living in Birkdale.
Ceri said: "We viewed a lot of houses - Southport is luckily full of beautiful Victorian properties - but we’re not the kind of people who can live in a full building site for two years, so we chose a house that was looked after and loved, but just needed updating, rather than a full back to brick project."
