The first house to be built on one of Liverpool's oldest streets has been restored to its former glory.
Situated on Rodney Street in the Georgian Quarter, the Grade II* townhouse was built between 1783 and 1784 on a site leased by slavery abolitionist and former Liverpool MP William Roscoe. Spread out over five floors, the historic property was originally a residential home but later became let out for commercial use, with the German Consulate once being based there.
When Mr and Mrs James bought the townhouse in 2020 after seeing an article in the ECHO, they said it was in a state of disrepair. With original features and years of history hidden under layers of paint, the couple spent the following 12 months transforming the property back into a family home.
