The opportunity to own a chunk of Merseyside history has arisen, with an apartment for sale within a former Victorian gentleman's residence.
The manor on Vyner Road South, in Oxton on the Wirral, is fit for a country lord or lady, but has been converted into a number of homes. The massive three-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment is being marketed by Brennan Ayre O'Neill for a little shy of £290,000.
Inside, the residence is awash with period features, including the ornate, original carved woodwork, a jaw-dropping stained glass window in the stairwell, cast iron radiators and statement fireplaces.

Guests are welcomed into a huge entrance hallway which is decorated in warm tones. Accommodation includes three reception rooms.
A limestone fireplace takes centre stage in the first, which also boasts an unusual corner bay window offering views of the grounds and could be cleverly used as a cosy snug or compact home study. This reception room also leads to a utility room.
The second living space also features a cast iron fireplace and period windows letting lots of natural light in. The third is located off the rectangular kitchen, which is a decent size with ample space for a large dining table.
The significant master bedroom has floor-to-ceiling mahogany built-in wardrobes, giving an abundance of storage space and adding to the period charm. It is also adjacent to the bathroom and separate toilet.
The two remaining bedrooms are smaller in size, but are understood to have once been one room. It could easily be converted back into one massive bedroom.
Outside there is a newly-laid circular turning driveway and sprawling, tiered communal gardens for residents to enjoy. Vyner Road South is a prestigious Wirral postcode, with properties brining in an overall average selling price of £538,000 over the last year.
The majority of sales were detached houses for an average of £614,000 while flats fetched an average of £310,000.
