Refurbished Grade II listed home on site of former garden centre for sale

A Grade II listed home has gone on the market in Merseyside, that offers more than the average house listing.

The detached six bedroom house, Runnells Lane, Thornton, has been recently fully renovated throughout, with new flooring and a kitchen being fitted. The current owner has made sure it’s ready for the new buyers to move straight into.

However the new buyers will not just be purchasing the historic home which was formerly known as being the site of Rushton's nurseries and garden centre. They will also be acquiring a large plot of land, with a stable block, outbuildings and plenty of parking and garden space.

The stable block has been granted planning permission, to be converted into three residential barn conversions. This means the new buyer could be in for an investment or renovation project.

It’s currently listed for £800,000 with Clive Watkin. According to Rightmove, properties in Thornton had an overall average price of £244,762 over the last year.

Most of the sales during the last year were semi-detached properties, selling for an average price of £279,895. Terraced properties sold for an average of £141,762, with flats fetching £132,188.

Overall, sold prices in Thornton over the last year were 2% down on the previous year and 9% up on the 2019 peak of £225,002. Images of the property show it’s secluded behind two gated entrances.

There's a large front garden on offer and also plenty of space to the back of the property, where there's enough parking for multiple cars and further space for garden development. The home itself boasts three reception rooms, a family bathroom and kitchen located on the ground floor.
