Newly renovated house near Liverpool City Central, walkable to hospital and uni

A designed three bedroom house in central Liverpool, sleeping six

This is a Victorian house that came through a full refurbishment this year. I designed it properly rather than furnishing it with whatever was cheapest, and the difference shows in the photos. Deep colours, warm lighting, good beds and rooms that feel calm at the end of a long day. You get all three floors to yourselves.

Where it is:

The position is the main reason people book. The University of Liverpool and the Royal Liverpool University Hospital are both five minutes on foot, along with Liverpool John Moores, the School of Tropical Medicine and the Dental Hospital. A Tesco Extra is five minutes away, so the shop is done before you unpack.

Town is a 30 minute walk through the Georgian Quarter or 15 minutes by bus, with buses from the end of the road. From Lime Street you can reach Manchester Piccadilly in roughly 35 to 55 minutes on a direct train. Liverpool ONE, the waterfront, the Baltic Triangle and Anfield are all straightforward from here.

The house:

Ground floor. A living room with a TV, a separate dining room that works well if anyone needs to sit down with a laptop, and a kitchen with an induction hob, oven, fridge freezer, microwave and a washer dryer, so laundry is washed and dried in the house rather than carried somewhere.

First floor. Two double bedrooms and the shower room, which has a rainfall shower over the bath.

Top floor. A large loft double with its own TV and desk, quiet and away from the rest of the house. The best room for anyone who wants to work or sleep undisturbed.

Every bed and mattress was bought new this year, and two of the bedrooms have proper desks and office chairs.

What is included:

All bills. Gas, electricity, water and full fibre broadband, which holds up for video calls on several devices at once. Fresh linen and towels, a fully equipped kitchen, and self check in so you arrive when it suits you.

Street parking outside is free and unrestricted, with a visitor permit available if you need one.

Who it suits:

It works well for families visiting the city, groups of friends, colleagues here for work, visiting academics, conference attendees, and anyone here for hospital appointments who wants somewhere comfortable within walking distance.

Good to know:

The street is quiet and residential, so the house suits people who want somewhere calm to come back to rather than somewhere to hold a party. No smoking inside.

The bedrooms are on the first and second floors, so there are stairs to all of them. Worth knowing if anyone in your group would find that difficult.
