Homes in Wallasey
Wallasey sits at the northern tip of the Wirral, looking across the Mersey to Liverpool. Its housing is largely Victorian and Edwardian, with terraces and semis in Liscard, Egremont and Seacombe, and larger villas in New Brighton and along the promenade. New Brighton was a popular Victorian resort, and many of its large houses have been converted into flats.
Wallasey Village and the area around the golf club have sought-after inter-war semis and detached houses, while Leasowe and Poulton have post-war estates. The coastal location brings exposure to wind and salt, and some low-lying areas near Leasowe have flood risk. Victorian homes here are typically brick with slate roofs, and many terraces have had rendered or pebbledashed fronts added over the years, which can hide cracking or trap damp. Bay windows and chimneys take the brunt of the weather off the Irish Sea.
Areas we cover include New Brighton, Liscard, Egremont, Seacombe, Poulton, Wallasey Village, Leasowe.
