A local family invited the ECHO inside their beautiful home to take a look around
People often say that Wirral is an area of contrasts, and nowhere is that more apparent than on Clifton Road in Birkenhead . The tranquil street sits just off busy Borough Road, yet seems far removed from the snarling traffic of the tunnel flyovers and the bustle of the nearby Pyramids shopping centre. Clifton Road is part of Clifton Park, a conservation area known as the 'villa estate'.
The building is Grade II listed, which offers protection from demolition and unsuitable extensions or alterations. The family say they haven't altered the house in any way, and have kept all its original features. According to Hassan, the property was originally double the size of what it is now, but half of it was lost in a fire. When the merchant brothers who originally owned the house died, it was bought by the Clarke family, who kept hold of it until the 1960s.
