Description
Riverhill is a historic property, formerly operating as a 14 bedroom hotel and restaurant. Originally built in the late 1800s as a grand private residence, it showcases the Arts and Crafts architectural style. The property has been vacant for approximately 18 months and is now fully stripped back, ready for redevelopment.
The site includes parking for both visitors and staff, alongside landscaped gardens and a rear courtyard patio. Set back from the main frontage on Talbot Road, the property is surrounded by mature trees and shrubs, offering a high level of privacy and seclusion throughout the grounds.
Location
The site is situated in the primarily residential suburb of Prenton, approximately 1.4 miles south of Birkenhead town center. The surrounding neighborhood consists mainly of large, detached Victorian houses, some of which have been converted into apartments.
The property has excellent road connections, with the A552 located just south and the M53 motorway only 1.2 miles to the west, providing convenient access to the national motorway network.
Tenure
Freehold.

By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
