...if it's not too cheeky to ask, can you say if your Nan actually owned the house, or was she a tenant? The house and much of the land around this end of The Pool originally belonged to the Vyner family which is why it probably remained untouched for so long.

was stopped on the hill today waiting to do a right turn onto Poulton Road and a lad in a high vis and hat was having a right good look around the garden bit, then he jumped over the wall and got off pretty quick. I don't think he was a workie coz he didn't have a van or anyone else with him. It would be a shame such a lovely house go to ruin like so many others have...

I passed it today. I hope the impressive boarding up is a precaution against vandals. Scares me though.

We had to tell the landlord to board the house up purely for the fact that there is an alarm and because the windows are so thin anything sets it off.

Well that's reassuring. Let's hope whoever buys it has the cash and the desire to keep it as it should be kept.

http://www.wirralnews.co.uk/wirral-...ctioned-later-this-month-80491-27586024/Wallasey’s oldest house to be auctioned later this month Nov 3 2010 by Lorna Hughes, Wallasey News THE oldest house in Wallasey is going under the hammer later this month. “The Old House” on Limekiln Lane was built in the early 1600s. Although a plate on the building gives a date of 1697, some historians believe construction work started as early as 1627. The three-floor sandstone building recently became vacant after its occupant, a woman in her 90s who was born at the property, moved out. It will be auctioned by Birkenhead-based property consultants Smith and Sons. The firm is expecting the sale to attract keen interest from historians and buyers in the market for a family home. It says the property, which has a guide price of £60-70,000, is “in need of some modernisation and upgrading” but has “great potential”. Chris Johnson, auctioneer at Smith and Sons, said: “The sale of the Old House offers someone an opportunity to grab a great piece of Wallasey history that is being marketed at a very reasonable guide price. “We look forward to showing this property and to seeing the interest this brings on the day.” The house is also known as “Bird’s House” after builder William Bird. It will be one of 20 lots auctioned at the Village Hotel, Bromborough on November 23, starting at 2pm. For more information visit www.smithandsons.net

Thanks for the info Lisa, and for the link on St.Johns.
I was led to believe that the auction for this place took place a couple of weeks ago.
