Visited with @georgebrwn after a good few failed explores that day we found this place.
Ashton House in Oxton, Merseyside, is a notable Victorian-era building with a varied history. Originally built in the 19th century as a grand private residence, it reflects the period when Oxton was developing into a desirable suburb for wealthy Liverpool merchants seeking to escape the industrial city.
In later years, the building was repurposed as a care facility for people with learning disabilities. However, it was eventually vacated and left empty, falling into disrepair over time. By 2020, the property was put on the market, with proposals emerging to convert it into residential flats.
Located within the Oxton Village Conservation Area, Ashton House is part of a protected zone aimed at preserving the architectural and historical character of the village. Redevelopment plans have since been approved, with efforts focused on restoring the building’s exterior while adapting the interior for modern use.
Sorry photos aren’t the best forgot my tripod so everything is handheld.
