5 bedroom detached house
Key information
Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
From the welcoming central reception with parquet flooring and open fire, this family home flows easily: a snug with bay window and contemporary wall-mounted fireplace; the spacious living room with its open fireplace and a large bay window with views to Bickerton Hill; a large dual aspect contemporary, bespoke kitchen diner with modern built-in appliances, granite tops and an island with ample storage - and a sitting area next to a feature fireplace with wood-burning stove and a tri-fold door opening onto the extensive patio and garden. Leading from the kitchen is a sizeable fitted utility and downstairs W.C. with wet-room shower. The tanked dry cellar houses the ground source heat pump which supplies the hot water and underfloor heating in all rooms downstairs and the oversized radiators upstairs.
Stairs lead from a reception hall to a light part-galleried landing, off which there are three double bedrooms, and a large contemporary family bathroom with walk through shower and separate bath. a A further 2-bedroom suite is currently set out as the principal bedroom with recently installed fitted storage and with a modern en-suite, and the adjacent room is used as a study. The arrangement depending on needs has potential for a large dressing area, a nursery or a suite for a dependent relative or as a 5th bedroom. There is also planning permission for an extensive loft conversion with 2 bedrooms, en-suite bathroom and landing.
The property is approached over a gravelled driveway with parking for multiple vehicles. Steps and a path bordered by a well- stocked front garden with low-level sandstone walling lead up to the oak porched front door.
To the side, a gated driveway leads past the large lawned rear garden up to a 2 acre gated and fenced field. Within the property curtilage are buildings ripe for development (STPP): a two-storey brick-built annexe with stairs and attached lean-to, a large 26 foot corrugated metal garage/barn, and a separate piggery could all be considered within a development scheme.
The south east sloping field is suitable for ponies, a small-holding or perhaps even vines (similar to two local vineyards). There is an idle wind pump in a separate small adjacent paddock. There are superb views of Rawhead and Bickerton and towards The Wirral from the field peak.
Wayleaves and Easements: the property is sold subject to any wayleaves or easements, whether mentioned in these particulars or not.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on February 21, 2022
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
