An outstanding property situated in a highly desirable location, with a two bedroom cottage and impressive views.
Description
Willowbank sits in a stunning elevated location with sweeping views over the Dee Estuary and Welsh Hills. The property is situated within one of the North West's most desirable locations and offers flexible accommodation arranged over two floors with ancillary accommodation available in the two bedroom cottage.
The property is approached via an impressive private drive which winds through the grounds, reaching an area for parking beside the detached garage block.
The ground floor unfolds around an impressive reception hall, beautifully appointed with rich wood panelling and centred on a sweeping, statement staircase. This elegant space sets the tone for the home and provides a wonderful setting for hosting and entertaining. The accommodation on this level includes a well equipped kitchen with larder, a versatile living/dining room, cloakroom, WC, and a dedicated study fitted with bespoke oak cabinetry. Further rooms comprise a formal dining room, an expansive games/snooker room, a tech room, a refined formal lounge, and wine store. Many of the rooms on this level have direct access to the grounds, providing the sense of connection between the house and its surrounding landscape.
The first floor is graced by a magnificent galleried landing, creating a striking vantage point and a wonderful sense of volume throughout. The spacious principal bedroom suite features a beautifully appointed en suite bathroom, an elegant dressing room and a private balcony that captures the far reaching views to stunning effect. The second bedroom also benefits from its own dressing room and en suite, while a further four well proportioned bedrooms, each with individual en suite facilities, complete this superb level of accommodation
Externally
The garden lies mainly to the rear of the house, where young hedging and trees provides privacy. This garden is predominantly laid to lawn and the large patio is a great space for outdoor dining and entertaining.
The Cottage
The Cottage is approached via stone steps with ramp providing wheelchair access. Arranged over a single level, it offers exceptionally flexible accommodation with its own private front door and complete independence from the main house. The layout comprises two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a fully fitted kitchen, and a generously proportioned lounge area. Double doors open onto a further decked patio, ideal for alfresco dining while enjoying the captivating views across the Estuary.

Heswall 1 mile, Liverpool 10 miles, Manchester 50 miles, M53 Motorway 5 miles, M56 Motorway 8 miles, A55 Expressway 14 miles, Liverpool Airport 22 miles, Manchester Airport 43 miles
Willowbank enjoys an imposing and wonderfully private position on one of the Wirral’s most prestigious residential roads. Its location offers exceptional convenience for Heswall, which provides an excellent selection of amenities, specialist shops and highly regarded restaurants. The historic, Roman walled city of Chester lies approximately 13 miles to the east, offering a more comprehensive range of services together with extensive out of town retail parks.
Schooling is well provided with a good selection of Wirral schools including nearby Calday Grange, Birkenhead School and the King's & Queen's schools in Chester.
The area benefits from excellent road communications, with the M53 situated approximately five miles away, providing swift access to the wider North West and its key commercial centres. Liverpool and Manchester are within daily commuting distance and are both served by international airports. Hawarden Airport, which is about 20 minutes away, provides excellent facilities for Private Business Aircraft. For travel to London there is a 2 hour rail service from Chester station to Euston.
On the recreational front there are four Premier League football clubs within easy reach, rugby, cricket and tennis clubs locally, sailing on the Dee Estuary and several golf courses including Heswall, Caldy and Royal Liverpool Open Championship course at Hoylake. Excellent field sports are just a short drive away and for the equestrian enthusiasts there is racing at Chester and Aintree. A motor racing circuit at Oulton Park, beyond Chester, provides a range of events.
