An imposing 5-bedroom detached family home on a very large south-facing plot, built for a member of Viscount Leverhulme’s family and retaining original Tudor Revival detailing. The house offers generous, well-connected reception rooms with oak panelling, stripped parquet floors and twin fireplaces that create an exceptional entertaining flow through to the dining room and conservatory.
The recently fitted Mark Wilkinson kitchen with granite surfaces and Miele appliances sits comfortably alongside historic features, delivering a blend of period character and modern convenience. The principal suite includes bespoke fitted furniture, an innovative frosted-glass dressing room and underfloor heating to the ensuite. Two further ensuites and a family bathroom serve the first floor; the second floor provides flexible space for play, gym or additional bedrooms.
Outside there is a long, tree-lined sweeping driveway, ample parking and a three-car garage with external WC. Mature, private gardens with Yorkstone patios, oak trees, rhododendrons and an original 1930s greenhouse offer strong outdoor appeal. The location provides excellent road links (M53) and nearby highly-regarded schools, with Heswall and Oxton’s boutiques and amenities within easy reach.
Practical points to note: the property’s cavity walls are recorded as having no insulation (assumed) and the age and scale will bring ongoing maintenance responsibilities typical of large period houses. Double glazing has been installed post-2002, and the home is offered freehold with no flood risk recorded.
