Substantial five-bedroom home with estuary views and private woodland access.
Five double bedrooms and four bathrooms across over 4,000 sq ft
Set high above Heswall in a private, woodland setting, this striking five-bedroom detached home offers over 4,000 sq ft of flexible family living and dramatic estuary views. The principal floorplan favours entertaining: a large open-plan kitchen/diner with exposed brick, a generous sitting room with floor-to-ceiling glazing, and formal dining and reception spaces that flow to landscaped gardens and terraces. A master suite with balcony, dressing area and four-piece en suite sits alongside four further double bedrooms and multiple bathrooms — ideal for a large or multi-generational household.
Practical strengths include a sweeping driveway, integrated double garage, sauna and utility spaces, mains gas central heating and solar panels. The elevated plot with direct pedestrian access into National Trust woodland provides exceptional privacy and immediate outdoor recreation while remaining a short walk from Heswall village amenities and good local schools.
Buyers should note a few material points: the glazing was installed before 2002 and may require upgrading for long-term thermal performance; broadband speed is reported slow; council tax sits in a very expensive band (H); the property was built in the 1980s–90s and, while well-maintained, will likely benefit from modernisation in parts to match contemporary finishes.
This is a substantial, characterful executive family home in a rare, elevated setting. It will suit purchasers seeking scale, privacy and estuary views who are prepared to update certain elements and accept the higher ongoing tax and service costs associated with the location.
