Riva Cottage is a substantial, characterful detached home set within about an acre of mature, private gardens just a short walk from Heswall centre. The house offers generously proportioned reception rooms including a dining hall, lounge and garden room, plus a study and large kitchen/breakfast room — living spaces that suit relaxed family life or comfortable downsizing.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes five bedrooms (four doubles) and three bath/shower rooms, with a light, double-aspect master and ensuite. Practical features include a large utility, integral double garage with electric door and extensive gravel parking accessed via a shared private drive. The south‑facing garden, patio and adjoining woodland deliver exceptional privacy and strong outdoor appeal.
Notable commercial considerations are factual and important: the woodland beyond the immediate garden carries an overage provision — vendors reserve 50% of any uplift in value for 20 years if planning permission is granted for additional dwellings. The property has been in the same family for over 50 years and, while extended and modernised over time, parts may benefit from updating to meet contemporary tastes.
Additional points to note: council tax is high (Band H) and the private drive is shared with three other properties. Overall this is a rare, secluded plot close to village amenities, offering scope for sensitive improvement or straightforward family living in a desirable Heswall location.
