Substantial five-bedroom home with large garden and excellent school links.
Detached period house dating to 1780, remodelled throughout
This handsome detached house blends genuine 18th‑century character with a high‑quality recent refurbishment, offering almost 2,900 sq ft of family living in sought‑after Helsby. The ground floor has been remodelled into a generous open‑plan kitchen, dining and living hub with a garden room and bi‑fold/double doors that open straight onto landscaped outdoor entertaining space. Two further reception rooms give flexible living for a lounge, playroom or home office.
Upstairs are five good-sized bedrooms, including a principal suite with dressing room, luxury en‑suite and a private balcony with views towards Helsby Hill. The property sits within large, secluded gardens, has two driveways and a substantial double garage, so parking and outdoor space are strong selling points. Local schools, countryside access and fast rail links to Chester, Liverpool and Manchester add to practical family appeal.
Be clear about the few practical drawbacks: there are two bathrooms for five bedrooms, council tax is described as expensive, and some construction details note cavity walls with assumed no insulation and unknown glazing install dates — these may prompt further energy‑efficiency investigation. The house is freehold, in a very low‑crime, affluent area, and offers substantial scope for owners to adapt or further personalise the accommodation.
Overall, Thornfield is best for a family seeking a large, characterful home that is move‑in ready yet offers clear potential for further improvement to energy performance and minor modernisation where required.
