Birkenhead Road, Willaston, Cheshire

Nestled on a secluded plot spanning approximately half an acre in the picturesque, tranquil and semi rural area of Willaston, arguably one of Cheshire’s most desirable locations. Sits two characterful detached dwellings aptly named ‘The Lodge’ and ‘The Coach House’.

A stunning Grade II listed sandstone property which dates back to 1857. Sympathetically restored and extended in later years with meticulous attention to detail to ensure the aesthetic and period features of this unique property where preserved. Offering spacious and well planned accommodation with an abundance of original features seamlessly blending with modern living. With the added benefit of a separate independent home within the grounds means that in addition to appealing to families, it would also be a good investment for anyone looking for a development potential (The Coach House is not a listed building).

A pillared entrance leads to a private driveway to both properties along with a turning area. The grounds encapsulate the dwellings perfectly, offering a high degree of privacy with patio and lawned areas to the front, side and rear, well established planting beds, orchard and wooded areas. The sweeping lawns could easily be split to easily provide both properties with their own private and separate garden areas.

The lodge is entered via an impressive oriel style sandstone vestibule which in turn opens to a welcoming reception hallway with exposed beams and vaulted ceiling. From the hallway you have a large reception room, currently used as a dining room with steps leading down to a cosy lounge area with exposed sandstone walls and open fireplace. On the opposite side of this magnificent property, you have a sitting room with fireplace and steps leading up to a kitchen, fitted with a comprehensive range of units including a pantry and a range of integrated appliances. Double doors open onto the beautiful gardens from the kitchen. The ground floor is completed by a double bedroom with dressing room and en suite. To the first floor you have two further double bedrooms with built in storage and a modern bathroom with freestanding bath and feature circular window overlooking the grounds.

The Coach house is in need of a scheme of modernisation, offering huge potential for re-development subject to obtaining the relevant permissions. Currently the dwelling stands as a two bedroom detached property which briefly comprises an entrance hallway/reception room with shower room off. Separate lounge/kitchen with conservatory off to the first floor you have two good sized bedrooms and a further bathroom.
