Even though it is a large house, with spectacular outdoor space and a beautiful garden, it also feels very homely. We also loved the fact that the house, while remaining peaceful and secluded, is in the heart of a thriving and friendly community, minutes from the centre of Liverpool.” What would you like to tell parents about the benefits of raising children here?   “The house offers so much for children. There is ample space for indoor playing (hide and seek a favourite) and the children enjoy the excitement of being able to use the cinema with friends or for family movie nights. The swimming pool and the versatile, large but contained garden allow them to burn off energy outside. There are large bedrooms for the kids to enjoy but we love the fact that given there are four bedrooms on one floor, we remain close to each other at night. It is the perfect house for hosting, especially at Christmas when the house really comes into its own, so the children have benefited from having family and friends with us often.” What can you tell us about the history of the property and how it has been adapted since you’ve owned it?  “The house was designed and commissioned back in the 1920's by a famous shipping family, the Holts and we have the original architectural drawings framed and up on the wall. They seemed like a very welcoming family as there are newspaper cut outs about local children being invited into the house to use the lift which we are told was the first residential one of its kind. The house still retains features of its shipping heritage with unique porthole windows in the grand hallway and the old bell system, now made electronic, throughout the rooms. We have adapted the house to make it work better for a family, with the snug becoming a playroom. We have had the gates expertly restored by a local carpenter, we also replaced the boiler with a modern, efficient system to ensure the original part of the house remained cosy and warm through the winter. The water features in the garden were also made child safe.” Who do you think would be the ideal next owner?  “The unique thing about Axholme is that it would work for many types of owners. A large family needing extra space, intergenerational families given the potential for separate living in the annexe, or for a smaller family such as a couple who love to host gatherings or benefit from leisure facilities. The house is move in ready, but it also might suit an owner who wants to adapt the house to suit their needs and style such as adding an upstairs balcony to look over the garden.”  What’s your favourite room and why?  “Each member of the family would answer differently. For the children, the sunken trampoline and zip wire in the garden would be their favourite feature but as our daughter gets a little older, she loves her own space in her bedroom and the ample space for sleepovers. As a couple, one of us would choose the large patio outside the kitchen as it is a great hosting space and a sun trap from early to late in the year. The other one of us would choose the characterful drawing room where you can read a book in front of the fire and place the most amazing Christmas tree in the bay window. Another personal favourite for us all is the circular bench at the back of the garden under the largest tree in the garden, from which you can look back on the house while listening to the pond's waterfall.” Memorable/remarkable event?  “Too many to list, including legendary New Years parties, milestone birthday celebrations, frequent family barbeques and most recently hosting a family wedding in marquees designed to take in the beauty of the garden space. Christmas is also of course the highlight of each year.“ What do you love about the house the most now?  “That it feels like a personal and peaceful sanctuary, away from the busyness of life while always feeling like home. Also, that it has become the heart of our wider family as it is the perfect home to get everyone together.“ What do you love about the local community?  “It is such a friendly, welcoming community with such lovely neighbours. We also love that the quaint village of Oxton is so close and that we are close to excellent schools and children's activities. Living on the Wirral also offers us as a family so much access to walks and nature. We regularly enjoy trips to the beach, woods and farms in the local area.” What you’ll miss most?  “We love the area and community so much that we do not intend to move far so we don't have to miss out on that. But we will miss the homely grandeur of the house and the flexibility to host many gatherings, and most of all the garden as well as the light that pours into our living spaces.” Additional Information  Services: Mains water, electricity, gas and drainage.

A remarkable Grade II Listed country estate of exceptional character, set within approximately 22 acres of private grounds in one of the Wirral’s most sought after locations. A HOME OF DISTINCTION, HISTORY AND RARE PRESENCE There are homes that impress through sheer scale, and then there are homes that leave a lasting impression through something far more difficult to create; atmosphere, provenance and soul. Hidden discreetly within approximately 22 acres of beautifully arranged grounds and approached via a sweeping, private driveway through rolling paddocks, Stanacres is a truly remarkable Neo-Gothic manor house of exceptional architectural significance. Built between 1849 and 1851 for Anglesey timber merchant Owen Jones and designed by celebrated architect Charles Verelst, this substantial Grade II Listed residence extends to almost 8,000 sq ft and represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home where history, lifestyle and modern family living sit in complete harmony. Beyond its striking façade and architectural detailing lies a home that has evolved through generations, one that has welcomed merchants, ship owners and notable residents through its doors and played host to remarkable moments over almost two centuries. Today, Stanacres remains every inch the grand country residence it was intended to be, while providing the warmth, flexibility and practicality demanded by contemporary life. A MAGNIFICENT ARRIVAL The journey to Stanacres is an experience in itself. A long private drive winds gracefully through approximately eleven acres of front paddocks where horses graze peacefully and wildlife regularly appears along the route including hares, pheasants, ducks, geese and buzzards among them. Anticipation builds until the house finally reveals itself amongst its mature landscape. Arriving home here feels entirely removed from everyday life. The sense of privacy is extraordinary, yet despite this seclusion, Thornton Hough village and excellent transport links remain only moments away. ARCHITECTURE DESIGNED TO INSPIRE Stepping through the impressive entrance immediately reveals the craftsmanship and detail that define Stanacres. The scale is captivating. Soaring ceilings, intricate detailing, remarkable proportions and beautifully preserved original features create an immediate sense of grandeur. The stencilled emblem of the Port of Liverpool coat of arms above the staircase remain as a subtle reminder of the home’s fascinating origins and its connection to Liverpool’s maritime heritage. Throughout the house, period character has been thoughtfully preserved and enhanced through extensive restoration works undertaken by the current owners, ensuring that the property’s heritage remains intact while allowing it to function effortlessly as a modern, family home. ELEGANT SPACES FOR LIVING AND ENTERTAINING Stanacres was clearly designed as a house for entertaining and celebration. The principal reception rooms are exceptional in both scale and atmosphere. The formal drawing room is particularly breathtaking, with parquet flooring, a marble fireplace and magnificent French doors opening directly onto the gardens. In warmer months the outside landscape appears to spill effortlessly indoors, while in winter the open fire creates a wonderfully intimate atmosphere. The sitting room offers a more relaxed setting with a log burner and stunning full height windows framing uninterrupted views across the lawns and lake beyond. The formal dining room provides perhaps the greatest sense of occasion of all. Beneath an extraordinary ceiling, this is a room that feels destined for celebrations, family gatherings and unforgettable dinner parties. THE HEART OF THE HOME The kitchen retains a wonderful sense of authenticity and proportion. At its centre sits the traditional AGA, surrounded by bespoke cabinetry and generous preparation space, creating a room perfectly suited to both family life and larger scale entertaining. Overlooking the courtyard and former stables beyond, the space offers exciting future potential should a purchaser wish to further evolve or enlarge the kitchen arrangement. A separate utility and preparation room further enhances practicality and supports the seamless flow expected of a home of this calibre. ACCOMMODATION OF REMARKABLE SCALE AND FLEXIBILITY Across the upper floors, Stanacres continues to impress. The principal suite is exceptional, featuring a luxurious ensuite with underfloor heating, twin basins, a rolltop bath and spectacular views stretching across the estate. In total there are eight generous double bedrooms, six benefiting from ensuite facilities, along with dressing rooms and additional flexible accommodation spaces. Original fireplaces, elevated views and architectural detailing continue throughout. The upper floor provides enormous versatility and could easily accommodate guest suites, independent living arrangements, home offices, creative studios and an extensive range of family requirements. EXTRAORDINARY POTENTIAL BELOW Beneath the house lies a remarkable lower ground floor spanning almost the full footprint of the property. Historically used as workshops, wine stores, offices, game larders, an original ice room and storage areas, this vast space presents an exceptional opportunity for future owners. A private wellness suite, gymnasium, cinema room, contemporary wine cellar or further leisure facilities could all be incorporated while complementing the home’s historic fabric. LANDSCAPED GROUNDS OF NATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE The gardens and grounds at Stanacres are every bit as remarkable as the house itself. Designed by renowned landscape architect Edward Kemp, whose work on Birkenhead Park famously influenced the design of New York’s Central Park, the grounds themselves form part of the property’s extraordinary story. Extending to approximately twenty two acres overall, the estate includes approximately five acres of formal gardens surrounding the house and a magnificent private 1.5 acre lake. Paddocks and grazing complete the grounds and a stone gazebo and entertaining area, former stables and outbuilding are the perfect compliment. The grounds have become a natural sanctuary rich with wildlife. Spring in particular transforms the estate into something almost magical. Rhododendrons burst into colour, ducklings and goslings arrive on the lake, owlets emerge among the trees and the landscape awakens with extraordinary life. For equestrian buyers particularly, the neighbouring Olympic standard facilities create an exceptionally compelling lifestyle opportunity. Equally, the land offers scope for a variety of country pursuits and leisure interests. A VILLAGE LIFESTYLE THAT IS DIFFICULT TO REPLICATE Thornton Hough remains one of The Wirral’s most desirable villages and has retained the quintessential character that makes it so sought after. Picture postcard cottages, excellent pubs, highly regarded schooling and wonderful countryside walks create an exceptional lifestyle environment. The award winning spa and dining facilities at Thornton Hall Hotel sit nearby, alongside restaurants, cafés, golf facilities, equestrian amenities and the renowned village community itself. Despite the wonderfully rural feel, excellent connectivity places Liverpool, Chester, Manchester, North Wales and the motorway network all within convenient reach. A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME PART OF ITS STORY Stanacres is far more than a substantial country house. It is a home that has hosted remarkable lives and extraordinary memories; from merchants and polo players to private performances by world renowned musicians. Yet despite nearly two centuries of history, there remains an unmistakable sense that the story here is still unfolding. For its next custodians, the opportunity is not simply to acquire a magnificent residence but to become part of its legacy. VENDOR INSIGHT – STANACRES When did you first find this home, what first drew you to it, and what was it that instantly captured your heart? “Having lived in suburban properties all of our lives, even though we had a lovely 5 bedroom Victorian property in half an acre, we were looking for something “different”. When we saw Stanacres with its striking Gothic architecture, grand rooms with intricate detailing and its own lake all in a rural setting but just a few miles away, we knew we’d found something special.” Following those first impressions, how has your connection deepened over time, things like the architecture, the setting, the atmosphere and experiences all play a part? “Over time you get used to the impressive, high ceilings and huge doors and windows, the expansive lawns, the lake and the seclusion of being nestled in the countryside. You just come to think of it as home. It’s only when you have visitors that you are reminded how special the property is and how privileged you are to live there.” How would you describe the feeling of arriving home, whether at the end of a busy day, after a weekend trip or simply just a few hours away?  “Arriving home after any trip you always have the anticipation of seeing what wildlife you can spot on the fields down the drive. Regulars include hares, rabbits, the occasional stoat or weasel, geese with goslings and ducks with ducklings in Spring, the resident heron, pheasants, partridge and buzzards. By the time you reach the house there are usually some horses observing you break their tranquillity as you arrive home and have a sense of pride and awe that you actually live here.” Tell us a little about the home’s history. Have you made any changes or additions that you feel have enhanced its character or functionality? “Stanacres was built between 1849-1851 for an Anglesey timber merchant Owen Jones who shipped timber into Liverpool hence the coat of arms of the Port of Liverpool stencilled on the main staircase. The architect was Charles Verelst (formerly Reed) who was the Chair of the Liverpool branch of RIBA at the time. The gardens were laid out by Edward Kemp, author of “How to lay out a garden”, who had been instrumental in laying out Birkenhead Park which was a new concept at that time and was the basis for the design of Central Park in New York. Since then, Stanacres is shown to have had many notable residents including ship owners, wine merchants and seed merchants many of whom had an extensive staff of gardeners, grooms, butlers, footmen, maids, cooks, nurses, coachmen and stockmen. Stanacres also featured in Pevsner & Hubbard’s Cheshire Volume of The Buildings of England. The work undertaken during our time at Stanacres has been to help bring it back to its impressive best.” Is there a particular feature or detail that holds special meaning for you? “One specific feature that holds great memories for us is the stone gazebo as part of the walled garden overlooking the lawn and lake. During the Covid lockdowns of early 2020 we spent a lot of time as a family there when the weather was not quite warm enough to sit out of the protection from the south westerly breeze that the gazebo must have been built to shelter occupants from. We had so many memorable times that upon reflection now, we didn’t feel confined at all.” Which spaces do you find yourself gravitating to most, and why? “One place in the house that gets very good use is to sit at the full height windows in the rear lounge overlooking the lawn and lake. It’s like having your own nature reserve right there in front of you. We have seen wildlife right close up that we have only ever seen on TV before.” How does your home make day to day living feel special? Whether it’s morning light in the kitchen, cosy evenings by the fire, or garden views that never get old? “With fantastic country views from (nearly) all elevations of the house you feel so much more connected with the weather and the seasons. The large windows allow the sunshine to stream in and warm you, but in the colder months it’s cosy and warm in front of the open fire or log burner. The views over the lawns and the lake and the fields out front change with every season but some of the best views are from the rear of the house where on a clear day you can see over to Moel Famau in the Welsh Hills.” What time of year does the property feel most magical, and why? “As we transition from cold wet and dark winter into the warmth and brightness of spring, the grounds of Stanacres transform into a green and flowering, somewhat enchanting garden. The leaves sprout on the trees, the Rhododendrons burst into flower and before you know it there’s ducklings and baby moorhens on the lake, goslings on the field, fledgling owlets fluttering over the lawn, herons nesting on one of the islands, woodpecker chicks chirping for food from the nest in the chestnut tree and many more species of birds nesting than I would care to try and name. The farm and equestrian neighbours help the feel of rejuvenation with lambs and foals in the fields and paddock most years too.” For families, what do you feel makes this such a wonderful place to raise children? “Having brought our three sons to Stanacres when they were around the end-of-primary to start-of-secondary school ages we’ve seen how the property can prove a great play ground at all ages. As younger children they and their friends would have a great time exploring the grounds and the house itself or boating on the lake (sometimes also in the lake) with supervision. As young teens it’s ideal for indoor or outdoor “sit-offs”, playing end-to-end football on the lawn or razzing a dirt bike or motor buggy up and down the fields. As older teens they found enjoyment having somewhere to invite friends from school or the rugby club and give the smoke detectors a good try out. One year they had a festival on the fields where about 40 of them camped and barbequed into the night all out of earshot of us. There must have been over 20 hatchbacks along the drive. Along with many New Years Eve parties we’ve hosted a parent’s 80th on the lawn and a 25th wedding anniversary party with marquees, DJ and an Abba tribute act in the garden. The stone gazebo also makes a great bar by the way. In summary Stanacres makes a wonderful family home not only for special events but for day to day family living. Everyone has enough of their own space but it still feels like a family home.” How would you describe the local community and the lifestyle on offer? “We’ve found the local community most welcoming and have made many friendships that have endured and will last long into the future. As well as friendships forged at the school gates with many other parents there are also other places to get to know people including the local 17th century thatched pub and the equidistant rugby club (along with Stanacres known in our house as the “magic triangle”). You will meet people there from all walks of life and in our experience you can easily be asked to join a golf society, shooting club, squash club, lunch club, walking group or just go for coffee and a chat at one of the local cafes.” Are there favourite local spots, cafés, pubs, restaurants, walks, hidden gems etc that really capture the spirit of living here? “Very close by there are three pubs (all of which serve a great Sunday roast), a couple of cafes, a hotel with gym, wellness and beauty, various restaurants, a livery and equestrian centre, two shoots, numerous walks across countryside that it’s hard to believe is so close to suburbia and easy access to many bars and restaurants in Heswall or Parkgate.” What do you think the next owners will fall in love with most? “The next owners are likely to have an historic interest (if the walls of Stanacres could talk there must be so many stories to tell), perhaps an appreciation of architecture, an enjoyment of the seclusion and wildlife, maybe an interest in equestrian or country pursuits or maybe just the fact that it’s definitely different and special.” Who do you imagine would feel most at home here? “Stanacres will appeal to people for a range of possible reasons but at the end of the day it makes a fabulous family home.” As you prepare to move on, what will you miss most and what will you take with you in your memories? “One of the things we will miss most is stepping outside the front door and seeing no other houses, only countryside. That said, as our sons (supposedly) reach adulthood and move away, it is time for us to move on from a special place that has been part of a wonderful phase in our lives and allow Stanacres to give to someone else what it has given to us.” Additional Information  Services: Mains electricity and water.

An elegant country residence situated close to the coastal town of Barmouth, with its own woodland paths extending to the meadow side of the Mawddach estuary benefiting from open views far and beyond to the Cader Idris mountain range. Originally dating from 1756 and extended during the Victorian era in 1884, this enchanting Grade II Listed country estate is a place where history and nature exist in perfect harmony. The impressive grade II listed property has been lovingly renovated retaining many of the original features such as exposed oak beams, ornate fireplaces, slate flooring.. The lounge and dining room both feature finely carved fireplaces housing wood-burning stoves, while reception room two boasts a further stove set within a magnificent inglenook fireplace, beautifully complementing the property’s wealth of original features and enhancing its exceptional period character. Tyn y Coed is an extensive 5-bedroom versatile accommodation arranged over three floors which would lend itself to either a large extended family, generational living or potential B&B. Tyn y Coed is currently arranged as a five-bedroom residence but offers excellent potential to be reconfigured to provide seven or eight bedrooms. Outside and Grounds The gardens and grounds are every bit as captivating as the house itself. Extending to approximately 15 acres, with no public access, and they include mature woodland, rolling pasture, cottage gardens, enclosed kitchen garden, two ponds, streams and productive meadowland. Private woodland paths invite peaceful walks before opening onto breathtaking views across the Mawddach Estuary towards the iconic Cadair Idris mountain range. A beautiful boardwalk leads through part of the SSSI area to access a raised platform with its own magnificent views of the estuary and mountain range. Carefully managed to encourage wildlife and biodiversity, the grounds provide a haven for birds, butterflies and native flora. There is also an extensive garden vegetable area with a range of fruit trees which sit along the boundary of the field/meadow land. Together with stone barns which include listed stables, which could be ideal for equestrian use. The barns have potential for conversion, subject to necessary permissions - the larger stone barn, which is currently used for wood storage did have planning permission granted in 1988 which has lapsed. A rare opportunity not to be missed, Tyn y Coed is a truly unique and exceptional country residence, offering an extraordinary combination of history, character and natural beauty.

Some homes impress because of their size. Others because of where they are. This exceptional residence offers both. Set on a gated development, one of Blundellsands’ most prestigious and rarely available addresses, this exceptional five bedroom detached residence occupies a generous plot and has beautifully landscaped south facing rear gardens, offering an outstanding blend of privacy, security and elegant family living. The property features beautifully proportioned reception rooms, a luxurious open plan kitchen, dining and family room, impressive bedroom suites, a home office, double garage, extensive driveway parking and exciting future potential, all within walking distance of the beach, excellent schools, West Lancashire Golf Club, Hall Road railway station and a superb selection of local amenities. Combining timeless quality with an exceptional coastal lifestyle, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a fine family home. Behind the Gates of One of Blundellsands’ Finest Addresses Hidden away behind private electric gates and approached via an exclusive cul de sac, this exceptional detached residence occupies one of the most coveted positions in Blundellsands. Set within approximately a quarter of an acre of beautifully landscaped south facing gardens, the property effortlessly combines privacy, security and timeless elegance, creating a home perfectly suited to modern family life. Built by the renowned Crosby Homes, a developer synonymous with quality throughout the North West, the property was selected by the current owner before construction had even begun. Drawn by the prestige of the development, the exclusivity of its setting and the opportunity to secure what was considered the finest plot, it has remained an immensely cherished family home for almost three decades. A Home That Evolves with Family Life Stepping through the front door, the substantial reception hall immediately establishes a sense of scale, quality and understated luxury. The beautifully balanced accommodation has been designed to adapt effortlessly to every stage of life. Elegant reception rooms provide the perfect backdrop for entertaining, quiet evenings or family celebrations, while a dedicated study creates an ideal environment for home working. The triple aspect living room is particularly impressive, bathed in natural light throughout the day and opening directly onto the gardens through French doors, allowing indoor and outdoor living to blend seamlessly. Yet, as with so many truly exceptional homes, it is the kitchen where everyday life naturally unfolds. The Heart of the Home Generously proportioned and beautifully appointed, the open plan kitchen, dining and family room has been designed for living rather than simply cooking. Whether it’s breakfast before school, Sunday lunch with generations gathered around the table or friends lingering long into the evening, this is a space that effortlessly brings people together. A substantial central island, quality integrated appliances and comfortable seating areas create a room that feels both sophisticated and wonderfully welcoming. Beyond, the conservatory enjoys uninterrupted views across the south facing rear garden and becomes a peaceful retreat throughout the seasons. In summer, doors open to terraces bathed in sunshine until late into the evening. During winter, the family room becomes wonderfully cosy beside the fire. A separate utility room provides practical everyday convenience while offering direct access to the integral double garage. Beautifully Proportioned Accommodation The first floor offers five generous bedrooms, thoughtfully arranged to provide outstanding flexibility for growing families, guests or multi functional living. The principal suite is a calm and luxurious sanctuary, complemented by a beautifully refitted contemporary ensuite. A second bedroom also benefits from its own ensuite facilities, while the remaining bedrooms are served by an elegant family bathroom finished to an exceptional standard. Above, a substantial loft provides extensive storage and exciting potential for future conversion, allowing the home to evolve alongside changing family requirements. A Garden Designed for Living Outside, the property becomes something altogether more special. Lovingly landscaped from the very beginning, the mature south facing gardens offer remarkable privacy, with expansive lawns, ornamental planting, established borders, tranquil water features and numerous seating terraces following the sun throughout the day. It is easy to understand why so many of life’s most memorable occasions have taken place here. Summer celebrations, milestone anniversaries, Christmases with children and grandchildren, and peaceful evenings overlooking the pond have all become treasured chapters in the home’s story. Despite its generous proportions, the overwhelming feeling is one of tranquillity. Sheltered from surrounding roads and not overlooked, birdsong often replaces the sounds of everyday life. An extensive driveway provides parking for six to eight vehicles and leads to the integral double garage, completing the practicality expected of a home of this calibre. Coastal Living, City Convenience Few locations successfully combine peace, privacy and accessibility quite like Blundellsands. From the property, Hall Road railway station is just a short walk away, offering direct services into Liverpool and Southport in around twenty minutes. Crosby Beach, famous for Antony Gormley’s iconic, “Another Place” sculptures, lies within easy reach, while coastal walks stretch for miles in both directions. Waterloo’s vibrant restaurants, cafés and wine bars are only a few minutes away, with Crosby Village providing an excellent range of shopping and everyday amenities. Outstanding schools and excellent transport connections complete a lifestyle that continues to attract discerning buyers from across the region and further afield. A Rare Opportunity Some homes are admired for their size, others for their location. Very few successfully combine exceptional space, complete privacy, beautifully landscaped south-facing gardens and one of the finest addresses in Blundellsands. For the current owner, this has been a home filled with laughter, family milestones and treasured memories spanning almost three decades. It is only the desire to be closer to family that prompts this heartfelt move. For its next owners, it offers something far more valuable than bricks and mortar. It offers the opportunity to become part of a home with an extraordinary past, while creating memories that will last for generations to come. Vendor Insight – Camber, 2 Briarwood When did you first find this home, what first drew you to it, and what was it that instantly captured your heart? “My previous home was about half a mile away and I saw building work commencing within a very private and exclusive area of Blundellsands. The builder “Crosby Homes” were renowned for the building of quality homes in the north west.” Can you recall the moment you knew it was “the one”? “We were the first to make an enquiry and the agent selling the 5 houses within the development came to my home with the plans and we had the opportunity of having the choice of what we considered to be the best of the houses on offer.” Following those first impressions, how has your connection deepened over time, things like the architecture, the setting, the atmosphere and experiences? “The setting was everything we had hoped for, a gated property with a private road leading to the houses. The security and privacy were such that two of the original occupants were high profile Liverpool footballers. At the time it was considered to be the most prestigious development in the area. During those early years it attracted a lot of attention. It has since settled to being much more tranquil.” How would you describe the feeling of arriving home, whether at the end of a busy day, after a weekend trip or simply just a few hours away? “An escape back into a private and peaceful environment well away from main roads and surrounding noise. Most sound coming from the birds or the occasional gardener.” Tell us a little about the home’s history. Have you made any changes or additions that you feel have enhanced its character or functionality? “The main structure of the house is as it was when built 27 years ago. The main feature of the property that was added at the outset was the landscaping of both front and rear gardens to a high standard.” Is there a particular feature or detail that holds special meaning for you? “Not really, the ability to walk around the house and find a different ambience in each room remains a particular quality of being here.” Which spaces do you find yourself gravitating to most, and why? “We always lived mainly in the kitchen, where there is plenty of space to move around and do different things; eat meals, watch TV, entertain, and also to move in and out of the conservatory depending on the weather, time of day and time of year.” How does your home make day to day living feel special? Whether it’s morning light in the kitchen, cosy evenings by the fire, or garden views that never get old? “All day sun at the rear together with the ability to have complete privacy mean that it is possible to sunbathe in whatever style of costume you wish. In winter the kitchen/family room area can be cosy in front of the fire, and the main lounge and dining room provides for a larger gathering particularly during the festive season.” What time of year does the property feel most magical, and why? “In the summer months the garden views from the conservatory are stunning, particularly during the later evening.” For families, what do you feel makes this such a wonderful place to raise children? “The space that it offers within a secure setting. By the time we moved in 2 of my daughters had left home and the youngest only stayed for a few years, none of them came back from university. Although we have always had the space to accommodate them and in later years with visits from their families”. How would you describe the local community and the lifestyle on offer? “This area of Blundellsands is a very quiet place, most of the properties in the adjacent area are higher end with a good amount of land that affords their own degree of privacy, so it is possible that you may never get to know your neighbours. It is possible to walk around the immediate roads at any time of day and meet only a few people, if any.” Are there favourite local spots, cafés, pubs, restaurants, walks, hidden gems that really capture the spirit of living here? “The house is 5 minutes’ walk to a train station with an excellent service to both Liverpool and Southport (about 20 minutes each way) or just a few stops to an abundance of restaurants and bars in Waterloo. A further few minutes’ walk will take you to Crosby beach where there are coastal walks in both directions. The “iron men” is a particular tourist attraction. Also, a car journey of 5 minutes will take you to Crosby village with plenty of shopping outlets, bars and restaurants.” Can you share a remarkable or meaningful moment that truly sums up your time in this home? “I can only relate to having the house full at a number of Christmas and New Year gatherings with all the family present with their young children, with friends joining us later in the evening.” What kinds of memories have been created here? Celebrations, milestones, or quiet moments that you’ll always cherish. “Our 50th wedding anniversary with all my family and closest friends, a beautiful sunny August day with a live band in the garden.” What do you think the next owners will fall in love with most? “The peace, seclusion and a south facing garden with great view and complete privacy.” Who do you imagine would feel most at home here? “It is certainly family friendly and offers great deal in terms of a safe local environment with good schools and easy access to local amenities. Equally my wife and I were both on the verge of retirement when we moved here and it achieved everything we were looking for at the time.” As you prepare to move on, what will you miss most and what will you take with you in your memories? “The house is everything we ever aspired to in earlier years and I had never considered that I would ever move from it. It is with a heavy heart that I now feel the need to move closer to my family. I will miss my garden, looking after the fish, and peaceful summer evenings either in the conservatory or outside.” Additional Information  Services: Mains electricity, water, gas and drainage.  Council Tax: H.

Have you made any changes or additions that you feel have enhanced its character or functionality?  “We set about a complete renovation but tried to be sympathetic to the age of the house and to retain original features. It feels very warm and welcoming when returning home. Although it’s large, it still feels homely. It is a victorian villa which has had many incarnations over the years but we wanted to return it to a family home adapted for modern living whilst retaining the period aesthetic and character.”  Which spaces do you find yourself gravitating to most, and why?  “We spend most of our time in the kitchen/living area which is light and airy due to the orangery but with a cosy snug. We like to sit here and watch the birds in the garden. We have the sun on the back of the house all afternoon and in the summer we open the french doors to enjoy the garden. The property feels most magical at Christmas. Spacious rooms and high ceilings mean we can have a large tree and Christmas dinner in the formal dining room feels special.”  For families, what do you feel makes this such a wonderful place to raise children?  “This is a great place to raise children because of the close proximity of local amenities including Victoria Park and Southport Beach. There is also a selection of schools around the Southport area. The grounds of the property are completely enclosed so very safe for young children.”  How would you describe the local community and the lifestyle on offer?  “We are only a 10-15 minute walk into Southport which has a number of shops, supermarkets and some good restaurants. Birkdale village is a similar distance and offers a choice of bars, restaurants and coffee shops.”  What kinds of memories have been created here? Celebrations, milestones, or quiet moments that you’ll always cherish?  “We have created lots of happy memories here but have particularly enjoyed watching our grandson enjoy the space and the swimming pool.”  What do you think the next owners will fall in love with most?  “I think the next owners will enjoy the location of the property. The walled garden and set back from the road position makes it feel very private but it is only minutes from all amenities. I think a family with children would feel most at home here and there is enough room for everyone to have their own space as they get older.”  Additional Information    Services: Mains electricity, gas, drainage and water.  Council Tax: Band H.  Local Authority: Sefton.  Tenure: Leasehold.   Rent: £15.  Broadband: (Information taken from checker.ofcom.org.uk)    Standard – 16 Mpbs (highest available download speed) – 1 Mpbs (highest available upload speed)    Superfast – 65 Mpbs (highest available download speed) –13 Mpbs (highest available upload speed)    Mobile coverage: Good Outdoor, Variable In-home (Information taken from checker.ofcom.org.uk)    We always recommend you contact your supplier to discuss the availability of broadband and mobile coverage at this property.     Directions: Using the app what3words type in: rests.bring.ship   Referral Fees: Fine & Country sometimes refers vendors and purchasers to providers of conveyancing, financial services, survey & valuations services, currency exchange and staging & styling.

On the other side of the kitchen, a few steps lead down to the family room, where a vast set of floor to ceiling windows and bifold doors frame expansive views of the lush green grounds and garden lake while providing access to the rear garden terrace and circular walled patio - a perfect setup for garden parties and enjoying the summer weather. The oak floor in this room gives a nod to the cottage character, and the stylish fire set within a media wall adds to the modern design. Due to its great size and convenient position next to the kitchen, it's a versatile room with sufficient space for both a lounge area and an informal dining/breakfast area. In addition to the principal lounge and family room, there are two further reception rooms... The grand entrance hall is large enough to be another sitting area, with a log burner that's sure to give a warming glow on cold, wintery days. With an open aspect to the entrance hall, the dining room is another delightful space for dinner parties and entertaining, with more bifold doors that 'bring the outside in' and allow you to appreciate the landscaped grounds year-round. A notable aspect of the interior design in this part of the property is the glass floor that displays the wine cellar below. Bedrooms & Bathrooms - Ascending from the centre of the home between the kitchen and dining room is a bespoke walnut staircase with glass balustrades, handcrafted leather handrail, and a stunning crystal-effect tiled stone feature wall that rises high into the vaulted ceiling. The feature wall is illuminated by subtle uplights set within the floor that complement the 2.3m Italian-crystal chandelier hanging beautifully within the stairwell. From the gallery landing, the end of the corridor opens into the imposing master suite with another vaulted ceiling and designer chandelier that add to the grandeur. Within the bedroom, a set of bifold doors pour natural light into the room and lead to the balcony spanning the width of the property at the rear. A partition wall with designer wallpaper separates the super-king bed from a private dressing area, similar to that of boudoirs found in premium suites of the best hotels, fitted with high quality cabinetry, a dressing table and mirror with inset lighting. The opulence continues in the large walk-in wardrobe featuring elegant, mirrored wardrobes, drawers, an island and shelving. Above here is a fabulous mezzanine master bathroom which is fully tiled with white marble and comprises a four-piece suite, including a tiled-in steam shower with marble seating, bath with marble surrounds, WC, and vanity basin with storage. Each of the three further bedrooms have their own en-suites and are well-proportioned for family life, benefitting from being good sized doubles so the whole family can enjoy oodles of space. The professional interior design is evident in the en-suites too, with polished marble tiling to the floor and walls, and substantial walk-in showers with glass facades. The second bedroom also benefits from bifold doors opening onto the rear balcony, and the third bedroom features a walk-through dressing passage with bronze-tinted, mirrored fitted wardrobes. Outbuildings & Outside Space - An advantage of this already spectacular home is the versatile two-storey outbuilding, composed of the double garage with electric door which is accessed from the driveway, and below is a huge room that's currently configured as a fully equipped gym. The gym is incredibly private despite its wealth of floor to ceiling windows overlooking the natural garden lake, and glass doors open onto a lakeside terrace with swim spa and hot tub (available by separate negotiation). If not used as a gym, this versatile space could suit a variety of uses, subject to regulations. A games room with snooker table and bar? Self-contained annex accommodation for family? Or perhaps separated as an Airbnb for extra income? The choice is yours! Hidden behind this outbuilding is a large log store. As well as the waterfall flowing into the garden lake, a trickling brook flows down the side of the boundary, providing a calming countryside sound to be enjoyed while you're relaxing outside on warm summer days. Beyond the terrace and circular walled patio outside the family room, the grounds continue far beyond the water over a grassy area bordered by woodland, to a fenced children's play area at the bottom of the garden. It's fair to say this property has it all. Countryside Convenience - Situated on a country lane between several villages in south-west Lancashire, Brook House brings with it the opportunity to enjoy the peace and quiet of countryside living while being well connected for transport links, schools and amenities. Junction 27 of the M6 is accessible in only 5 to 10 minutes, making it an ideal location for those who regularly commute but prefer a more rural lifestyle, while adding to its overall accessibility for everyone. By rail, Buckshaw Parkway and Chorley stations are within a 15 to 20 minute drive, and the smaller but closer station of Parbold is just 10 minutes away, all of which give easy access to the nearby cities of Manchester, Preston, and Liverpool. You can also be in London within 3 hours of leaving the house! Owing to its location between several villages, there's a wide selection of amenities within a short drive too, including country pubs and restaurants, health clubs and spas, mini supermarkets, convenience stores, independent shops and farm shops, as well as a variety of good primary and secondary schools.

Grounds & Outbuildings Overview - Approached via a highly private, gated driveway, the grounds extend to approx. 3 acres and are as captivating as the house itself. Lawns, terraces, patios and walled gardens are thoughtfully arranged to take full advantage of the tranquil valley outlook and leafy green surrounds, while a small wildlife lake, ancient protected woodland and a private bridge crossing the river add a sense of seclusion and connection to nature rarely found. A children’s play area and expansive fenced land further enhance the outdoor offering. Complementing the main residence are extensive outbuildings, including a substantial stable block (currently used as workshops) with fenced surrounds and a small meadow, two additional detached timber workshop or garage-style buildings, and a separate double garage—providing remarkable flexibility for storage, equestrian use, or other lifestyle hobbies. Lifestyle & Character - With historical references dating back to the 1300s, Jolly Mill offers a rare opportunity to acquire a remarkable piece of local heritage. Originally a corn mill, the building has been expertly reimagined to blend its rich industrial past with refined contemporary living. Striking original beams sit beautifully within vaulted ceilings, while extensive glazing floods the generous interiors with natural light, creating a series of bright, airy and highly impressive spaces that celebrate both character and design. Jolly Mill is particularly appealing to those who value space, privacy and a strong connection to the outdoors. From peaceful summer evenings spent on the balconies or terraces, enjoying sweeping valley views, birdsong, and the gentle flow of the river below, to hosting family and friends within the home’s grand yet welcoming entertaining spaces and gardens. Children can explore and play safely within the private grounds, while hobbyists and equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the freedom to spend time with horses or enjoy the workshops at leisure. Quite simply, Jolly Mill offers a way of life that is as rare as it is rewarding. Main Living Space – Top Floor - The fabulous main kitchen enjoys views through bifold doors onto the balcony and over the landscaped gardens. Its central island with bar seating allows it to be both a practical and highly sociable space where cooking and family time blend together as one. Vast granite worktops afford ample preparation space and the sleek two-tone cabinetry with larder cupboards give a modern appeal while providing plenty of storage space. Integrated appliances include four ovens, a four-zone hob with extractor, dishwasher, full length fridge and freezer, Blanco multi-tap and sink. Benefitting from an open aspect flow from the kitchen, the dining room features unique interior windows reaching high into the room which further highlight the impressive, vaulted ceilings. A log burner in the corner of the room adds a cosy touch for the colder winter months, and its large size allows ample space for even the largest of families when hosting on special occasions. From the dining room, stroll through a pair of double doors and the huge living room awaits. A range of oak French doors complement the oak floor underfoot and original beams overhead. The six pairs of oak French doors give access to balconies on all sides and tastefully frame different angles of the gorgeous surrounding scenery. A large log burner holds the centre of the space and is sure to emit a warming orange glow when required. Owing to the very generous size of this room, if needed, it could easily be a multi-functional room, adding to the versatile and flexible appeal for modern family life. Bedrooms & Bathrooms – Middle Floor - Head down the bespoke oak staircase to a large hallway connecting the bedrooms and bathrooms. The grand proportions continue on this floor too, most notably in the master bedroom and family bathroom where the rooms are of palatial scale. The master bedroom enjoys a private terrace, uninterrupted scenic views, and a substantial walk-in wardrobe. The three other bedrooms are all very generous doubles too, and all are presented in immaculate condition in keeping with the contemporary style of the home – the second is complete with a three-piece shower en-suite and the third with another walk-in wardrobe. Within the extremely spacious family bathroom is a comprehensive suite, including a freestanding bath set on an elevated tiled platform, an open aspect shower with tiled surrounds, WC, a large his and hers vanity basin unit with lots of integral storage, and a chrome, feature towel radiator. As well as the bedrooms and bathrooms on this middle floor, the floor below offers scope for two additional bedrooms if desired... Working, Entertainment & Leisure – Lower Floor - The lower level has been thoughtfully designed as a dedicated lifestyle and entertaining floor, offering exceptional versatility and seamless connection to the gardens. At its heart sits a contemporary, fully integrated premium kitchen with a central island, ideal for hosting, informal gatherings or summer entertaining. Bifold doors open directly onto the garden, allowing indoor and outdoor living to flow effortlessly and making this level perfectly suited to family celebrations, social occasions or relaxed weekends at home. Complementing the kitchen is an impressive garden room, flooded with natural light and opening to the outdoors via two sets of bifold doors, creating a striking space for dining, relaxing or entertaining year-round. A generous games room provides an ideal setting for leisure and recreation, while the library or hobby room—enhanced by French doors to the garden—offers a quieter retreat for reading, creativity or personal pursuits. Completing this level is a versatile snug or studio, equally well suited as a substantial home office, ensuring the property caters effortlessly to modern working patterns while preserving a clear distinction between work, relaxation and family life. The lower floor also offers excellent scope for further bedroom and bathroom accommodation if desired, and would also be suitable for use as a self-contained annex, allowing multi-generational living. What are now the library/hobby room and office/studio could easily be configured for use as bedrooms. The office/studio also previously had a WC which was removed, but could be reinstalled if using this lower floor for bedroom and bathroom accommodation. Outdoor Space - Occupying an exceptional plot of approximately three acres, Jolly Mill enjoys a truly special natural setting that elevates it well beyond the ordinary. The land unfolds beautifully from the moment of arrival, with a long, private gated driveway setting the tone for the privacy and the sense of your own secluded retreat. The house sits comfortably within its large grounds, positioned to take full advantage of the outlook across the green valley and river below, creating a feeling of space and immersion in nature. The gardens themselves are both expansive and thoughtfully arranged, offering a variety of distinct areas suited to relaxation, entertaining and family life. Formal lawns, walled garden sections, balconies, terraces and patios provide ideal spaces for outdoor dining, socialising or simply enjoying the changing seasons. A wildlife lake adds a further point of interest and tranquillity, while ancient woodland creates a natural backdrop and encourages an abundance of wildlife. The gentle sound of the river, accessed via a private bridge, enhances the sense of calm and connection to the landscape. For families and lifestyle-led buyers, the outdoor space offers exceptional versatility. A dedicated children’s play area provides a safe and adventurous environment, while a fenced area and private meadow adjacent to the stables lend themselves perfectly to equestrian use, growing your own fruits and veggies, or further landscaping. The workshops and garaging support a wide range of pursuits, from leisure and recreation to practical and creative interests.

This is genuinely a high quality property for those that value time spent at home with family and would relish the opportunity to entertain at home in style. Vendor Insight It’s a great house for a family. There’s room for everyone to spread out but still be under one roof. We included a lot of attributes to keep everyone occupied and entertained, whether it’s just the family or when we’ve friends round. We’ve had pool tournaments and tennis parties, the media room is great for movie nights. The televisions are all purposefully away from the central living area so that they don’t dominate how we spend our time. Location Central to the community, the Lancashire village of Catforth has a school and hall which hosts a variety of classes, social events and drop in coffee mornings. For everyday essentials, there are local shops at Great Eccleston and Elswick. Whilst all different, the cities of Preston, Lancaster, Manchester and Liverpool between them offer a full range of commercial and recreational facilities including a vast choice of restaurants and great shopping. Culturally, there is a choice of theatres, cinemas and established arts and music scenes with festivals and events throughout the year. If you prefer somewhere smaller then the attractive towns of Garstang and Lytham are also convenient with supermarkets, thriving independent shops and a variety of places to enjoy a drink or bite to eat. The best of both worlds, rural but not remote, there’s nearby access to the M55 and M6 as well as a train station on the West Coast Main line at Preston ensuring that whether you need to travel for business or pleasure you remain well connected. If accessing the great outdoors is important to you then the protected National Landscape (formerly the AONB) of the Forest of Bowland offers many opportunities for outdoor adventure with an extensive network of lanes, footpaths and bridle paths for walking, running and cycling. There’s also good access to the Fylde coast’s exceptionally varied coastline; everything from wide sandy beaches, saltmarshes and nature reserves to bright lights of Blackpool; the tower, pleasure beach, piers and zoo amongst the many famous attractions. Vendor Insight The location is quiet as few people have the need to pass by, set behind the hedges, we have great privacy which we have valued and enjoyed enormously. Whilst rural, we never feel disconnected. With the new M55 links we are on the motorway in a matter of minutes, soon on the M6 and quickly into Preston. We’ve had to travel for work, often by train. Preston station is easy to reach and from there the journey time to London is just over two hours. Setting the scene Immediately the quality of bespoke craftsmanship is unmistakable. The aesthetic is one of contemporary country living; comfortable, quietly understated luxury, family friendly sociable spaces where quality of life is paramount. The specification features extensive use of oak throughout the house, including made-to-measure paneled doors, elegant custom-made staircases, double glazed window frames and French doors, Ted Todd engineered oak flooring, deep skirting boards with complementary architraves and window cills and exposed beams and roof trusses.

The main kitchen is classically styled with timeless hand-painted cabinets from Simpsons of Greenfield Mill, Colne and the sanitaryware is high quality Duravit with Hansgrohe shower fittings. Although new build, certain elements of construction such as the flags and bricks were repurposed from heritage properties to give an appearance older than its years. The grand tour At the heart of the home is a spectacular open-plan living kitchen, where light floods in from all angles thanks to extensive floor to ceiling glazing. Beautifully appointed with handcrafted cabinets including a working island unit, breakfast bar and a concealed breakfast station and bar along with high specification appliances, this is a space made for modern family life - equally suited to quiet mornings, lively family meals or entertaining guests. Cook, dine and relax in comfort, with four sets of French doors opening directly onto the garden, the lines between inside and out become blurred. Double oak doors lead into a separate sitting room with a Contura wood-burning stove - a warm and inviting retreat, which can be opened to extend the living space or closed off for cosy evenings. Designed with both family life and working from home in mind, the house offers five bedrooms, four of which are located on the first floor, all having luxurious ensuites and two with walk-in wardrobes. Conveniently located on the ground floor is the fifth bedroom and a dedicated home office with oak fitted furniture, offering flexibility for multi-generational living or professional use. This is a home built not just for everyday living, but for truly enjoying time spent at home. The amenity provision is superb, the highlight being an impressive games room with its own kitchen, space to dine and soft seating gathered around the wood burner and large screen - a wonderful space for a get together. The basement floor offers something for everyone; a media room for watching a film or big match, a pool room with drinks station, gym, shower room, large walk-in wardrobe and a second home office or hobbies room. Smart home technology adds a layer of modern convenience and control, seamlessly integrated to enhance daily living. The plethora of storage provision is also a great asset, from boot room to pantry, linen store to walk in wardrobes, there’s plenty of space for all of life’s needs. The interior is strongly connected with the gardens, multiple sets of French doors and wide expanses of floor to ceiling glazing provide both an idyllic outlook and immediate access to the beautifully landscaped surrounds. Spacious, light-filled and filled with a stylish modern rustic aesthetic, Moss Cottage Farm is a truly rare find; a home that combines the warmth and the solidity of traditional rural architecture with every comfort and convenience for modern family life and entertaining at home. Vendor Insight The games room was designed to have the option to be an independent self-contained annex. There’s a separate access to the back parking area, a shower room and kitchen; we’d thought the living area could be subdivided to create a bedroom and had envisaged the space possibly for parents, bounce back teenagers or as a guest suite set apart from the family bedrooms. Step outside Outside, there are further options for year round entertainment and activity with a full size hardcourt tennis court (resurfaced in 2020), a hot tub and tucked behind a high hedge a barbecue hut. Inspired by the Scandinavian ‘grillkota’, this circular hut has inward-facing fitted bench seating around a central hearth, as well as an extension for freestanding furniture or sleepovers. It’s a warm and welcoming way of gathering, cooking dinner and enjoying together time around the fire. Flagged seating terraces wrap around the house and provide various opportunities for outdoor relaxation. Outside the games room is a large stone topped table ready for your own chairs or handy as a serving table. The terraces are of varying orientation being designed to catch the sun at different times of the day, creating spots for breakfast and morning coffee, long leisurely lunches and evening gatherings. The terracing provides the link between home and garden, all enjoying wonderful privacy. Clad in Virgina Creeper, a large wooden outbuilding has double doors, power and light. It is ideal as a workshop, a store for garden equipment, ride on mower or perhaps a smaller vehicle as there is narrow vehicular access via a grassed drive lined with willow trees.

Its interior style now offers an exciting opportunity for sympathetic modernisation - allowing the next owner to blend timeless elegance with contemporary finishes in a rare setting. It's a perfect long-term family home - where generations can grow, entertain, and enjoy an exceptional quality of life in total privacy. Rich In Character - The home's original detailing gives it an undeniable sense of grandeur. From handcrafted hardwood joinery to elegant wall panelling, intricate coving, ceiling roses and decorative plasterwork, every room radiates historic charm. Towering ceilings, oversized windows (with many incorporating leaded detailing), and grand proportions throughout create a palatial feel that is both impressive and beautiful. It is a home that balances grandeur with warmth, ideal for those who appreciate craftsmanship and character. It is place where family memories are made against a backdrop of architectural beauty and timeless design. Reception Rooms - With three expansive reception rooms - all similarly proportioned - the layout and circular flow caters perfectly to both everyday family life and entertaining. The focal point on entering the property is the imposing reception/library with its stone fireplace and beautifully carved oak staircase. This leads to the dining room, featuring a large marble fireplace, which sets the scene for memorable gatherings on special occasions with family and friends. The bright main lounge, with double French doors and surrounding windows that open directly onto the scenic rear patio, is a perfect day or evening lounge where you can sink into the sofa, unwind with loved ones, and enjoy the summer breeze drifting through from the open doors onto the garden. Whether it's hosting festivities, enjoying a quiet Sunday in, or letting the kids sprawl out for movie night, the living space at Lostock Dene adapts with ease to every chapter of modern family life. Kitchen, Breakfast Room & Utility - The kitchen and breakfast room form the sociable heart of the home - a generous and functional space for daily life, with ample room for casual dining and morning routines. The kitchen itself is extremely spacious with a wraparound island and a comprehensive range of fully integrated appliances. The adjoining utility room adds further practicality, providing either a second kitchen, or extra space for laundry and household storage. This has a separate external access point, which is ideal for busy family living or muddy boots after countryside walks. This setup offers real flexibility for growing families - a space that supports everything from school morning schedules to relaxed weekend lunches. Practical Aspects - A very large, dedicated, fully fitted home office/study at the rear provides an ideal space for remote work or focused quiet time. The converted basement includes five separate rooms offering a wealth of options - whether for storage, hobbies, a home gym, a playroom, or even fitting out as a cinema snug - there's flexibility here to tailor to your lifestyle.
