SELLER INSIGHT How long have you owned the property? “We bought the property in 2015 as a ruin and spent four years having the house built. We have lived in the house for five years.” What attracted you to this specific house and location? “We were looking for a house close to the seaside and after about six months of searching, with no success, we decided to look for a piece of land instead. Plas Yr Eifl popped up right away. It had just gone on the market. This was a Saturday. We drove up the next day to have a look. We were both so stunned by the unbelievable beauty of the location that we said ‘this is it’ immediately. We put in the offer on Monday which was accepted.” What can you tell us about the history of the property and how it has been adapted since you’ve owned it? “The original Plas Yr Eifl was built around the turn of the last century. It belonged to the quarry master of the Yr Eifl granite quarry which was established in 1850. He evidently chose the most attractive location possible for siting his home. The quarry closed in 1963. After that the building became a hotel and later a family residence. In 2005 the Plas burned to the ground. The fire was so severe that even the stone lintels were cracked, making restoration impractical. It had been standing as a ruin until we bought it in 2015 and we were able to secure planning approval for a new build house on the site while reusing the beautiful local granite facing for the new house.” What is your favourite room and why? “All the rooms have beautiful views, so it is difficult to pick a favourite. S loves looking out toward Mount Snowdon when she is busy in the kitchen, particularly as the sun is rising behind it. R loves the view to the Yr Eifl mountains when he is sitting at the dining table. Every day the massive walls of the Tre’r Ceiri Iron Age hill fort and the sheer cliffs below are illuminated in a different way. Watching the South Stack lighthouse at the westernmost tip of Anglesey f lash every 10 seconds is a very peaceful way to end the day while sitting in front of the fire in the lounge.” What do you love about the house the most now? “Since, together with our architect, we had the house built to our specifications, we love it full stop. First and foremost is the way the architect made sure to take advantage of the views from every window. We love the large rooms, high ceilings and the huge granite island. There is both a breakfast balcony overlooking Snowdonia and the Caernarfon Bay seaside to the northeast and a sunset balcony overlooking the Irish Sea to the northwest. The house is warm, secure and energy efficient.” What you’ll miss the most? “In two words, ‘the setting’. Having lived in six different countries around the world, we’ve never experienced anything like this. Nothing has even come close. There are obviously the amazing views that you can enjoy from every window and in every direction. But there is also the proximity of this beautiful environment to immerse yourself in. A favourite morning walk follows the Wales Coast path from just outside our property gate down to the local beach and harbour, along the cliffs of the Trefor headland, passing the impressive Trefor stacks, with their seabird colonies and with regular views of seals on the rocks and schools of dolphins and porpoises feasting on the local mackerel and seabass.” What do you love about the local community? “We have fantastic neighbours. They are always willing to lend a hand if necessary, but we all respect each other’s privacy as well. The community in general is welcoming and friendly.” Additional Information Services: Mains water and electricity. Private drainage. Air source heat pump underfloor heating.

An Abundance Of Living Space - There are two entrances to the property at the front, one being the main front door, which is ideal for guests, leading through a traditional porch and into the grand entrance hall, and the other being a more practical, daily entrance to the meet the demands of modern family life, leading through the boot room, past the downstairs WC, and into the kitchen. The principal lounge is super generous in size, spanning the full depth of the property. It's no surprise it is presented to impeccable standards, with a hidden home cinema system including integrated ceiling speakers, and an Epson projector and Sapphire screen that descend from the ceiling. Draw the black-out curtains with a touch of a button on the remote, and you have the complete big screen experience from the comfort of your own home. As well as the home cinema, a set of bifold doors makes the most of the views to the garden, and the chimney breast is home to a log burner and wall-mounted TV point. The heart of the home is arguably the top of the range Siematic kitchen, grounded by a smart limestone floor. A substantial island with Corian worktop and oak breakfast bar allows the room to be a superb social space, and the comprehensive range of high quality appliances are housed within contemporary two-tone cabinetry. Integrated cooking appliances include a Miele oven, steam oven, combination microwave, and two warming drawers, plus a Siemens induction hob and downdraft extractor. There's also a full length fridge and freezer, Miele wine cooler, Siemens dishwasher, and Caple sink with Quooker tap. Off the kitchen the spacious Siematic utility room ensures you can keep the kitchen tidy and clutter-free with additional storage cupboards and worktop space, an extra Caple sink, and plenty of room to do the laundry with plumbing for the washer/dryer. Adjacent to here is also a study with a window to the front, which would alternatively be well suited for use as a play room for the little ones. 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. Specifics & Services - The tax band is G. The tenure is freehold. The smart-home automation brand is Control4. The water and drainage are connected mains.

DESCRIPTION Wicksted Hall is an exceptional Arts & Crafts country house occupying a private and elevated position within the rolling countryside of South Cheshire. Commissioned by Lieutenant Herbert Wicksted Ethelston and constructed between 1903 and 1906, the Hall was conceived as the principal residence of a private country estate and today remains one of the county's most distinctive examples of Arts & Crafts architecture. Built during the final years of the Edwardian era, the house displays many of the characteristics associated with the movement, including stone mullioned windows, decorative brickwork, green oak detailing and finely crafted architectural features. Extending to approximately 13,734 sq ft, the accommodation offers impressive scale and flexibility, with elegant reception rooms, substantial bedroom accommodation and a significant leisure wing. Approached through private gates and sweeping driveways, the Hall enjoys complete privacy within approximately 10.4 acres of established gardens, paddocks and grounds. Features include a Victorian walled kitchen garden, original glasshouses, mature trees, secondary estate access and a collection of historic outbuildings, all contributing to the atmosphere of a traditional English country house. The elevated position affords far-reaching views across the Cheshire and Shropshire countryside, whilst excellent communications place London within convenient reach via Crewe Station, where services to London Euston take approximately 90 minutes. Wicksted Hall is offered independently and represents a rare opportunity to acquire a significant Arts & Crafts country house.

It's a room made for hosting on a grand scale or unwinding in total comfort. Next door, the media room offers another luxurious lounge experience, with floor-to-ceiling windows by day and a full cinema set-up by night - blackout blinds, projector screen, and surround sound at the touch of a button. It's ideal as a cinema, games room or teenage retreat. On the opposite side of the reception hall, the formal dining room enjoys an abundance of natural light, with French doors opening onto a covered al-fresco dining terrace.

Accessed via a covered walkway from the house and also from the first floor via a spiral staircase, it's a true private spa experience. A home gym links the gallery landing to the pool hall - equally suited to yoga or conversion into a wellness suite or sauna.

A Control4 smart home system allows you to manage lighting, heating, and audio from your phone, delivering comfort and convenience with every touch.
