Contact us today and step into a world of elegance, comfort, and endless possibilities. Seller Insight How long have you owned the property?  “3 and a half wonderful years.”What attracted you to this specific house and location?  “We fell in love with the house, with its mix of historical character and charm with more modern living spaces for comfortable family living. 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.

There are houses at this price. And then there are opportunities.Elmwood is the latter. A masterfully restored 1930s residence behind private electric gates on the edge of Eccleston Village. 3,033 sq ft of exceptional craftsmanship across the main house and a fully self-contained detached annexe, set on 0.35 acres of south-facing grounds. All of it overlooking the permanent green expanse of the Duke of Westminster's Eaton Estate, a view that will never be built out.For a buyer who simply wants a magnificent family home rich in period features, Elmwood delivers without question. But for a buyer who also wants their money to work, this is rare. The detached annexe, finished to the same exacting standard as the main house, functions seamlessly as a luxury holiday let in one of England's most visited cathedral cities, a long-term rental, or a home for family that feels like a home rather than an afterthought. Reviewing Air BnB and Sykes Cottages at current Chester-area short-stay rates, a conservatively run holiday let of this calibre could potentially offer a considered return, a meaningful offset against ownership costs from day one.The 0.35-acre plot warrants attention in its own right. Gated, private, and south-facing — land of this scale and quality, with countryside views, this close to Chester, at this price, does not come along often.Behind the handsome red-brick façade, the restoration is the work of artisans rather than developers. Hand-rolled plaster ceilings with intricate bird's-beak detailing, crafted by an award-winning craftsman. Original herringbone parquet throughout. Restored cast-iron fireplaces in every principal room. A bespoke kitchen built around a four-oven Aga, framed by 18th-century botanical tiles sourced from Natural History Museum plates. Every room carries the quiet confidence of work done properly, by people who cared.Chain free and ready to occupy. Elmwood does not need you to imagine what it could be, it already is.The Main House Entrance & Ground FloorA wide entrance hall sets the tone immediately: original herringbone parquet underfoot, high ceilings, and a generous cloakroom with coat and boot storage neatly integrated beneath the stairs. A dedicated utility room — plumbed for washing machine with dryer space — keeps the practical invisible.Two reception rooms flank the hall, each with deep bay windows, hand-crafted fireplaces with log burners, and those remarkable curved plaster ceilings, period features rarely found at this level of preservation. Light pours in. The proportions feel generous without being cavernous.The kitchen is the heart of the home, a bespoke country-house design built around a four-oven Aga, opening into a conservatory that draws the garden in and floods the space with natural light. On a clear day, the rural views across open countryside make this one of the finest spots in the house to simply sit.First FloorUpstairs, four bedrooms are arranged around a generous landing. The principal suite overlooks the Eaton Estate through a Juliet balcony, complete with a dressing room and a luxurious en suite bathroom, an oasis of calm with outstanding countryside views. A second generous double bedroom and two further bedrooms, one currently fitted as a handcrafted library, equally suited as a nursery or home office, served by an equally well-appointed family bathroom with en-suite quality finishes.The Annexe — 1,308 sq ft Detached Fully Self-ContainedDiscreetly positioned but fully independent, the detached annexe is architecturally cohesive with the main house and finished to the same exacting standard. Whether used for multi-generational living, as a holiday let, a long-term rental, or a professional home office and studio, it offers genuine flexibility without compromise.On the ground floor: a private sitting room with log burner overlooking the rear garden, a well-equipped kitchen, a dedicated office and workspace, and a detached double garage with electric doors and ceramic-tiled floor — with adjoining side store. Above, a spacious en suite bedroom provides complete autonomy for guests, extended family, or tenants.As a holiday let, the annexe represents a compelling income opportunity. Chester draws millions of visitors annually for its races, cathedral, Roman heritage, and the Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa is on the doorstep. Rental income from a well-presented annex or annexe of this specification in this location can realistically offset a significant portion of annual ownership costs.The Gardens & GroundsApproached through electric gates onto a sweeping private drive with parking for eight vehicles plus a detached double garage, Elmwood's south-facing grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped to follow the sun across the day. A Gabriel Ash greenhouse, a separate workshop ideal for hobbies or additional storage, and a summerhouse — perfect for evening drinks with those uninterrupted countryside views over the Eaton Estate — complete the picture. Seclusion and substance in equal measure.LocationEccleston sits in a semi-rural pocket of Cheshire that is increasingly difficult to find: genuinely peaceful, with walking access to the River Dee, the Grosvenor Garden Centre, and the Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa, yet with the connectivity of a city suburb.Chester city centre is 3.5 miles.
