Wood Lane, Parkgate, Neston

An exceptional detached family home, built in 1936, which has undergone a complete overhaul while retaining many stunning original features. Set on a 1.21-acre plot, the property offers accommodation spanning 5,139 sq ft, with views over the Dee Estuary to Wales. This house is truly one of a kind.

Accessed through a private gate, a long, tree-lined driveway hugs the right boundary of the plot and leads to the front of the house, where the grandeur of this property becomes immediately apparent. Upon entering, you are greeted by an open and inviting entrance hall that flows into the family living room, which boasts sensational views towards Wales, the River Dee and out to the Irish Sea - the first of many remarkable features of this home.

To the left of the hallway, a beautifully Neptune designed kitchen and dining room await. The space is centred around a large island and features an AGA, a range of integrated appliances, a pantry, and access to a charming patio area. A dual-aspect open fire separates the kitchen from the 16 seater dining area, which is bathed in natural light courtesy of a large lantern. Sliding doors provide seamless access to the rear garden, while a cosy living area with an open fire completes the heart of the home, offering a perfect space for family gatherings and relaxed living.

Further down the hallway, you will find a second sitting room, a study with a log burner, a cloakroom, butler’s pantry, utility and laundry room, and a well-equipped gym. Internal access to the large double garage adds further convenience to this well-thought-out layout.

Upstairs, the master suite is a true retreat, featuring a bay window that overlooks the south-facing garden and Dee Estuary, a brand new ensuite shower room, and a walk-in wardrobe. A further four double bedrooms are positioned across the rear of the house, each enjoying breathtaking views and a sunny aspect. Two additional double bedrooms are found on the first floor, both of which can be accessed via a second staircase, which was previously used by the servants. The family bathroom is contemporary and beautifully finished, while a second four-piece family bathroom is centrally located to provide easy access from all the bedrooms without ensuites. Many of the bedrooms are fitted with built-in wardrobes, and a large 2,500sq ft loft space offers further potential to create additional living accommodation.

The extensive gardens are a standout feature, with the rear garden enjoying a south-west facing position, perfect for basking in the afternoon sun and breathtaking year round sunsets. To the front of the house, there is ample parking for multiple vehicles, an orchard, and a large shed ideal for storing garden tools and equipment.

Planning permission was granted in 2021 for the construction of a swimming pool and orangery / pool house, as well as an extension to the garage (allowing for 6 cars) and a new vehicular access and gates onto Boat House Lane. The total square footage will be 7,055 sq ft following completion of the various extensions. This gives the property even further potential for those wishing to enhance the already impressive facilities.

This top-tier renovation blends tradition and modernity, on one of the finest estuary facing plots on the Wirral, creating a truly exceptional home. It must be seen to be fully appreciated. Contact the Heswall Karl Tatler Team today to arrange your viewing.
