We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A rare and highly exciting opportunity to acquire a detached character home occupying a generous private plot in one of Lower Heswall’s most prestigious and sought-after residential settings.
Set within the desirable Farr Hall Drive, this property offers a compelling opportunity for a buyer seeking to create a substantial bespoke family residence in a location where quality homes, privacy and long-term potential are always in high demand.
The existing three bedroom detached house now requires a programme of refurbishment and modernisation, but its position, plot size and surrounding calibre of neighbouring homes make this a particularly interesting prospect for renovation, remodelling or potential replacement as one impressive single dwelling, subject to any necessary consents.
The current accommodation extends to approximately 1,150–1,200 sq ft and includes a lounge, kitchen/dining space, ground floor WC, three first floor bedrooms, en-suite facilities and a family bathroom.
The house retains character and charm, including its distinctive cottage-style appearance and thatched roof, but the principal value and appeal lies in the scale of the site, the exclusivity of the location and the opportunity to create something truly special.
Externally, the property sits within a generous 0.325 acre plot with established boundaries, garden areas, off-road parking and a garage.
The elevated Lower Heswall setting also allows for attractive views towards the Dee Estuary and Welsh hills, adding further lifestyle appeal to an already exceptional position.
The site benefits from planning permission, reference APP/23/00233 , granted in March 2025 for demolition of the existing dwelling and replacement with six apartments.
However, the property is also understood to be subject to a restrictive covenant requiring use as a single dwelling house only.
Interested parties should make their own legal and planning enquiries, but the clearest and most natural opportunity appears to be the creation of one substantial luxury home, refurbished, extended, remodelled or potentially rebuilt to suit the buyer’s own requirements.
Opportunities of this nature in Lower Heswall are rarely available.
For those looking to secure a generous plot in a premium address and create a long-term bespoke residence, this is an opportunity that deserves serious consideration.
Offered with no onward chain, early viewing and further investigation are strongly recommended. Parking - Driveway Parking - Garage
