Accessed via an unadopted track, the property immediately offers a sense of countryside seclusion and exclusivity.

Set within approximately 1 acre of lawned grounds, together with a further 6.5 acres of protected Green Belt woodland, this is a rare opportunity to acquire not just a home, but a substantial private estate.

The elevated position affords far-reaching views across open countryside towards Liverpool and the Welsh mountains.

The property has also benefited from a new roof installed in 2024, providing reassurance for years to come. Main Residence You enter through a welcoming porch into the central hallway.
