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
Thornfield is a unique and distinctive detached house, dating back to 1780 and believed to have operated as a pig farm. It is also a house that I know well. I was born in Helsby and grew up nearby.
I had school friends who lived in the house and visited often. I admired the house as it seemed enormous to me and always full of life and joy.
It was subsequently owned by another family for several decades. Roll on 36 years and I was lucky to be able to oversee the sale to the current owners in 2019.
Since then, it has been subject to huge investment with thought, care and attention to preserve the character of the house.
The results are impressive and have created a home that is substantial yet homely with a tasteful, contemporary feel.The ground floor has been re-modelled to form a wonderful open plan living space incorporating a superb modern kitchen, dining and living areas, extending in to a garden room.
Bi folding and double doors open to enable this area to seamlessly connect on to the gardens.
There are two separate reception rooms currently used as a lounge and play room but the use of these can be adapted to suit individual needs. There are five good sized bedrooms on the first floor.
The main bedroom has a dressing room, luxury en-suite bathroom and access to a private balcony with views to Helsby Hill. The other bedrooms are served by a separate family bathroom.
Externally, there are two driveways providing parking for multiple vehicles and a substantial double garage.
The gardens wrap around the house with a superb outdoor entertaining area, an expanse of lawn and established borders. EPC Rating: C
