Caldy Road, CH48

The property in brief

Invisible from the road, this superb 5 bedroom family home offers a high degree of privacy.  This, combined with the stunning views across the Dee Estuary, makes it a very special property.

Built around 1910, the house retains many of its original features whilst having been brought sympathetically up to date.

Surrounded by mature planting, the steps lead up to the wide, pillared porch from the sweeping driveway below.  Once through the front door the spaciousness of the house can be fully appreciated.  It is filled with light from the beautifully maintained lead paned windows and the warmth of the wood flooring and panelling gives it the most welcoming feel.  The large sitting room ahead boasts its original fireplace, which now houses a cosy log burner, and provides access to a generous patio area via timber double doors - the perfect place to relax over an alfresco lunch or sundowner whilst enjoying the views across the water.

The second sitting room is bathed in light from the large bay window and once again makes the most of the breathtaking views.  A cosy nook provides the perfect spot to wile away an afternoon in the sunshine and the elegant original ceilings and fireplace really add to the character of this double reception room.

An impressive kitchen/dining room lies beyond glazed doors, fully fitted with a range style hob, granite and wooden worktops, Belfast sink, two ovens, dishwasher and an integrated coffee machine. There is storage galore in floor to ceiling cupboards.  The dining area, with double timber doors leading out to the lawned garden, is an excellent size for entertaining, seating twelve comfortably.  A handy utility room is adjacent with access to the rear of the house.  A smart cloakroom and loo completes the downstairs accommodation.

The staircase, with its original carved oak newel and handrail, passes a stunning stained glass window, before reaching the broad landing from where the five generous double bedrooms are accessed.  The principal suite enjoys the magnificent views across the Estuary towards the Welsh headland - it's certainly a place to enjoy a morning cup of tea.  A well appointed ensuite and dressing area complete this peaceful retreat.  A guest room with ensuite looks out over the mature lawned gardens, whilst the three further double bedrooms enjoy front facing views across the water beyond.   These are serviced by a bright family bathroom with separate shower.

The outside in brief

Accessed via a sweeping driveway with planted beds and trees on either side, there is plenty of parking for a number of cars.  There is also a garage at the entrance gate.

The house is enveloped in beautiful mature gardens and the abundant access via double doors really does 'bring the outside in'.  From the entertaining patio at the front to the lawned areas at the side of the house, much thought has gone into maximising the enjoyment from this idyllic garden.  There is an excellent lawn to the side of the kitchen, perfect for sports and family games.  A greenhouse and summer house, a sandstone wall, superb planting of shrubs and trees in the terraced beds - all add to the cocoon like atmosphere of this hidden gem.

The lifestyle

The location boasts the very best lifestyle on offer on The Wirral.  The beach, the country walks and fairways are all on your doorstep.

Caldy Hill is the heart of this area, made up of heath and woodland on the sandstone outcrop of The Peninsula.  Including Stapledon Woods, the whole area covers 250 acres, of which 13 acres is National Trust Land.
