Description
The opportunity to acquire a period mansion house 2,184 M2 (Internally) steeped in local history yet only built in 1911 which has been fully refurbished with such meticulous attention to detail is rare indeed. The current owners have purchased it as their family home in the mid 90s and lavished much energy, passion and expense to ensure that Tillycorthie Mansion House was reinstated to its former glory.
Accessed by a shared private driveway with lawns and lake along either side , A feeling of grandeur is immediately evident on arrival into the Palm Courtyard this exquisite 349M2 space is flooded with natural light from the pitched cantilever style glass roof and offers the most versatile of hosting areas. A number of French doors surround the perimeter allowing a direct flow of access to the main corridors of the ground floor accommodation.
The traditional library has beautiful carved and intricate glass fronted display cases ,with ensuite toilet and walk in safe / gun cabinet. Adorning the north east corner with rear and side facing windows is the elegant drawing room. The heart of the home is the particularly generous dining sized presentation kitchen fitted with an extensive and comprehensive range of luxury bespoke hand made cabinets, complemented by granite work surfaces. Integrated luxury appliances are by Wolf, Sub-zero, Siemens and Fischer and Paykel. The focal point is the elongated curved central island. An informal start to the day is provided through the double doors to an open sitting area. An adjacent breakfast room offers a more formal start while further down the oak lined corridor is the cocktail bar with its striking black and white porcelain tiled floor. Sympathetically retained is The Christmas room which has no less than four points of access. In turn this room leads to the garden room which leads out to the formal gardens.
The ground floor west wing flows seamlessly to the rest of the ground floor and features the former receiving room for guests. This floor is serviced by three bathrooms and a cloakroom. Cornering the north west wing, the formal dining room has a rear facing bay window, and one of three extraordinary floor to ceiling oak fire surrounds. There is a double bedroom with en suite dressing room, a sitting room and most attractive west wing corner front room. Everyday utility tasks are catered for in the laundry room and a nostalgic reminder of times past is the paymaster's room, which still has evidence of filing and payment drawers.
A grand sweeping staircase leads to the first floor. Located on the east wing is the principal suite, comprising a large and fabulously light double bedroom, thanks to its bay and side windows. There is an en suite dressing room and bathroom with double ended bath and walk in 2 person shower room. There are two further bedrooms one of which is known as the Purple Room with en suite and bathroom and the other known as the Chinese Room with en suite.

Opposite in the west wing is the principal bedroom with rear bay window and en suite shower room with a further adjacent bedroom with en suite shower room.

This wing offers ideal self contained independent space for multi generational living, with a bedroom, butler's bedroom, butler's kitchen, informal sitting known as the cosy and bathroom. The entire lower level offers considerable versatile space while remaining partially above ground for natural lighting.

About Town & Country North West, Liverpool

162 County Road, Walton, Liverpool, L4 5PH

Town & Country Property Auctions are a traditional auction house selling all residential, commercial and land across the UK.

Our History

Town & Country can trace their history back to the early building societies of the nineteenth century, and more latterly the Town & Country Building Society which was formed in 1974.

Town & Country Estate Agents formed in 1991 gaining immediate success with a model putting customer service to the forefront. Following expansion over North Wales, North-West and Shropshire, estate agency headquarters were established in Chester City Centre in 2007.

2010 saw the establishment of Town & Country Property Auctions with expansion into the UK, Ireland and overseas in 2018. The continued growth of TCPA nationwide has facilitated a move to new prestigious premises at Regus House, Chester followed by the development of a new digital marketplace for property auctions, with the goal of providing an easy to use, transparent platform for auction buyers and sellers in the modern age.
