Description

27 Kingsway is an impressive detached property which is situated off a quiet road in Gayton, close to Heswall, and within walking distance of its amenities. The house is most likely constructed of brick and block with rendered elevations beneath a tiled roof, and is believed to date from 1930’s albeit was comprehensively remodeled and extended in the last 20 years. More recently the property was subject to a scheme of upgrading by the present owners in 2021, and it now comprises a spacious and superbly appointed home arranged over two floors, ideally suited to family living and also a smaller household including perhaps anyone wishing to downsize from a larger property to be in a village environment.

The layout is ideal for family living, with a fantastic everyday living space in the open plan kitchen with space for a seating area and dining table and chairs, all with underfloor heating. The kitchen is by Merilyn Phillips, and incorporates a range of hand made wall and floor units with cupboards and drawers beneath granite surfaces, extensive use of oak to the integral larder unit, integrated appliances including NEFF dishwasher, wine fridge, Rangemaster oven and space for American style fridge/freezer. A large central island provides further storage and breakfast bar, and the room has wide bifolds opening directly to the terrace and garden. There is a formal lounge with lovely bay window brining in plenty of light, and two further reception rooms, currently a study also with fitted cupbaords and desk by Merilyn Phillips, and a playroom. The utility provides excellent storage and has space for washer and dryer.

At first floor level the space has been well designed, and is also adaptable. A large landing with space for piano provides access to five bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms. The master and guest suites are at the rear and overlook the back garden, each with fitted wardrobes and beautifully fitted shower rooms. There are two further large single bedrooms, and the fifth bedroom is now a well fitted dressing room with extensive clothes and shoe storage.

Whilst the extent of living space is entirely adequate for most buyers, for anyone seeking additional space, planning permission has been granted to extend the house to the side, with an integral single garage and further reception room on the ground floor, and a new master bedroom suite above.

There is a rail link from Heswall Hills to Liverpool and Chester, from which there is a sub 2hr intercity service to London Euston, and both Liverpool and Manchester are served with international airports.

27 Kingsway is approached via a pair of electrically operated timber entrance gates with brick pillars, and over a block paved drive to parking areas in front of and beside the house. To the front is a lawn with borders and some mature trees providing plenty of privacy. The main garden is at the rear, and is predominantly grass with a wide terrace against the rear elevation of the house, leading to a composite decked area with integral hot tub. The former garage is to one side, and which has been used as a games room, but would also be suitable as a home office having light and power. Alternatively, with relatively little work the building could be returned to a garage if required. The whole plot is fenced and has some mature trees and bushes for privacy, and there is external garden light at the front and rear.
