Property Description - Positioned on Parkgate’s iconic Parade, with uninterrupted views stretching across the Dee Estuary to the Welsh hills beyond, Greenshutters is a beautifully restored Georgian townhouse where centuries of history meet contemporary country-coastal living.

Dating from the 18th century, this landmark home occupies a prominent position on The Parade, its elegant, rendered façade and restored sash windows create an instantly recognisable presence within one of Cheshire’s most sought-after coastal villages. Behind the striking exterior lies a home of remarkable character and scale, extending to over 2,400 sq ft and thoughtfully reimagined to celebrate both its architectural heritage and modern-day living.

The interiors are rich in texture and craftsmanship. York stone flooring, exposed timber beams, original joinery and a beautifully preserved staircase provide a strong sense of period authenticity, while carefully considered upgrades introduce a refined and contemporary aesthetic throughout. The result is a home that feels both timeless and effortlessly liveable.

The ground floor centres around two distinctive reception spaces. An atmospheric living room, anchored by a magnificent inglenook fireplace, offers an inviting setting, while the bespoke kitchen and dining space combines handcrafted solid wood cabinetry, stone worktops, a Belfast sink and range cooker to create a room designed as much for gathering as it is for cooking.

The first-floor sitting room enjoys an elevated vantage point over the estuary, framing ever-changing coastal views that define life in Parkgate. Additional flexible rooms on this level currently provide space for a study and bedroom. A family bathroom completes the floor.
The second floor offers three generous double bedrooms and a beautifully appointed bathroom featuring a Heritage roll-top bath, walk-in rainfall shower and elegant vanity unit, creating a luxurious retreat.

A useful basement level provides additional storage and houses the boiler.
Outside, a separate garden offers a private outdoor sanctuary. Designed for low-maintenance enjoyment, it combines lawn, York stone terraces and seating areas, creating the perfect setting for summer dining, evening drinks or simply enjoying the coastal air. Double gates open onto Grenfell Park, with vehicular access rights offering further practicality.
