Old Hall Close, Higher Walton, Warrington

'Deceptively spacious' is one of those phrases synonymous with estate agency, however its use to describe ‘Lea Rise’ is incredibly apt. Our clients have owned the property since construction by Ashall Builders, a local family firm of builders renowned for their quality construction, and, in recent years the property has been transformed with substantial extensions and upgrading to create a home that offers an extent of accommodation that is not immediately apparent on first impression. Putting its sheer size to one side, the care and attention to detail that our clients have employed is equally as impressive. With well-presented rooms of substantial proportions and tremendous flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyles and requirements, the property would equally suit those searching for a large family home, those seeking a property that would accommodate a dependent relative or for those working from home.

Unlike many properties extended to such a degree, ‘Lea Rise’ retains outstanding predominantly westerly-facing grounds extending to approximately 0.32 acre (0.30 ha). On entering, viewers will be immediately struck by its sheer size, with a large open-plan lounge, dining area and impressively fitted kitchen. An abundance of natural light floods in through the skylights and bi-fold doors leading to the beautifully landscaped garden, creating the perfect space for entertaining and relaxing. The kitchen features quartz worksurfaces, Neff integrated appliances and ample space to cook and socialise in style.

A hall with vaulted ceiling and stunning chandeliers provides a versatile space ideal for use as a study, seating or hobbies area and leads to an inner hall serving three double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a seating area, superb en-suite shower room and retractable television, while the two further bedrooms each have fitted wardrobes. A luxurious family bathroom includes a grand fitted bath, separate shower and built-in TV.

For those working from home, there is a dedicated office with its own entrance. With adaptations already in place for an integral doorway, this could easily be transformed into a fourth bedroom or snug.

Technically impressive, ‘Lea Rise’ features aluminium double glazing, electrically operated Velux windows with rain sensors and external blinds, zoned lighting and electric curtains. Two Daikin heat inverter units provide ducted heating and air conditioning, controlled via Hive, with separate systems for the bedrooms and living areas. A Megaflo tank provides pressurised hot water, while the kitchen benefits from a Zip tap providing chilled and instant boiling water. CCTV is also installed.

Outside, the property enjoys generous driveway parking, a double garage and a well-positioned hot tub. Approached directly from Walton Lea Road, the property is approximately a 10-minute walk from Stockton Heath village, offering a wide range of shops, boutiques, restaurants and everyday amenities. Walton Hall Gardens and open countryside are also close by, with the gardens just a five-minute walk away. This exceptional home combines impressive modern technology, versatile accommodation and a superb location.
