Thornton Common Road, CH63

The property in brief

Willow Farm is a rare find. Nestled in the idyllic Wirral countryside with superb views across open fields, this beautifully refurbished home has over 4100 square feet of versatile living space.

The open plan kitchen/dining/living room is sleek - with its integrated appliances, plenty of floor to ceiling storage and a contemporary island that's perfect for casual dining. The generous sitting area sits to one end and the entire room opens onto the sunny patio via double and bifold doors creating a superb indoor - outdoor entertaining space.

There is a large living/dining room to the front of the house which manages to be both spacious and cosy with its central, dual aspect log burner. It also enjoys plenty of natural light from the lovely full length windows.

Adjacent sits an additional reception room, ideal as a playroom, study or workroom, and a handy downstairs loo.

On the first floor sits the superb principal suite. With its beamed ceiling, contemporary four piece ensuite, dressing room and views out over the garden and the open countryside beyond, it's the perfect retreat for rest and relaxation.

Three further good sized bedrooms and a newly fitted four piece bathroom offer plenty of space for family and guest accommodation.

The Annexe

The annexe to the left of the driveway has its own front door and is separate from the main house - complete with a stylish shaker style fully fitted kitchen, two spacious reception rooms (one with a stunning lantern skylight), a double bedroom and bathroom, it offers excellent versatile accommodation. Bifold doors open out onto the sunny patio area from which you can enjoy the lovely views across the garden. Built on one level, it is within easy access of the house whilst maintaining complete independence. This makes it an ideal solution for elderly parents or returning adult children.

The outside in brief

The garden at Willow Farm is a delight. The south facing, spacious flagged patio and wooden pergola offer plenty of space for entertaining. Beautifully landscaped and bordered by mature shrubs and trees, there is even a dedicated play area for family games. Lying beyond the lawn is a large field offering privacy but also potential given the relevant permissions. A summer house completes this rural idyll and offers further flexible space for leisure and entertainment.

The house is approached via double gates and there is a large double garage. This home also enjoys ample space for several cars on both of the driveways.

The lifestyle in brief

Willow Farm sits just south of the beautiful village of Thornton Hough which can comfortably be described as the quintessential British village. It features charming cottages, country pubs and even a village green on which sports teams and families play throughout the year.

Both pubs offer home cooked food with the Red Fox being a hotspot for gastro pub dining - summer or winter, this is a fabulous place to eat, drink and relax.

You also benefit from the award-winning Thornton Hall Hotel & Spa, which has fabulous spa facilities, a welcoming bar and The Lawns Grill Restaurant open all year round in a stunning setting.

In 1889 the very first Viscount Leverhulme started work on Thornton Hough and some years later he purchased the mansion of Thornton Manor where he settled with his family. He built a school, an orphanage, a Norman style church, shops and a smithy. Claremont Farm, an award winning farm shop and café is a stone's throw away, as are the shops of Bromborough.

Birkenhead School, Wirral Grammar and Neston High School are nearby (with relevant school buses), as are the primary schools of Willaston, Neston and Bromborough. Thornton Hough Primary School is held in very high esteem on the Wirral.

Thornton Hough is not only picture-postcard beautiful and historic, but is full of options for country walks. You also have the 20 mile Wirral Way close by taking you to Chester or the seaside town of West Kirby.

With easy links to the M53, Liverpool, Chester, Manchester and North Wales, Willow Farm sits in one of the most sought after locations on the whole of the Wirral. Sptial station is close by, which has access to the Wirral Line taking you to both Liverpool (and beyond) and Chester.
