The Chesterfield, 5A Prescot Road, Melling, Sefton

THE CHESTERFIELD

The Chesterfield brings together spacious family living, striking architecture and exceptional spaces for entertaining. Extending to approximately 8,000 sq ft over three levels, this six-bedroom home has an en-suite to every bedroom, five walk-in wardrobes and a dedicated lower ground floor featuring a private 18-seat 4K cinema, sports bar, games area and indoor soft play.

Set within a plot of approximately one acre in Melling, the property combines generous accommodation with distinctive outdoor entertaining areas, a large children’s play area with a sunken trampoline, a cycle track surrounding the rear garden and an oversized garage. A comprehensive Control4 smart home installation, high-speed broadband and underfloor heating throughout complete this impressive family home.

ENTRANCE AND LIVING SPACE

Beyond the double entrance doors, a spacious reception hall introduces the scale and character of the home. The main living area unfolds around a statement central staircase, with glass balustrades and curved detailing drawing the eye towards a galleried landing beneath a vaulted ceiling with rooflights.

There is room for several seating areas, while wide garden-facing windows bring natural light into the living space. An illuminated media wall, display recesses and feature fireplaces create distinct focal points.

KITCHEN AND DINING

The open-plan kitchen and dining room is designed for everyday family life and entertaining. Gloss cabinetry and contrasting work surfaces surround a large island with breakfast seating, complemented by extensive storage. Smeg appliances include two ovens, an integrated coffee machine and hob. An integrated dishwasher by another manufacturer completes the kitchen.

The adjoining vaulted dining area provides space for a large dining table, equally suited to relaxed family meals and special occasions. A separate utility room supports the practical side of running a home of this size.

ENTRANCE LEVEL BEDROOM

A bedroom with its own en-suite on the entrance level provides flexibility for guests or family members who prefer accommodation on this floor.

LOWER GROUND FLOOR AND PRIVATE CINEMA

The lower ground floor is devoted to leisure and entertaining. A spacious games area and fitted sports bar, complete with an integrated dishwasher, create a setting for match days, celebrations and evenings with friends.

A standout feature is the private 18-seat cinema. Stadium-style tiered cinema seating faces an expansive screen, with a 4K projector delivering detailed visuals and Dolby Atmos audio providing rich, immersive sound. A star-effect ceiling completes the atmosphere, creating an exceptional setting for film nights and big-screen entertainment.

An indoor soft play area, complete with climbing sections, tunnels and a slide, provides a dedicated space for younger family members. A WC serves this level.

UPPER FLOOR

Five further bedrooms occupy the upper floor, each with its own en-suite. Vaulted ceilings give the rooms individual character, while mezzanine chill-out decks above the children’s bedrooms provide additional spaces to relax, read and unwind. Five walk-in wardrobes across the home offer generous dressing and storage space.

A bedroom at the front of the house benefits from its own balcony, providing an inviting spot to step outside and enjoy a morning coffee.

The principal suite combines a spacious bedroom with a mezzanine level and a walk-in wardrobe. Its en-suite bathroom features a freestanding bath, twin countertop basins and a separate glazed shower enclosure.

TECHNOLOGY AND COMFORT

The home features a comprehensive Control4 smart home system, bringing entertainment, lighting, security and everyday convenience together through one integrated platform.

A central hub distributes audio and video throughout the property, with independent room controls allowing family members to choose their own entertainment. Music also extends to the outdoor entertaining area, connecting the experience inside and out.

The installation includes mood lighting, automated blind and Velux window controls, an intercom, CCTV and an intruder alarm. Dedicated room remotes with charging stations and 7-inch wall-mounted touchscreens provide convenient access to the system.

From adjusting the lighting for an evening with friends to enjoying a private cinema screening, the technology complements the home’s extensive leisure facilities. A home Wi-Fi network and high-speed broadband support streaming, home working and connected family life. Underfloor heating provides comfort throughout.

GARDENS AND OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING

The gardens bring the home’s emphasis on entertaining into the open air. A distinctive barbecue and seating area provides a striking social centrepiece, ideal for relaxed outdoor dining and gathering with friends. An outdoor bar, curved seating around a fire pit, paved terraces and gravelled areas offer further places to unwind.

Broad steps lead to an extensive lawn, complemented by established trees and a large children’s play area to the rear, complete with a large sunken trampoline set into the ground. A cycle track surrounds the rear garden, creating an exceptional outdoor space for active family life.

GARAGE AND PARKING

The plot extends to approximately one acre, with a gravel driveway providing parking for 8–10 vehicles.

A separate oversized garage has two vehicle access doors and offers considerably more space than a typical double garage. It also incorporates a WC and a boiler room.
