Description
OF INTEREST TO PRIVATE BUYERS, DEVELOPERS, SPECULATORS. An individual building plot with planning permission for a spectacular detached house, occupying a prime location in Caldy
Description
Woodland House, as it will be known, is an individual residential development site of approximately half an acre, occupying a prime location in Caldy. The site has many mature trees and enjoys a woodland setting providing for great privacy and seclusion. On 13th February 2026 Planning Application APP/24/00916 was approved permitting the erection of a detached dwellinghouse and associated vehicular access to the west of the existing site of Clayton, Kings Drive.
The approved scheme provides for an architect designed detached dwelling, which has been carefully positioned on the site so as to retain maximum privacy and take full advantage of the scenic nature of the immediate surroundings, and to reflect the appearance of the neighbouring property, Clayton. The accommodation will be arranged over two floors, and extending to just over 4,000 square feet, with a broadly open plan feel, and attractive aspects across the grounds. The design creates an impressive enclosed courtyard into which the bedrooms, which are at ground floor level, will face.
In summary the property offers an exciting and rare opportunity to acquire a prime building plot in one of Wirral’s most sought after villages, where very few similar sites are ever offered for sale.
Location
The site occupies an extremely private location close to the centre of Caldy, off Kings Drive, widely regarded as one of the most sought after locations in Caldy and on the Wirral Peninsula. The immediate position of the property is of particular significance, being set back from the lane and surrounded by lovely wooded grounds which provide a high degree of privacy.
A wide range of services is available in the nearby villages of West Kirby and Heswall including doctors and dentists surgeries, parades of shops, pubs, restaurants and supermarkets. The cities of Chester and Liverpool both offer excellent shopping and leisure facilities and are within easy reach either by road or rail.
On the educational front there are both private and state schools in the area including West Kirby Girls School, Calday Grammar, Upton Hall, Hilbre, Birkenhead, and the King’s and Queen’s Schools in Chester. Sporting activities are also well catered for with rugby and golf clubs in the village, other golf courses at Hoylake and Heswall, and sailing and windsurfing on the marine lake and Dee Estuary at West Kirby.
Communications
The site benefits from excellent road links being within 3 miles of the M53 motorway which connects with the national motorway network and facilitates easy access to all the major areas of commerce throughout the North West. For travel further afield there are international airports in Liverpool and Manchester, and direct rail services from Liverpool and Chester to London Euston. There is a connection from West Kirby to Liverpool Lime Street.
