Huge six bedroom Victorian house which is £300k cheaper than similar properties nearby

A ‘special’ property is up for sale that sits on impressive grounds with sweeping lawns.

The six bedroom house, on Benty Heath Lane, in Hooton, is behind a gated driveway and enjoys the privacy and seclusion of being set within large grounds.

The semi-detached Victorian house is set over three floors and has lower ground floor rooms that span the full width of the building.

Listed with Hart and Co agents, the period property is on the market for £750,000.

Ian Hart of Hard and Co estate agency said: “This is something quite special.

“Grand period properties of this calibre rarely come to market, the location and grounds are superb and it lies within easy reach of both Liverpool and Chester City centres.”

The house is such a rarity that the closest property on the market that boasts a similar six bedroom residence is almost four miles away and costs more than £1.5 million on Brimstage Road.

According to Rightmove, another similar property, five miles away on Knowsley Road is listed for sale for just shy of a million at £999,999.

The property is significantly less expensive at £750,000, but that price may reflect that the home is in need of some improvement.

According to the estate agents, it requires ‘some general improvement and modernisation’ but it has the potential to be a ‘magnificent family home.’

Hart and Co believe that this property has much appeal to developers who are looking to take on the project of an ‘impressive period property.’

Highlights of the property include dual access driveway, a huge garden surrounded by mature trees and shrub borders and ‘handsome’ original period features including marble fireplaces.

Images on Rightmove show, that from the outset the property boasts grand fittings with steps leading to entrance with minton style tiled flooring and double doors with stained glass panels leading to the hall.

Inside the hall is decorated with a ‘beautiful’ coved ceiling with a central staircase leading to the first floor.

Throughout the home benefits from period detailing such as ‘attractive’ sash bay windows with stained glass arches and original feature fireplaces.

The flower ground floor spans the length of the property and has been divided into four rooms with a mixture of bay and front facing windows, including a bathroom.

These four basements rooms are in addition to the six bedrooms on the upper floor.

This means there’s plenty of opportunity to add extra flair to the house with four sizeable rooms with untapped potential.

The six bedrooms are all double rooms, two of which have en-suite facilities and the remaining four share a family bathroom.

Outside the property is gated but also enjoys the privacy of mature tree, shrub and herbaceous borders.

There’s a large lawn area but also a greenhouse, patio and seating area.

The listing reads: “Situated between the popular villages of Hooton and Willaston, Benty Heath Lane is leafy, picturesque and highly sought after.

“Enjoying easy access to the M53, yet surrounded by beautiful countryside, the property lies within 20-30 minutes travelling distance of both Liverpool and Chester City Centres.

“There are excellent communication links with road and rail networks close by and good local schooling for primary, nursery and secondary education.”
