This attractive house is on the market with Move Residential and has an asking price of £765,000.

Lapwing Rise is a gated community on Gayton Road, Lower Heswall, a development of 16 detached homes and townhouses built on the site of what was once the Victoria Hotel.

For many years the mock Tudor Vic was a popular watering hole and live entertainment venue, but, despite some rousing country and western nights, the business proved unsustainable and time had to be called.

When the Vic had been levelled and plans for Lapwing Rise were revealed there was some muttering locally about its gated community aspect - just who would the residents of the new homes be trying to keep out? It wasn't as if Heswall was being submerged by a crime wave.

But if you like privacy and security then there is something to be said for solid gates whose opening and closing you control.

Tree lined Gayton Road has much going for it. Leave Lapwing Rise and turn right and you're only a couple of minutes drive from the Devon Doorway roundabout and routes to Liverpool and Chester; turn left and you have a two minute walk down to Heswall Lower village and its shops and services.

Heswall town centre is close by, as is the shore, along with Heswall Golf Club and two good primary schools, Gayton and St Peter's.

In a nutshell, this is how Move Residential describes the house.
