Properties in Heswall

22 Farr Hall Drive

On Monday we reported that Wirral Borough Council's planning committee looked set to approve a planning application proposing the demolition of a thatched cottage on Farr Hall Drive so it could be replaced with a two and three storey development comprising six flats.

The century-old cottage sits on the unadopted road and bridleway that is Farr Hall Drive, and was described in a petition mourning its potential loss - that attracted 298 signatures - as a "locally loved landmark".

Property of the Week: this four bed detached home in The Paddock, Heswall

Above: a gallery of ten images

The Paddock lies between Barnston Road and Brimstage Road and is therefore only a few minutes' drive to Heswall centre (or walk if you are feeling sprightly), and a short stroll to the Devon Doorway and Glegg Arms pubs and restaurants. Heswall Football club is just a hefty goal kick away if you fancy watching or playing grassroots football, while local shops are also on hand, as is Heswall railway station. Note: our petition stating that Heswall needs a direct train to Liverpool is just 10 signatures short of 1,000. Please consider signing to get us over the line so we can submit to the powers that be. Back to this home. It's on the market with Hewitt Adams of Pensby Road, Heswall, and comes with an asking price of £725,000. It sits in a generous plot permitting a large, family sized garden with an outside home office or games room thrown in for good measure. The house has not long since been redecorated, and new flooring has been fitted. There are two bathrooms, plus a driveway and garage with power and lighting that can be accessed from the utility room. Says Hewitt Adams: "The owners have built a contemporary family home of the highest quality - that has been a much loved family home for over 20 years. "Benefitting from coming to the market having only had one owner, this is a beautifully designed and maintained family home. As agents we have been most impressed by the attention to detail throughout this excellent home. "In our opinion this is the ideal family home offering fantastic modern living space and lots of entertaining space both inside and out." If you're interested in seeing if you agree, you can arrange a viewing by calling Hewitt Adams on 0151 954 0052.

Rose Cottage will be one of ten homes forming the development in Barnston called Manor Farm. Heading out of Heswall on Barnston Road towards Thingwall, you'll find the site on the right not long before you reach the Fox and Hounds pub.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a bathroom, and the master bedroom comes with an en-suite. Outside there's a private garden, and designated parking spaces. Says Hewitt Adams: "This impressive new gated community is surrounded by picturesque, sprawling countryside. Once a working farm, Manor Farm will offer residents the chance to live on the doorstep of local amenities, but in a semi-rural setting. "The development, set to be completed in 2022, will be a welcome addition to the property market in Heswall and Barnston - with these characterful homes offering high specification accommodation appealing to buyers of all age ranges."
