Indeed, the property is within a short walking distance of the centre of the village which provides a comprehensive range of local services for everyday needs including convenience stores, post office, dentist and doctor’s surgeries, pharmacy, pubs and a church. Heswall and Neston are a few miles distant which provide a wider choice of shopping together with high street banks and supermarkets.<br/><br/>The property is conveniently placed for Chester and Liverpool which offer extensive shopping, schooling and leisure facilities. In this connection there is a well-regarded primary school in Willaston together with several grammar schools in Wirral including West Kirby, Calday, Wirral and Upton Hall, complemented by various independent schools nearby including Birkenhead, Abbeygate College at Saighton and the King’s and Queen’s schools in Chester.<br/><br/>On the recreational front there is a variety of sporting activities in the area including sailing and windsurfing on the Marine Lake and Dee Estuary, golf clubs at Caldy, Heswall and Royal Liverpool at Hoylake, Rugby at Caldy and at Wirral on the edge of Thornton Hough, and The Neston Club at Parkgate offers cricket, hockey, tennis and squash.<br/><br/>COMMUNICATIONS<br/><br/>Despite Willaston occupying a semi-rural location it benefits from excellent road communications being 3 miles from the M53 motorway which provides fast access to Liverpool and Chester, and connects with the national motorway network including the M56 for travel to Manchester. There is a rail link from Hooton to Chester from which there is a sub 2hr intercity service to London Euston, and both Liverpool and Manchester are served with international airports.<br/><br/>OUTSIDE<br/><br/>The property is approached by a splayed entrance to a wide gravelled drive and parking area under the south front, beside which is a lawn screened from the lane by a high hedge. The drive continues alongside the house which provides further space for numerous vehicles and has external lighting, and gives access to the double garage (6.46m x 5.91m) which is served by a pair of up and over doors and has light and power. The main gardens are to the north west of the house and as such enjoy plenty of light particularly in the afternoon.

Steps lead up to the lawn which has a mature hedge at the rear providing privacy and otherwise is fenced. The lawn extends around the side of the house and back to the drive at the front.
