5 bed detached house for sale

Bleak Hill Road, Windle WA10

A truly rare opportunity to own a remarkable piece of Eccleston’s living history.

Believed to date back to the 17th century and once reputedly visited by Katherine Parr, this exceptional residence is one of the village’s oldest and most fascinating homes. Rich in heritage, character, and period charm, the property offers an extraordinary lifestyle opportunity while importantly not being listed, meaning future owners retain the freedom to modernise, alter, or extend subject to the relevant permissions.

From the moment you arrive, the home makes an impression unlike anything else on the market - not simply a property, but a landmark home with a story to tell.

Extending to approximately 2,312 sq ft, the accommodation is both substantial and versatile, perfectly suited to growing families or buyers searching for flexible living space. At the heart of the home sits the stunning fitted kitchen/breakfast room, positioned within what was once the original dairy of the former farm - a beautiful nod to the property’s origins that effortlessly blends historic character with modern practicality.

The layout briefly comprises five bedrooms in total, with the current downstairs office offering the flexibility to be utilised as an additional bedroom if desired, ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or those working from home. The property also boasts three large reception rooms, creating an abundance of entertaining and family space throughout the ground floor.

Whether hosting family gatherings, children’s parties, or simply enjoying quieter evenings at home, the property offers a wonderful flow and versatility rarely found in period homes.

Further enhancing the practicality of the accommodation is a dedicated utility room complete with space for a washing machine, tumble dryer, and additional storage.

Upstairs, the principal suite provides a peaceful retreat with an en-suite bathroom and dressing area/home office space, all enjoying attractive views over the gardens and surrounding greenery.

Externally, the property continues to impress. To the rear is a large, enclosed garden designed perfectly for family life - safe, private, and beautifully established. Mature trees, colourful planting, and well-maintained flowers create a stunning outdoor setting that enjoys sunlight from dawn until dusk. Multiple seating and dining areas provide the ideal environment for entertaining, relaxing, or allowing children plenty of secure space to play.

The generous plot also provides extensive driveway parking for multiple vehicles, alongside a substantial garage and additional gym/home office space, adding even more flexibility to this already impressive home.

Despite its historic origins, the property benefits from modern comforts including double glazing and gas central heating throughout.

Positioned within walking distance of highly regarded schools, local playing fields, village amenities, and excellent road links, the location is ideal for commuters, with Liverpool accessible in approximately 20 minutes and Manchester around 40 minutes away.

Homes of this nature, history, and individuality rarely come to market. Combining heritage, scale, flexibility, and exceptional gardens, this is far more than just a home - it is an opportunity to own a truly unique part of Eccleston’s history.
