Location

The immediate position of the property is of particular significance, being set back from the lane and surrounded by landscaped and well maintained gardens and grounds which provide a high degree of privacy.
A wide range of services is available in the nearby villages of West Kirby and Heswall including doctors and dentists surgeries, parades of shops, pubs, restaurants and supermarkets. The cities of Chester and Liverpool both offer excellent shopping and leisure facilities and are within easy reach either by road or rail.
On the educational front there are both private and state schools in the area including West Kirby Girls School, Calday Grammar, Upton Hall, Hilbre, Birkenhead, and the King’s and Queen’s Schools in Chester. Sporting activities are also well catered for with rugby and golf clubs in the village, other golf courses at Hoylake and Heswall and sailing and windsurfing on the marine lake and Dee Estuary at West Kirby.

For travel further afield there are international airports in Liverpool and Manchester, and direct rail services from Liverpool and Chester to London Euston.

After a short distance, turn right into Croft Drive and proceed for about 250 yards where the entrance to Sawrey Knotts will be seen on the right hand side.
Outside
Sawrey Knotts is approached via a pair of electrically operated entrance gates and over a wide tarmacadamed drive to a parking area in front of the house, flanked by low maintenance artificial grassed areas. To the side and beneath a stand of pines is a garden area ideal for children’s climbing frame/play area. The drive extends around the side of the house to the garage and there is an additional store room and boiler plant room, to the side of which a track leads up alongside the house to where the air conditioning and air source systems are.
At the rear of the house is a fantastic wide tiled terrace and raised outdoor kitchen area including a BBQ, firepit and pizza oven, with built in bench style seating. This part of the garden is extremely private and has direct access both to the indoor pool and also beyond to a further area of astroturf garden.
