5 bed detached house to buy in CH48

Nestled in one of Caldy's most desirable residential locations and just a short stroll from the beach and stunning Wirral coastline, this substantial five-bedroom detached family home presents an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking a property with character, space, and enormous potential.

Owned by the same family since the 1960s, the property is now ready for its next chapter. Requiring a programme of modernisation and renovation, it offers the perfect blank canvas for those wishing to create a bespoke family home in an outstanding setting, whether you are a family looking for your forever home or a developer seeking your next project.

Occupying a generous plot of approximately 6,900 sq ft, the property is surrounded by mature gardens, established trees, and an abundance of greenery, providing a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity. The extensive outdoor space offers endless possibilities for landscaping, entertaining or extending the accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions. The plot also currently offers extensive off-road parking.

The accommodation extends to approximately 1,918 sq ft and is thoughtfully arranged over two floors. The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance porch and hallway, a spacious dual-aspect living room, separate dining room, generous kitchen with pantry, shower room, side entrance, integral garage, and useful storage throughout, creating a flexible layout ideal for modern family living.

To the first floor are five well-proportioned bedrooms, all offering excellent natural light, together with a family bathroom and spacious landing, providing comfortable accommodation for growing families or those requiring dedicated home office space.

Situated within walking distance of the beach and the Dee Estuary, the property enjoys the very best of coastal living whilst remaining close to highly regarded schools, local amenities, transport links, and the vibrant centres of West Kirby and Heswall.

Properties of this nature, offering such generous accommodation, a mature plot, and the opportunity to renovate in one of the Wirral's premier addresses, are increasingly rare.

ONLINE AUCTION NOTICE

I hereby acknowledge and confirm the following:

My bid may be accepted by the seller at any time before the close of the auction. It is subject to the terms and conditions of the auction which I have read and understood. I have read and understood the legal pack applicable to my bid/lot and agree to be bound by any special conditions within that pack.

If my bid is successful (whether as the highest bid or upon acceptance by the seller in the course of the auction) I shall be bound by the lot terms and conditions as advertised online.

Any amount payable at the close of the auction must be paid within 1 hour.

Please note that the bidding process will work in a different way to an eBay auction, so there is NO advantage to bidding at the last second.

Each auction will automatically stay open until there has not been a bid within the final 10 minutes. If no bid has been submitted within the final 10 minutes of the auction, the auction will close and the highest bidder will be successful subject to the reserve price being met or upon acceptance of an offer by the seller throughout the auction cycle. If there is another bid within 10 minutes of the last bid, the auction countdown timer will be restarted for another 10 minutes to allow further bidding. This system avoids last-minute (or second) bidding and makes for a fairer auction as in a live-room auction situation.

Please bid in good time before the end of the auction, delaying your bid to the last seconds may disadvantage you if your connection slows or you lose internet connectivity.

The auctioneer is not responsible for any tech issues, power outage or error messages which hampers or eliminates an individual's opportunity to bid.

It is the bidder's responsibility to ensure the bid has been lodged with the auctioneer. It is therefore beneficial to bid on your chosen lot at your earliest opportunity.

The auctioneer accepts no responsibility for bids that are not received or are received late and reserves the right to reject any bid without notice.

Minimum online bidding increments:
£50,000 - £250 minimum bid
