Seller Insight As the name depicts, this unique, roomy, family home, parts of which were built over one hundred years ago, was, many years ago, the keeper s cottage for the local reservoirs. The house enjoys an elevated position with a magnificent, far reaching, outlook onto the local Pex Hill Nature Reserve and beyond to Wales. The area is renowned for its natural beauty and for its wide variety of flora and fauna. Beautifully tucked away, the owners relish the utter peace and tranquillity they experience here, with a full range of outstanding amenities close to hand. Local shops include a well stocked convenience store, together with independent baker and butchers shops. The village proudly boasts that it has the best fish and chip shop for miles around. There is also a primary school very close and, just two miles away is Widnes which is where schools for older pupils are located. Road links are exceptional and centres such as Chester, Liverpool and Southport are extremely convenient to visit. When the owners purchased the cottage, some twenty years ago, it was in a sadly neglected state of repair, but its potential was obvious, plus, they fell hopelessly in love with its stunning location, teamed with convenient access to all amenities. Having all the essential skills and experience to renovate the cottage, the owners undertook a massive project to reorganise the internal layout and refurbish the house to create this quite special, spacious, family home and one which has retained its unique character. An idyllic home to share with friends and family and summer BBQs here are incredibly popular. In addition there is an independent two storey annex in the grounds. It has been utilised for numerous purposes but, with its flexible, adaptable, layout, its uses are endless. The owners have thoroughly enjoyed the past twenty years living in this lovely house in such a location. They are moving to another part of the world, but there are so many happy memories that will stay away with them forever.

An essential part of the renovation was to create the large bright and sunny family room in which it is easy to seat many guests for relaxed dining, or social gatherings. This room is very much the heartbeat of family life here.

The owners remark that they do feel very much part of the natural environment surrounding the house and they particularly enjoy the spectacular, unpolluted, night skies which are available

When the renovation took place a window seat was incorporated into the Master bedroom and this, combined with the elevated setting of the house, provides remarkable panoramic views.
