W PROPERTY L Hilstone Grange, Hoylake £1,875,000 An exceptional 7 bedroom period family house, occupying an extremely sought after location overlooking Royal Liverpool Golf Course and with views towards the Dee Estuary. Hilstone Grange is a fine example of Edwardian architecture having been designed and built in 1911 for a local business man, J P Brocklebank. Constructed of brick with leaded light windows, impressive sandstone capped gables and high brick chimney stacks under a slate roof, the house has particularly impressive front and rear fascades befitting what is believed to have been the intention of the architect to create “the best house on the road”. Internally, Hilstone Grange has some wonderful period features with a certain art deco influence, and include plaster moulded ceilings, parquet floors, impressive fireplaces, hardwood doors and decorated architraves, a panelled entrance hall and a fine oak turned staircase. Beyond the reception hall a wide doorway opens to the staircase hall which has an impressive oak turned staircase leading to a galleried landing. The kitchen provides a superb everyday informal living space with central brick fireplace housing a gas fire and seating area off. The property is set in approximately half an acre and is approached via in and out flagged drive to parking areas under the front of the house. Beside the drive are mown lawns, with along the front boundary a plantation of attractive Cypress Cedar trees. Contact Jackson-Stops for more information on 01244 328361. wirrallife.com 43
