4 bed detached house for sale

Dunriding Lane, Eccleston WA10

Dating back to 1874, Lyme Grove is a truly special property, steeped in history and brimming with character. A grand detached home that dominates its surroundings, this property has been lovingly restored, blending period charm with unique and fascinating details. Known locally as ‘Eccleston (or ‘Eccy’) Castle due to the sheer grandeur that is visible to the passing community!

Upon entering, the impressive reception hall sets the tone for this magnificent home, featuring a working fireplace—perfect for cosy winter evenings and long conversations by the fire. The spacious kitchen has become the heart of the home, where family and friends naturally gather, making it an ideal space for entertaining. A newly fitted kitchen with beautiful wall panelling surrounding the patio doors, one huge utility room, one ‘pantry’ style utility and a downstairs WC ensure modern convenience, while a cellar offers additional storage or conversion potential.

Adding to its distinctive charm, the front reception room is known as the “Artelier”—a space dedicated to creativity and inspiration. The wooden floor in this room has a fascinating history, originating from the set of the acclaimed TV show It’s a Sin, with other furnishings sourced from various productions, adding a touch of Hollywood to this already extraordinary home. There is a further lounge with incredible bespoke living flame fire that adds another level of luxury to the property.

The first floor boasts four generously sized double bedrooms, providing ample space for family or guests, along with three bathrooms. The landing features a unique space affectionately referred to as “The Stage”—a perfect nook to unwind with a glass of wine and a good book.

Set on a huge plot, the property benefits from an extensive garden with outbuilding, a huge main driveway, and array of raised veg beds and borders. There is also an additional gated driveway running the length of the plot which leads to two garages. This would be ideal to explore conversion to a granny annexe or separate dwelling (subject to the necessary consents).

With endless potential, character in abundance, and a truly special atmosphere, Lyme Grove is a one-of-a-kind home in the highly sought-after Eccleston location.
