Heath Worthy Street Hey Lane, Willaston Cheshire CH64 1SS DESCRIPTION Heath Worthy dates from the early part of the 20th century and is constructed of brick with rough cast rendered elevations under a tiled roof with high brick chimney stacks. The property has been the subject of a comprehensive scheme of renovation in recent years and now provides superbly appointed family accommodation arranged essentially over three floors. However despite the recent improvements the property remains a fine example of the late Edwardian building period and in particular the Arts and Crafts movement with high plaster molded ceilings, period doors and fireplaces and solid hardwood floors. Accessed via an elegant reception hall there are three formal reception rooms with handsome fireplaces, one of which is wired for surround sound and as a home cinema. The kitchen has been re-fitted by the present owners and incorporates a range of high quality wall and floor units beneath polished granite work surfaces, integral Neff appliances and a two oven gas fired Aga. Off the kitchen is a large utility and walk-in pantry. At first and second floor levels the layout is adaptable and currently provides spacious master and guest suites along with three further double bedrooms, a sitting room, a study and two additional bath/shower rooms. Outside, Heath Worthy is surrounded by well maintained gardens and grounds with a variety of mature trees providing a high degree of privacy. The property is superbly equipped for equestrian use with an extensive range of stabling, large manège and over 11 acres of grazing, sub-divided into paddocks. There is in addition garaging for three cars and ample parking. DIRECTIONS To reach the property from the centre of Willaston proceed west on the B5133 towards Hooton. After just over ½ mile turn left into Street Hey Lane. Continue for approximately 300 yards and the double gated entrance to Heath Worthy will be seen on the left hand side.

Despite its extremely private and rural location the property is superbly placed for commuting being within a short distance of the M53 permitting daily travel to all the major areas of commerce throughout the North West. Local services are available in the village of Willaston with more comprehensive amenities in the cities of Chester and Liverpool. Schooling is well catered for in the villages of Willaston, Neston and Heswall along with a wide range of both private and state schools in Chester, Birkenhead and Liverpool. On the recreational front there are a number of golf courses within close proximity, including Royal Liverpool at Hoylake, sailing on the Marine Lake and the Dee Estuary and racing at Chester.
OUTSIDE Heath Worthy is approached through a set of electrically operated double timber entrance gates and via a tarmacadamed drive to a stone walled turning circle planted with a variety of flowers. The drive continues to a parking area on the north front and beyond to a rear drive with double timber gates and access onto Street Hey Lane. Adjacent to the drive is a detached garage constructed of brick with rough cast rendered elevations under a slate roof comprising garage (6.1m x 3.66m) with store room off and loft over. Attached to the garage is a store, with, to the side two further garden stores. To the North West of the drive is a lawn surrounded by floral borders and well screened from the lane by stand of mature trees. The formal gardens are situated to the South West of the house and are laid to lawn with a number of mature trees to include oak, sycamore, copper beech and chestnut. Attached to the house is a greenhouse with, to the side, a flagged patio and BBQ area. A floral border subdivides the lawn and leads to a timber summerhouse. Beyond the garden is an orchard. The equestrian facilities are accessed from the main entrance and via a graveled drive along the south of the garden well screened by high conifer hedge. A five bar gate gives access to the stable yard. There is a superb range of stables by Scotts of Thrapston of timber construction on a brick plinth under a felt tiled roof comprising: six loose boxes (five measuring 3.6m x 3.6m approx, the other being a foaling box 5.4m x 3.6m), wash area, tack room, large store (7m x 3.5m) suitable for conversion to two additional loose boxes if required and kitchen with plumbing for washing machine, sink and work surface with cupboards. The stables are served with light, water and power and each box has automatic drinkers and hay bars, rubber matting and rubber kick boards. The stable yard has an extensive area of pavier setts with additional graveled area providing ample space for boxes and trailers. Attached to the side of the stables is a separate w.c. and double garage with two sets of double timber doors. To the rear of the stables is a rough paddock with space suitable for further equestrian facilities if required, such as a horse walker. Immediately next to the stable yard is a superb Charles Britton manège measuring 60m x 22m approx, surrounded by mature hedging. The manège is of high quality and is fully draining with a sand and rubber surface. To the south is an area of pasture subdivided into four paddocks and surrounded by post and rail fencing and mature hedgerows. There is access from one of the paddocks onto Street Hey Lane along with a timber field shelter. To the west are four further paddocks with access to Street Hey Lane.
