Description

White Cottage is a stunning modern house, occupying a prime position in South Wirral, overlooking the Dee Estuary. The property was built in 2022 on a site previously occupied by a period cottage which was almost entirely demolished to make way for the new White Cottage. The resulting dwelling is now a prominent building along Parkgate’s front, set within a Conservation Area, and orientated to take full advantage of the incredible location, and views.

The accommodation is spacious and superbly appointed, arranged over three floors, designed with modern family living at the forefront, with a relatively open plan feel, and the principal rooms all enjoying the south west facing aspect across the marsh. No expense was spared in the quality of the building work and materials, and the house enjoys high energy efficiency and is relatively low maintenance for a house of such proportions. It is served with under floor heating to the ground floor and all bathrooms, striking aluminum black double glazed windows, extensive use of porcelain tiling and some venetian plastering, quality kitchen and bathroom fitments, is wired for sound, and of particular note is the impressive oversized pivot glazed front door opening to the reception hall with feature granite staircase.

The main day to day living space extends the full depth of the building and has bifold doors front and rear opening to the terraces to link the interior and outside spaces. The lounge area has feature wall with electric fire, and opens to the kitchen which incorporates a range of quality wall and floor units with extensive cupboard and drawer space, granite work tops, and range of integrated NEFF appliances to include fridge, freezer, wine cooler, dishwasher, two ovens with warming drawer, Induction hob, microwave and hot water tap. A wide island also has breakfast bar seating. There is a useful utility room and separate cloakroom, and beyond the kitchen are the dining room and bar/sitting room, both with bifolds to the front and rear making for a fantastic entertaining area.

The first floor is as comprehensive with 4 double bedrooms suites all of which have en-suite shower rooms, together with a study. The two front bedrooms each have bifold doors opening to balconies overlooking the marsh. The master suite is at second floor level, and incorporates a large bedroom with skylights and a pair of walk-out velux balcony windows along with a covered balcony within the apex of the front elevation providing a fantastic seating area to take full advantage of the views.
