OUR property of the week combines contemporary style and state-of-the-art convenience with the benefits of life in a thriving rural market town - and is just a few miles down the road.

With estate agents Savills inviting offers over £1.3 million, this property in Howey Road is a family home set well back from the road, just a short walk from the centre of Frodsham.

With excellent road and rail connections to Manchester, Liverpool and Chester, the town has become something of a foodie Mecca in recent years.

Frodsham’s two first-class butchers, award winning bakery, greengrocer, delis, wine merchants, restaurants and real-ale pubs draw in gastronomes from across the region, but it has held on to it charming local vibe.

A short walk up from the high street and tucked into the wooded slopes of Frodsham Hill, this four-bedroom, three story property is hardly visible from the road.

Approached via electric gates and a private driveway, the bold lines and contemporary materials of this architectural gem’s exterior can be properly appreciated only by its owners and their invited guests.

There is a wealth of outdoor space, including lawns, mature trees, landscaped areas and sun terrace with extensive integrated lighting and firepit, making it perfect for outdoor entertaining.

As you would expect from a premium build finished only five years ago, this ‘smart home’ is kitted out with industry-leading fixtures and technology, including Control4 lighting, super efficient underfloor heating and a top end security system.

The main entrance opens into an airy, sun-lit atrium with a reception room for casual or business visitors who would not necessarily be invited into the family space (which you must admit, is quite posh.)

But the further into the house you go, the more intimate the spaces become, with the ground floor blending sharpness and sleekness with genuine comfort.

There is a substantial open-plan living room/kitchen with top-end built-in appliances, utility room, downstairs cloak room, home office and a spacious garage.  

Go up the custom oak staircase and you will find the master bedroom suite, with balcony, dressing room and ensuite bathroom, and the second bedroom, also ensuite.

The next floor comprises the third and fourth bedrooms (one of which is ensuite), a family bathroom and a gym, all with excellent views across Frodsham Marsh and the River Mersey to Liverpool, the Wirral Peninsula, and the Welsh hills.
