Sharrock“It was the privacy that first struck me when we viewed the house. We are set back from the road – by roughly 150ft. behind electric gates. You can’t see the house from the road and when you are sitting having breakfast, all you can hear is the sound of the birds,” says Dennis, “As you come up the driveway the garden is on both sides of you. The house sits in one third of an acre so the garden is a great size. It was designed by a very talented landscape gardener; he purposefully put in shrubs that require very little maintenance so it looks after itself. You have beautiful south westerly views and on a clear day you can just about see the welsh mountains in the distance.”

“Although a fairly new home, the property sits where the Old Coach House used to be. The person who then built this house used the sandstone from the original build to create a house that actually looks a lot older than it is. He created a steep pitched roof, one that an older home might have, and even used parts from the old fireplace to create our log burning fireplace in the living room. We like that the home has little bits of history within it,” continues Dennis.

“As you walk into the house you are met with a very spacious hallway which leads into one of my favourite rooms: the dining room. It’s a fantastic space for entertaining, especially in the summer, you can open the French doors onto the patio and have a barbeque,” says Joan. “Since moving in almost 16 years ago, we have added a double story extension to create a huge master bedroom, a recording studio and a gym. We got good use out of our recording studio when we were a working band, it is sound proofed and air conditioned and we tend to use the gym three times a week,” she continues, “We also had the kitchen redone. I love to cook and making a huge Sunday roast is a breeze in this kitchen now, with so much surface space, appliances and two ovens.”

“The size of the house makes it perfect for entertaining. We have had parties with more than 50 people. We had enough space to accommodate everyone; you can fit seven cars comfortably on the driveway too,” says Dennis. “Our children have also enjoyed the house. Our son was in his 20s when we first moved in and he would have small parties with his friends. Our daughter who lives in London would regularly come back here to escape the busy city life. I think they will probably miss the house as much as we will,” adds Joan.

“The house is in the ideal position, that’s why we would never move far away. You can easily walk to the train station which gets you to Liverpool in around 20 minutes. You can also leave your car at the train station if you want to whilst you pop into Liverpool; it’s very practical,” Joan says.

“We are incredibly sad to leave but we need something smaller now. I wish we could cut it in half so we could stay,” Dennis laughs. “We’d like to find a family who will appreciate the house like we have done,” he concludes.*
