An impressive Arts and Crafts house with an indoor pool complex and extensive gardens and grounds.
Description
Bentwood House is a substantial house offering excellent family accommodation including an indoor swimming pool complex and accommodation over three floors.
It stands in a private elevated position approached via a sweeping tarmac drive. There is ample parking at the front of the house and a path leads to a heavy oak front door set within an attractive arched sandstone architrave. It opens into a small lobby with a reception hall beyond with stairs to the first floor and double doors opening into a music room with French doors opening onto the garden.
To one side is a light and spacious drawing room, ideal for entertaining, with a fireplace with a painted chimney tiles, a bay window and French doors to the garden.
On the opposite side of the music room is a conservatory and dining room and on the opposite side of the inner hall a well-appointed kitchen with an island and a good range of storage units. It has an Aga as well as an eye-level electric oven and a dining area. A door links to a small hallway with a boot room and WC and a secondary staircase to the first floor. A glazed cloister leads to the swimming pool passing a study and gym and access to the double garage.
The swimming pool is an excellent size and there is a small jacuzzi style pool to one corner and changing rooms, a sauna, WC and pump room at the far end. At the far end of the house is a cloakroom and billiard room.
The first floor offers flexible space with the opportunity to create a separate flat. It includes eight bedrooms, a study, a utility, six bathrooms, a WC and stairs to the second floor with a dressing room, a further bedroom and extensive attic storage.
The house sits in outstanding gardens and grounds, framing the house and offering numerous points of interest and areas from which to enjoy the wonderful views.
Part of the site was once a sandstone quarry, then a vegetable garden at the rear of the formal gardens, many
elements of which remain today. The grounds are part wooded with a wide variety of mature shrubs and plants and include a pond, a former tennis court in a sheltered position, a stone hut and a tree house. There are several paths providing varied walks and also providing a wonderful playground for children.
With separate access from the road is a stable block with adjoining storage buildings alongside a paddock, together offering potential for equestrian and other hobby farming uses. In addition, to one side of the house is a covered party area, with potential for various uses.

Bentwood House occupies a wonderful, elevated part wooded site with farreaching southerly westerly views. Situated on the outskirts of Frodsham, close to the border with Helsby, its
semi-rural position provides an excellent balance of beautiful countryside with good access to amenities in the local area.
The nearest shopping centre is the charming market town of Frodsham, with more comprehensive facilities available in Chester (12 miles), Warrington (11 miles) and Liverpool (21 miles).
The Cathedral City of Chester is one of the North West’s leading retail and commercial centres and offers an extensive range of shops and restaurants.
Schooling is well provided for locally with a selection of state and private schools including Helsby High (2.5 miles), The Grange at Hartford, Abbey Gate College at Saighton, The Hammond School and King’s & Queen’s in Chester.
There is a mainline train station at Frodsham and direct rail services to London from Chester (about 2 hours). The excellent motorway network provides access to Manchester via the M56, which also connects to the M6 and M53. Manchester Airport and Liverpool John Lennon are within 23 miles and 14
miles, respectively.
Some of the leisure opportunities in the
area include walks in Delamere Forest, on the Weaver Canal and the Sandstone Trail, golf at Delamere and Frodsham and horse racing at Chester, Aintree and Haydock.
