The Grange in West Kirby is up for sale after planning permission was secured to demolish a Victorian detached house and replace it with a dozen apartments.
Councillors gave the go-ahead for the scheme earlier this year, after being recommended to approve the application by Prospect Capital UK to create two and three bedroom apartments, together with 23 parking spaces, cycle spaces and landscaping.
The existing building, on Grange Road, was built in 1897 by a shipowner who lived in the home with his family.
It had several owners and became ‘Combermere School’ in the late 1950’s. It then became a private residence again from the late 1960’s onwards.

Now, property agent CBRE is marketing the two acre site for sale, with the price only available on application.
The literature states: “This strategically located residential development opportunity occupies an elevated position on Grange Road and Gerard Road in West Kirby, on the outskirts of the Grange Hill Park area.
“The site affords views across the skyline of West Kirby and West Kirby beach, spanning across the Welsh coastline across to Hoylake, encompassing the River Dee, Welsh hills and Snowdonia beyond from each floor.”
