Formerly forming part of the renowned Greenalls Estate, Walton House is believed to have been enlarged during the Victorian era under the ownership of Sir Gilbert Greenall, adding further distinction to an already remarkable home. The handsome façade, highlighted by an iconic portico entrance and shaped gables incorporating an elegant oriel window, creates a striking first impression. The property has been sympathetically enhanced by the current owner and now offers a rare combination of historic character and contemporary luxury. Throughout, a wealth of original features have been preserved, including ornate plasterwork, sash windows, high ceilings and period detailing, all complemented by carefully considered interior design and high-quality finishes. The grand portico entrance opens to an elegant reception hall, setting the tone for the accommodation beyond. The principal reception rooms are beautifully proportioned and include a superb drawing room flooded with natural light through twin sash windows, a refined dining room overlooking the gardens, and an inviting sitting room centred around a feature log-burning stove. A separate study provides an ideal space for home working. At the heart of the home lies the outstanding Tom Howley kitchen and breakfast room, exquisitely appointed with bespoke cabinetry, an Aga and a range of integrated appliances. Designed to combine timeless craftsmanship with modern practicality, the space also provides ample room for informal dining and everyday family life. A generous utility and laundry room together with a ground-floor shower room complete the accommodation at this level. A magnificent staircase rises to an impressive first-floor landing, from which five generously proportioned bedrooms are accessed. The principal suite enjoys dual-aspect views and incorporates a luxurious en suite shower room together with a substantial dressing room, formerly an additional bedroom. Four further bedrooms are served by two beautifully appointed family bathrooms and a separate WC. The second floor provides two versatile loft rooms, ideal as guest accommodation, hobby rooms or a playroom, whilst extensive eaves storage adds further practicality. The cellar level comprises two substantial chambers offering excellent storage and potential for a variety of future uses, subject to any necessary consents. Outside, the beautifully maintained grounds provide an idyllic setting for the house. Predominantly laid to lawn, the gardens feature mature trees, established planting, topiary displays and Buxus-edged David Austin rose beds, creating a wonderfully private and tranquil environment. A courtyard area leads to a collection of outbuildings currently arranged as a gym and games room, providing excellent ancillary accommodation for leisure and recreation. A car port provides covered parking. Combining architectural heritage, elegant reception space and exceptional family accommodation, Walton House represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the area's most distinguished period homes. **Location** Walton House is situated on Walton Road, on the edge of Stockton Heath, one of south Warrington's most established villages.
