Inside the £1.5 million Wirral hideaway that looks like something out of a fairytale

A stunning Wirral hideaway has come on the market for £1.5 million - and it looks like it's been plucked straight from the pages of a fairytale.

Nestled on Croft Drive West in the affluent Caldy enclave of Wirral, the property is on the market with Bradshaw Farnham & Lea.

The five-bedroom detached property comes with a hefty price tag of £1,550,000 - but photos taken inside the luxury home show why it comes with such a high asking price.

Pictures uploaded to RightMove show oak-panelled rooms, old-fashioned fire places and a winding staircase all befitting of a rural mansion.

Named 'Long Hay', the Caldy property is described as an 'arts and crafts residence' - with a number of original period features still lovingly retained.

Surrounded by landscaped gardens, the property even comes with its own private tennis court - plus a raised terrace area which runs across the back of the house.

Approached through a set of iron gates and set at the end of a sweeping driveway, an imposing oak panelled entrance door leads into the entrance hall.

Inside, the property boasts three reception rooms, a study and a stunning dining kitchen with a huge central island.

An online listing uploaded to property website RightMove says the current owners undertook a comprehensive programme of renovation and refurbishment to the house.

Alongside modern features and appliances, the property still retains original fireplaces, lead lighted doors and ornate moulded ceilings that offer a glimpse into the history of the home.

Throughout the property, many of the walls are covered with William Morris patterns, in a nod to its arts and crafts heritage.
