4 bedroom mews house for sale

Rann Lea, located on the highly sought-after Mill Lane in Rainhill, offers an incredibly rare opportunity to own a truly unique and historically significant residence. Originally known as Beaconsfield, this grand stone-built mansion dates back to 1862, constructed as one of several prestigious homes for wealthy Victorian industrialists. Positioned in an elevated setting with uninterrupted panoramic views stretching across the surrounding countryside, the building was sympathetically converted into four distinctive dwellings in the 1980s. Unlike the others, this particular home is being sold with the Freehold of the building, as well as exclusive access to a vast cellar approx 800 sqft, which offers enormous potential for future development-ideal for those looking to create additional living space, a home gym, office, or cinema room, subject to the necessary permissions.

The property is accessed via an impressive communal entrance hall rich in period charm, which leads into a private, self-contained inner hallway. From here, you’re welcomed into a striking and spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, thoughtfully arranged to retain a sense of flow and functionality. The stylish kitchen is fitted with granite worktops, quality units, and integrated appliances, complemented by a well-defined dining space and a generous living area-perfect for entertaining while enjoying the elegant proportions and original features of the home.

To the first floor, the property continues to impress with a large principal bedroom enjoying breathtaking views over open countryside. This room also benefits from a walk-in wardrobe, offering excellent storage and dressing space. The bathroom is a stunning blend of period elegance and modern luxury, featuring a four-piece suite that includes a traditional high-level cistern WC, a freestanding roll-top bath, a separate shower cubicle, and classic tiling. An inner landing leads to a second staircase, taking you to the upper floor, where you’ll find three further generously-sized double bedrooms, all of which boast vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a wealth of character. One of these bedrooms is accessed through another, creating a charming, elevated retreat that could function as a guest room, nursery, home office, or studio.

Directly beneath the property lies an extensive cellar, split into multiple rooms with good head height, offering a wealth of opportunity for creative development or additional storage. Externally, the property enjoys use of mature communal gardens and shared resident parking, all set within beautifully maintained grounds that complement the grandeur of the building itself. Situated in one of Rainhill’s most exclusive residential settings, Mill Lane is just a short stroll from the vibrant heart of Rainhill Village, which offers a variety of independent shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants. The area is also renowned for its excellent schools, strong community atmosphere, and superb transport links-including Rainhill Train Station and the nearby M62 motorway, providing swift access to Liverpool, Manchester, and beyond.

Combining rich local history, architectural grandeur, and modern living, Rann Lea is a distinctive home offering space, charm, and versatility in equal measure. This is an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a home that is as unique as it is desirable.
