"Sun is shining, the weather is sweet, make you want to move your dancing
feet!" Bob Marley really knows what he's talking about when it
comes to calming the mood and settling those nerves. Just what we
need after the stresses of property searching and sat on a plot measuring
approximately 680m2 is this detached home. Set back from the road
and with open farmland views to the front this is the right place to put
down roots.

There are so many features worthy
of mention when discussing this detached
house, for starters the sheer
amount of living space available is
just right for the growing family, a
through lounge with large conservatory
to the side are the first jewels to
mention, then we come to the large
farmhouse style kitchen with a fabulous
central island and a dining room
to one side. For homework or home
working there is a study with views
to the front. Moving upstairs to the
three double bedrooms, two of
which have en-suite shower rooms.
The third bedroom has to make do
with a large and stylish family bathroom,

Eccleston is a civil parish within the Metropolitan Borough of St Helens, Merseyside, England. At the 2011 Census, it had a population
of 10,433. Historically part of Lancashire, the early history of Eccleston is marked by its status as a township, an area much larger
than the modern civil parish, extending into what is now St. Helens. Part of the township was united with Parr, Sutton and part of
Windle to form the Municipal Borough of St Helens in 1868. Eccleston is one of seven civil parishes in St Helens and one of the largest
covering the neighbourhoods of Eccleston Park, Gillars Green, Trapwood Close and the area around Springfield south of the
A580 road. Eccleston means church farm or settlement. Eccles which is found in several place names in the North West of England is
derived from the Welsh Eglwys and the use of this word implies a Celtic religious foundation. However, there does not seem to have
been a church in the township of Eccleston until Portico Our Lady's Roman Catholic chapel in the late 18th century. St Thomas, Eccleston
(now on Westfield Street, St Helens town centre) and Christ Church date from 1838/39. It is suggested that the name is connected
with the adjoining town of Prescot which has had a church for over a thousand years. [3] The present Eccleston Hall dates from
the 1820s but there have been halls on the site from the late mediaeval period. The Eccleston family, who were Lords of the Manor
of Eccleston, were recusants and there was a Catholic chapel in the old hall which was built in the Tudor era. Richard Seddon (1845–
1906), 15th Prime Minister of New Zealand, was born in Eccleston and attended the local grammar school. Eccleston is built upon
green fertile rolling hills with countryside to the north and west and urban sprawl to south and east. Running through Eccleston there
is a stream or brook called Windle Brook (actually the boundary with Windle CP) and Mill Brook. There is a mere called Eccleston
Mere and three dams used for cooling purposes in factories. There are several open public spaces including many woods and small
nature reserve at Millfields. There are a number of public footpaths through local countryside such as Green Lane and Sadlers Lane.
There is a large public area at Ecclesfield playing fields, which is located behind the library.
Road connections are to the M6, M62, M57 and M58. The A580 (Liverpool to Manchester) locally known as the 'East Lancs' is a
1930s trunk road running north of the borough linking the M58 and M6, traffic problems are often reported at the notorious Windle
Island. The A570 (St Helens to Southport) links the M58 and M62. The B5201 takes traffic from Prescot through the centre of Eccleston.
There are many frequent bus services that run to parts of St Helens and Liverpool some of these are: 35/35A Gillars Green-
St Helens Junction (Arriva) 37 Eccleston-St Helens Bus Station (Arriva) 137/138 Billinge/St Helens Circular (HTL) There are no railway
stations in Eccleston but there are a number of stations close by such as St Helens Central, St Helens Junction, Eccleston Park,
Prescot, Whiston. Liverpool John Lennon Airport is the closest airport and Manchester second to that both no more than a 45-
minute drive.
