Parr Woods is a development of 31 three storey houses situated on land which originally formed part of an estate owned by Joseph Charlton Parr, a noted banker and founder of Parrs Bank, a constituent bank of what is now The National Westminster Bank.
In 1998, Countryside Residential purchased six acres of land on Parr Woods to develop 31 detached family homes within the 50 acres of available land on the former Parr Woods estate. Each home has generous accommodation arranged on three floors, and there are six different classical styles to reflect the elegance and stature of the estate. Rooms for formal entertaining are at the front of each house with generously proportioned informal kitchens, family rooms or breakfast areas at the back. Interesting features and clever use of space have been used throughout, in designs tailored for practical family living, as well as stylish and luxury details to suit executive expectations.
The houses are situated in a beautiful country setting surrounded by the mature oak trees of Parr Woods' eight acres of woodland walks which are enclosed in part by the estate's original stone wall. In addition, a number of the houses will overlook a pond.
Parr Woods is close to the old country village of Grappenhall, which is a protected conservation area incorporating Georgian homes, two attractive local pubs and a cobbled main street. Much of the history of the village is retained in the C15th local church, which holds the old village stocks, an attractive clock tower, rare glasswork and a Norman font. The Bridgewater Canal that passes through the village provides fishing and boating facilities and the local village school has an excellent reputation.
The location offers an exceptional quality of rural living at Grappenhall Heys on the outskirts of Warrington, approximately 20 miles to the South West of Manchester. Several market towns are close by as well as good roads to the M56 and M6 to Chester, Manchester and Liverpool. The development is also two miles (approximately) from two main rail stations.
The houses are priced from £345,000 to approximately £420,000.
