House For Sale £3,750,000
A classic modern linear house in a superb elevated position situated in one of the North of England's most exclusive residential villages
Description
Rock Mount is an uncompromising and striking building with its linear plan reducing its impact in the landscape. It was the brain child of the current owners who worked with renowned architects Shedkm to deliver the project in 2011. In 2013 it was nominated for riba Mansell house of the year and the judging panel commented that with elements of “America’s west coast mid-century modern homes” it is an “original and inspiring new composition that matches the quality of its setting in every way.”
The house aimed to suit a family with progressive views on design, give fantastic views from the living areas, and make the most of the topography of the site. A long, low built form was developed and orientated east-west, jutting out of the crest of the hill and reaching out to the view. This element contained the living space positioned in the most exposed location with sleeping spaces for the children facing the garden. On the floor below, set into the hillside, ancillary spaces were laid out, with a play space and a guest suite in a far corner providing privacy.
Two linear blocks rotated at 90° to each other divide the house efficiently and cleverly into four zones: Children’s rooms, pool, master suite and study, and fully glazed living area.
Overall is it is an outstanding contemporary home offering exceptional accommodation within a stunning private setting. The property is approached via electric gates with a large driveway providing parking for several cars in front of the garaging.
Outside
Rock Mount sits within impressive private grounds laid mainly to lawn with mature trees and attractively landscaped areas. There is a large terrace off the living area which has a highly quality outdoor entertaining terrace with an outdoor kitchen and heated swimming pool. In addition there is a good size garage.

Caldy is one of the North of England’s most exclusive residential villages. For over 100 years it has been the location of choice for wealthy Liverpool professionals, also becoming popular with footballers and celebrities since the 1990s.
The house is approached via a private road from Thorsway leading to an extraordinary elevated setting within the Conservation Area and on the site of a former quarry with views towards the setting sun across the River Dee to the North Wales coast.
