An Architectural Masterpiece in Caldy s Most Prestigious Setting

Set within 1.18 acres of secluded, private grounds on Thorsway the most exclusive road on the Wirral Peninsula Rock Mount is a landmark contemporary home offering almost 4,700 sq. ft. of inspired living space. Designed by renowned architects Shedkm, the property was nominated for the prestigious RIBA Mansell House of the Year award, praised by the judging panel as "an original and inspiring new composition that matches the quality of its setting in every way."

Taking design cues from West Hollywood Hills mid century modernism, this striking home has been carefully sculpted to respond to its dramatic position atop the sandstone outcrop of the Wirral Peninsula. Its low, elongated form is orientated east west to follow the contours of the hillside, with the main living areas projecting boldly out toward uninterrupted views over National Trust woodland and the Dee Estuary. The result is a home of rare architectural confidence one that is both visually bold and incredibly liveable.

Internally, the property is arranged into four intelligently defined zones, providing flexible and functional living for a modern family. At its heart is an exceptional open plan living, dining and kitchen space, framed by floor to ceiling glazing that floods the home with natural light and blurs the boundary between indoors and out. These primary living areas are positioned in the most elevated section of the house, offering sweeping vistas and direct access to expansive terraces, balconies, and beautifully landscaped gardens.

The master suite occupies its own private wing, offering a peaceful retreat with a generous bedroom, spa style en suite bathroom and dressing space or home office. Across the home are up to four further bedrooms, one with en suite, with others easily adaptable as guest accommodation, gym, studio or additional study spaces. Tucked into a quiet corner of the lower level is a dedicated guest suite, offering total privacy. A cinema playroom provides a relaxed second living space, while a utility laundry room, boiler plant room and ample storage ensure the home functions as effortlessly as it looks. A double garage and large driveway, approached via secure electric gates, provide parking for several vehicles.

As striking as the interiors are, the connection to the outdoors elevates this home to something truly special. Surrounded by mature trees and National Trust woodland, the grounds feel both expansive and serene. Full width entertaining terraces, a heated swimming pool, an outdoor kitchen and manicured lawns all combine to create an exceptional outdoor lifestyle, ideal for both family life and hosting on any scale.

Positioned in the heart of Caldy, the location is as enviable as the property itself. Thorsway is widely recognised as the Wirral s most prestigious address, offering peaceful seclusion while remaining connected to local amenities. Caldy Beach is just a short walk away, with stunning coastline walks stretching from Thurstaston to West Kirby and beyond. West Kirby itself, a charming seaside town, offers a thriving caf culture, independent shops, and the celebrated Marine Lake the largest man made lake in the UK, popular for sailing and watersports. Golfers are spoiled for choice with Caldy Golf Club just moments away and Royal Liverpool Golf Club, host of The Open 2023, close by.

Families will find the area equally appealing, with access to some of the region s most sought after schools, including St Bridget s Primary School, leading grammar schools and Birkenhead School, which is just a 15 minute drive.

Rock Mount is more than just a home it s a rare example of architectural ambition realised in perfect harmony with its surroundings. A contemporary sanctuary offering exceptional design, versatile accommodation, and a lifestyle without compromise.
