The home is hailed as "deceptive, unique and surprising", with an abundance of charming period features such as exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace.
There are three reception rooms on the ground floor, two of which boast statement fireplaces which really add to the property's period charm. The kitchen leads to a porch and out into the leafy grounds, and there's also a study and additional WC.
The lean to outside is currently used as a log store, where the owner keeps wood to get the fireplaces roaring on the cold winter nights.
The manicured garden features mature trees providing an element of privacy.
Upstairs there are five bedrooms, the master of which has an en-suite and its own dedicated dressing area. There is also a family bathroom and plenty of storage space.
The property is on the market with Brennan Ayre O'Neill for a guide price of £625,000. The listing said: "It's a property that just keeps giving.
"This has been a family home for many years and you can see why; it offers an abundance of both living and sleeping space which lends itself to modern living whilst retaining bags full of character. That said, it is time for the next family to begin their chapter and put their stamp on whilst making many memories."
Dibbinsdale Nature Reserve is nestled in a picturesque river valley and also comprises the historic Brotherton Park.
It's the Wirral's largest example of ancient woodland, with other habitats such as wildflower meadows, reed swamps and parkland.
House prices in Spital are on the rise, with the average up by 2% in the past year and 15% higher than the 2019 peak of £249,261.
