This week's House of the Week is a proper showstopper. A traditional five bedroom detached on Higher Lane in Lymm, on the market with Declan James for £1 million. It is set back from the road behind wooden gates with parking for several cars, and inside there is a 22ft lounge with a wood burning stove, a huge kitchen and dining family room with french doors out to the garden, and a master bedroom with ensuite. The family bathroom alone has a roll top bath and a separate double shower.

If you have a spare million quid, this one is hard to beat.

Here are some positive stories from around the town over the past few days.

🏃 Lymm Runners have raised over £12,000 so far with their Goggins challenge, where runners completed four miles every four hours for 48 hours, covering a total of 2,144 miles between them. The money goes to The Walton Centre Charity and donations are still open. (Warrington Worldwide)

🏫 Sir Thomas Boteler CofE High School in Warrington has passed its latest Ofsted inspection under the tougher new framework, meeting expected standards across every area.

🤔 Can you guess where we are in this video? I had someone comment that I had never mentioned this area before so we headed over that way to check it out.

🤣 Here’s a funny meme about getting off the Riverside Retail Park that you might like.

Thanks for reading The Warrington Scoop today.

If you found this useful, please share it with someone who loved to walk over the wooden bridge into Cockhedge.

Catch you on Friday.
