The ECHO has taken a look inside an eco-friendly mansion on the doorstep of a number of Merseyside beauty spots, which has gone on the market for a whopping £1.8m.
The Copse in Birchmere, on the Wirral, is nestled between Heswall and Thurstaston near beauty spots such as Heswall Dales and Cleaver Heath Nature Reserve. It boasts five bedrooms and five bathrooms across more than 6,000 sq ft.
The house is on the market with property specialists Savills for offers over £1.8m. They said it was built about five years ago by the current owners.

The listing added: "Their inspiration was to build a relaxed and friendly home, where family will remain keen to visit, but also to create a beautifully presented space, which is highly automated and offering impeccable environmental credentials."
While the listing price may be eye watering, The Copse has "minimal energy costs", according to Savills.
Hidden behind electric gates, the house oozes kerb appeal, with huge cathedral window and a detached double garage with a gym above it.
The ground floor is centred around the entrance hall, which boasts a turning staircase with its turning staircase and panelled feature wall. The two reception rooms at the front of the home are being used as a lounge and office space.
The huge L-shaped kitchen diner sits to the rear, creating a family-focused space to eat and relax.
The current owners have kept things simple with interior design. The kitchen has a rustic feel, with mismatched white and rich blue cabinets and plenty of sky lights to add brightness.
Off the kitchen is a utility room, boiler room and a boot room.
The first floor has three generously-sized bedrooms, all of which are en-suite, with the remaining two bedrooms and bathrooms on the second floor.
Outside has picturesque grounds that really add to the charm of the mansion.
A house going on the market in Birchmere is a rare occurrence; the last property to sell in the area was a five-bed detached home, which changed hands for £780,000 in 2018.
The average property price in Heswall over the last year was £404,667.
