A charming period cottage has come on the market on Wirral - and it looks like it's been plucked straight out of the pages of a fairy tale.
Nestled on the edge of Arrowe Country Park , this old gatekeeper's lodge is surrounded by colourful flowers and rich greenery.
It looks like it could be the setting of a Grimm Brother's fairy tale or home to a Disney princess in the middle of an enchanted forest.
In reality, it's located on the junction of Arrowe Park Road , opposite the Hungry Horse pub on the corner of a busy road.
But photos uploaded to Zoopla show that this tranquil little hideaway feels a million miles away from the outside world beyond the front gates.
Built in 1856, this former lodge house is known as 'the gate keepers cottage' - and it boasts a quarter of an acre of its own private land.
The stunning period residence is grade II listed, with its historic status and quirky design making it unlike anything else on the market in Merseyside.
On the market with Jones and Chapman's Greasby sales office, this property carries an asking price of £299,999.
Boasting two double bedrooms, the quaint cottage also has a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom, with a spacious lounge and sitting room.
The stone lodge also has its own paddocks and off-street parking beyond the front gates.
Photos taken inside the lodge show the traditional interior design scheme favoured by the current owners - with an exposed brick wall and log burner in the lounge.
A chandelier, exposed beams and plush curtains all add to the affect of this historic property, with a similarly traditional design scheme in the sitting room.
The cottage also has some more contemporary elements, with a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom that offer a contrast to the rest of the property.
