Inside the 180-year-old cottage in the middle of a dual carriageway

A 180-year-old cottage has come on the market in Liverpool - and it's located right in the middle of a busy dual carriageway.

The cottage is something of a local landmark on Menlove Avenue - and after years of seeing the property on our journeys along the busy road, it's up for sale.

On the market with Housesimple.com estate agents for £300,000, the property is certainly unlike anything else on the market in Merseyside.

Nestled on the edge of Calderstones Park, plenty of south Liverpool locals will recognise the property from passing it on a daily basis as they drive along Menlove Avene.

The dual carriageway is a busy road through the Calderstones area of the city - and certainly not the place you'd expect to find a quaint period cottage.

The cottage has nearly 200 years of history, dating back to approximately 1836 according to an online listing.

Boasting three bedrooms and a open-plan downstairs layout, the property has two living and dining areas with potential for development.

The property retains a number of original period features, like the stone framed windows, high ceilings and double-sided fireplace.

Upstairs, the master bedroom comes with its own ensuite bathroom, with a further two bedrooms on the first floor.

An online listing uploaded to property website RightMove describes the cottage as 'loaded with potential and waiting to be transformed'.

It says the property offers 'a rare opportunity to add value to a period home' thanks to the potential for house-hunters to make it their own.
