Inside the hidden sandstone cottage that overlooks city museum

An exquisite sandstone cottage which perfectly blends the old with the new and even has its own balcony has been listed for sale.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom semi-detached property on North Sudley Road in Aigburth looks like something from a period drama with its private cobbled courtyard and sash windows. The road itself is tucked away off Aigburth Road and overlooks Sudley Fields, home to museum Sudley House.

Inside, the décor is sympathetic to the building's history while providing a modern and elegant edge. Guests are welcomed into a large room which acts as an entrance hall and open plan lounge, giving a light and airy feel.

It has been turned into the perfect relaxation spot by the current owners with astroturf and patio furniture. There's also a third bedroom, currently used as a home office, which has an interesting mezzanine area, perfect for a reading nook or a den.

The house is on the market with Find Your Eden for offers in excess of £425,000.

Sudley House was built in 1821 by Liverpool corn merchant Nicholas Robinson and was home to the prominent Holt family. It is now frozen in time as a perfect example of Victorian life in Liverpool and boasts an impressive art collection.
