A stunning period cottage has come on the market in Formby - and despite its historic features, it has a modern twist.
Originally two houses, this thatched-roof cottage on Gores Lane is available to rent with Karen Park Sales and Lettings in Formby.
Timber-framed, with a roughcast exterior, this detached three-bedroomed property is certainly eye-catching.
It is on the market for £1,400 a month, and is available for a long term let.
Images uploaded to property site RightMove show the stunning original features, modern flourishes and sprawling grounds of this luxury home.
The house has a three-bay front, the left bay being recessed and lower with a slate roof, and the other bays are thatched. The windows are horizontally-sliding sashes.
At the rear is a three-bay wing.
Believed to have been built in the 17th century, this property opens to an entrance hall which leads to two reception rooms to the left, through to a fitted kitchen and a rear enclosed sunroom.
To the right, there is a double bedroom with tiled en-suite bathroom with a bath and a shower cubicle.
Upstairs, there is another double bedroom, as well as a small single bedroom or dressing room, through to an en-suite shower room.
The home is access via a long, gated driveway, and there is a spacious lawn, as well as patio areas.
This unique home is close to Formby's high street, shops, bars and restaurants.
Formby Beach is just a seven-minute drive away, while Freshfield station is 0.5 miles from the house.
