Revamped Arts and Crafts cottage up for grabs in affluent village

A fully refurbished 'Arts and Crafts style' cottage in a picturesque Merseyside village has gone on the market.

The house is located on Blundell Road in Hightown, close to Hightown Beach, which is nestled on the Formby coastline between Liverpool and Southport.

Boasting five bedrooms and two bathrooms, the property is tucked away down a sweeping driveway with wrought iron gates and lighting. Two homes currently share access via the drive, but its vastness retains the element of privacy.

The exterior of the house has been given a fresh lick of white paint, along with new, black PVC windows which are bang on trend.

Inside is a cosy welcome area; the spacious entrance hall benefits from exposed beams, panelling, bench seating and its very own fireplace. Despite being a cottage, the property isn't lacking when it comes to size.

Each reception room boasts a number of original features, including more fireplaces and exposed beams, along with glossy hardwood flooring. Décor has been kept neutral to provide a blank canvas for any potential buyers.

It has a range of luxury features, including Amtico-style flooring, bi-fold doors leading to the garden and integrated appliances. The L-shaped counter space has a fitted induction hob with a rising extractor fan.
