A stunning house has gone up for sale in an increasingly popular coastal village in Merseyside.
The property is known as "The Cottage" but is anything but when it comes to size. It boasts five bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well as massive front and back gardens.
Location is everything with this house. It's in "Old Hightown", just a short walk away from Hightown train station, and sits on a tree lined street a stone's throw from the coast. The lively Crosby, packed full of bars, restaurants and shops, is a short drive away.

The home opens up into a light and airy hallway. There are three separate reception rooms and a shower room on the ground floor, along with a massive open plan kitchen, dining and living area to the rear of the property.
The owners have been playful with the décor, with feature walls, colourful posters, interesting pieces of furniture and modern light fixtures dotted about, which complement charming features such as coving, wooden floors and historic fireplaces.
The kitchen space itself is a huge multifunctional room, with glossy white cabinets and a massive rectangular island providing an abundance of storage space. Bi-fold doors provide access to the huge garden.
The five bedrooms are spread across two floors; the first floor houses four of them, along with two bathrooms, and the "loft room" is up another set of stairs.
Outside there is a detached garage accessed from the front with interesting woodwork and windows, providing additional storage space.
To the rear the garden is huge, with bags of potential. It has a large paved patio, as well as a fenced off area with trees.
The house is on the market with Berkeley Shaw for an asking price of £850,000.
Nestled between Crosby and Formby, the affluent village of Hightown is gaining popularity and house prices there have remained steady in a turbulent market. In the last year, properties sold for an average of £331,960 over the last year, similar to the 2017 peak of £334,962.
