Sandstone cottage from 1800s transformed into modern home

A quaint sandstone cottage in an exclusive Merseyside coastal suburb has been listed for sale.

The charming end of the terrace is set within Dawpool Farm in Thurstaston, on the Wirral. Thurstaston is known for its stunning beach and its proximity to the likes of Caldy, an exclusive address home to the region's footballing royalty.

The two-up, two-down property is cosy, compact and dripping with character. A shared cobbled driveway provides an entrance to the former farm and is now lined with potted plants.

The kitchen provides a modern contrast to the home's exterior, with glossy black cabinets, metallic worktops and neutral tiles. The storage space is plentiful and makes the most of the room.

The relaxing lounge is to the rear of the home and boasts a log burner with an exposed flue. The double aspect ceiling is also a talking point, and lets in lots of natural light.

The owners have made the most of the cosy space, dividing it with a small dining room table. Elsewhere on the ground floor is a small WC. Upstairs there are two generously proportioned bedrooms with exposed beams and a family bathroom.

The property also boasts communal fields, offering plenty of outdoor space.

According to the Rightmove listing, the "prestigious residential development" in a former 19th century working farm has "a magnificent range of sandstone buildings which have been skilfully converted into individual and characterful homes".

The cottage is on the market with Karl Tatler for offers in the region of £350,000. The agent hailed it as "special and unique".

Properties in Thurstaston had an overall average price of £492,500 over the last year. The figure was a 17% rise on the previous 12 months, but 58% lower than the 2011 peak of £1.17m.
