A ‘stunning’ cottage has come on the market in Merseyside, that sits on a historic development Dawpool Farm.
Named Ingle Wood House, the property is found within the former Dawpool Estate that was once purchased by Thomas Henry Ismay the owner of the prestigious White Star Line whose Liverpool based fleet was to include the Titanic. A country house was originally built in the late 1880s but later demolished in the 1920s.
Parts of the original estate were saved however, and reused as lodges and stables. These are now Grade II listed and still found within the estate.
