Set on Upper Green in St Helens, this stone cottage dates back to 1750 and combines historic character with generous outdoor space. Rooms are naturally bright and feature original fireplaces, parquet and exposed beams that create a welcoming family home. The layout includes formal sitting and dining rooms, a kitchen with garden access, a ground-floor study and a shower room for flexible day-to-day living.
The property offers five bedrooms (four large doubles plus a dressing room/study) and a family bathroom on the first floor. Living spaces feel cozy and authentic, though some ceilings are lower than modern standards. Practical benefits include a detached double garage, driveway parking for several vehicles and mains gas central heating.
The mature gardens extend to about 0.22 acres with lawns, well-stocked borders, greenhouse, insulated summerhouse, sheds and a wooden gazebo — ideal for children, entertaining or productive planting. The cottage enjoys village-green and countryside views towards Culver Downs, while village amenities, a primary school and the beach are within easy walking distance.
There are some practical considerations: the stone cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so energy performance could be improved. Council tax is above average. For a family seeking character, space and a prime village location, this cottage offers scope to modernise sensitively while preserving period charm.
