Quirky cottage near waterfront for sale

A quirky cottage within walking distance of one of Merseyside's most iconic waterfront spots has gone on the market.

Magazine Brow in Wallasey, on the Wirral, is a stone's throw from New Brighton's Promenade and the area's picturesque Vale Park. The sloping stretch of road is lined with mature trees and quirky period houses.

The striking home for sale towers above its neighbours and oozes kerb appeal.

The two-bedroom, one-bathroom house is on the market with estate agent Purplebricks for £290,000.

In the listing, Purplebricks said the cottage "has recently undergone a no expense spared renovation" and would be "perfect for a range of buyers" such as "downsizers, first time buyers or small families".

The downstairs living area has a quirky shape but has been opened up to maximise space and has a number of charming period features.

These include exposed beams, stone feature walls, a log burner, bare brick fire surrounds and tall windows. The classic décor includes neutral colours and hardwood furniture, offset by statement sofas in a rich blue.

The kitchen/diner is at the rear of the property and features a statement brick wall and patio doors leading out into the generous garden.

Upstairs, the cosy bedrooms also feature exposed beams and are a decent size. The master even includes its own dressing room.

House prices in New Brighton are on the up. According to Rightmove, the overall average in the last year was £226,268.
