Stepping inside, the sense of history is immediate. original proportions, textural finishes and feature fireplaces reflect the home’s late origins. The dining room provides a warm and welcoming introduction, once the social heart of the home in Victorian times, and still fulfilling that role today. Quarry tiled flooring, character detailing and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor (including temperature controls) creates an inviting setting for entertaining or everyday dining.

Beyond, the Living room offers a more intimate retreat. Centred around a striking brick-built fireplace with log burner, reminiscent of evenings past when the fire would have been the home’s focal point, this reception room also benefits from underfloor heating, blending discreet modern luxury with period atmosphere.

To the rear, the Kitchen/Diner represents a beautiful evolution of the cottage’s timeline. Thoughtfully designed to enhance light and usability, it features a gorgeous bistro-style seating area positioned beneath a skylight window, where natural light pours in throughout the day. It is an idyllic space for morning coffee, relaxed lunches or evening wine. Fitted cabinetry, feature shelving and a Belfast sink honour the cottage aesthetic, while an adjoining utility area ensures practicality remains effortlessly hidden. The Kitchen also benefits from a range of appliances which are included, such as; Fridge/Freezer, Dishwasher, Oven, Induction hob and an integrated Microwave.

Upstairs, two well-proportioned double bedrooms continue the home’s character narrative. Feature fireplace to the main bedroom, traditional detailing and cast-iron cistern radiators echo the Victorian heritage while providing efficient, stylish heating. The bathroom has been fully renovated in keeping with the property’s era, heritage fittings paired with contemporary comfort, including a rain shower over the bath.

The loft space tells its own story of transformation. Once purely functional in 1887, it has since been significantly enhanced, accessed via a widened hatch and fully boarded with fitted flooring, heating and electric,  creating exceptional storage rarely found in cottages of this age.

The front garden, historically a simple lawn, has been reimagined into a smart courtyard setting with patio, perfect for potted plants and seasonal colour, and entirely in keeping with the cottage façade.

To the rear, modern lifestyle needs are effortlessly catered for. A newly installed block paved driveway provides parking for two vehicles, leading to a wooden garage, with a further enclosed garden beyond offering privacy and outdoor enjoyment.

From its beginnings in 1887 to the present day, this Hassall street cottage has never lost its purpose, to provide warmth, comfort and belonging. Carefully preserved, thoughtfully enhanced and beautifully presented, it stands ready to begin its next chapter.
