Description

A quintessential Grade II listed thatched cottage, White Cottage is one of Freshfield’s most recognisable landmarks — a charming 16th-century property that has evolved over the centuries, blending period character with sympathetic modern adaptation.

Perfectly located just moments from The Freshfield Pub and within easy walking distance of Freshfield Station, this unique home captures the timeless appeal of village life with a generous garden plot extending to the rear.

Behind the distinctive thatched elevations lies a warm and inviting interior with exposed beams, rustic brickwork and a striking vaulted ceiling to the kitchen/dining room. The accommodation flows naturally from the cosy kitchen and characterful lounge with inglenook fireplace through to the rear hallway serving the ground floor bedrooms or reception rooms, depending on your desired configuration, through to the bright glass-walled garden room, which opens onto a large stone terrace and mature lawned garden.

The ground floor also provides a modern shower room featuring on-trend tiling and contemporary fittings. The first floor provides a further bedroom suite and dressing space, tucked beneath the original roof timbers, tucked beneath the original roof timbers and full of charm.

The property also benefits from a detached double-bay garage, block-paved driveway, and delightful cottage gardens enclosed by a traditional painted fence.

Set in one of Formby’s most desirable and convenient locations, this historic home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of local heritage — combining character, comfort, and a setting that embodies the very best of Freshfield living.

About Stephanie Macnab Estate Agents, Formby

9 The Beacons, School Lane, Formby, L37 3LN.

Stephanie Macnab ARLA MNAEA

Stephanie began her career in property in 1993 and quickly established herself in the industry. By 1998 she was managing and opening new offices for one of the region’s largest independent agencies, with responsibility across South Liverpool, Liverpool City Centre, and Southport. Rising through the ranks, she became a partner at one of Southport’s most respected firms before founding her own business. Today, Stephanie brings over 30 years of experience and is recognised as a trusted leader in residential sales and lettings, holding professional accreditation with Property Mark.

Simon Wall FRICS MNAEA

Simon started his property career in Southport in 1989 before moving to Liverpool to head the property management division at one of the region’s leading firms of chartered surveyors and estate agents. He became a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (FRICS) in 2000 – one of the youngest in the country at the time – and was appointed managing partner of his firm the same year. With deep expertise in valuations, development, and professional property services, Simon has built a reputation for integrity and knowledge spanning more than three decades.

Our Agency

Stephanie Macnab Estate Agents, part of Wall & Macnab Ltd, was founded by husband-and-wife team Stephanie and Simon with a clear vision: to bring together the best of traditional estate agency values with the innovation and efficiency of modern technology.

From day one, the focus has been on offering a professional yet personal service – transparent, flexible, and designed to achieve the very best results for our clients, with an over riding principle, Service without Compromise.

That ethos has delivered outstanding success. Today, we are proud to be recognised as Formby’s No.1 Estate Agent across every key Rightmove metric – new instructions, sales agreed, and percentage of asking price achieved – not just in Formby but across the wider areas we cover, from Southport and Banks to Crosby and Maghull. Our results consistently outpace the competition, and we are proud to be an award-winning agency, trusted by more clients than any other in our area.

In an age where some agencies have moved online, we have deliberately chosen to retain a High Street presence, providing a calm and private space for clients to discuss what is often their most valuable asset. This combination of personal service, market-leading results, and award-winning recognition has established us as the area’s leading estate agency – and the first choice for sellers, buyers, landlords, and tenants.
