7 CHURCH ROAD

If you are looking for a cottage or character home with a large private garden within a village setting then look no further than Old Church Cottage for this boasts all the above and much more besides. The gardens are a notable highlight and measure over 220ft from front to rear with the whole plot extending to approximately 0.17 acres and enjoying pleasant outlooks towards St Stephens Church. They have been renovated with extensive ground works and drainage installed by our clients and also feature a substantial driveway leading to a large, new brick built garage designed to accommodate a caravan or mobile home plus a substantial garden room/conservatory to the rear. The property has been undergoing extensive improvements in recent years including a new gable wall and repointing, adding a substantial extension to the rear and remodelling including installing a new staircase. The lounge, downstairs bathroom and kitchen have all been re-plastered and contemporary high gloss units have been fitted in the kitchen and a wood burner added in the lounge. However, the property still requires some further cosmetic upgrading which has been reflected in its competitive asking price. The property sits right in the centre of Banks which is a large coastal village in Lancashire, England. Within walking distance of the local primary school and near the pretty St Stephens church, it lies south of the Ribble Estuary and four miles (6 km) north-east of Southport. The village has regular bus services linking it with Southport, Formby, Crosby, Bootle, Liverpool, and Preston and the close proximity of Southport and Preston have led to Banks' expansion as a dormitory town for commuters meaning that the village has significantly increased its size and population in recent years whilst retaining its quint village feel.
