A Truly Unique Piece of Formby History

Believed to date back to the 14th Century, this remarkable thatched cottage is believed to be the only remaining property of its kind within Formby from this period, offering a truly rare opportunity to own a piece of local history.

Set within an impressive ¼-acre plot, this exceptional home perfectly combines the character and charm of its original period features with the space, style and convenience of a modern 1980s extension.

The striking thatched façade creates an unforgettable first impression, with a generous front driveway and beautifully established front garden leading to the welcoming porch. The property has also recently been re-thatched and fireproofed, with the new thatch expected to have a lifespan of approximately 60–80 years when regularly inspected and properly maintained, providing an important investment in the future of this extraordinary home.

Inside, the original living room is packed with character, featuring exposed wooden beams believed to have originally come from a ship. These remarkable beams are Grade II Listed, adding further historical significance and character to an already exceptional room, alongside a stunning feature fireplace with log burner. Stairs lead to a useful loft room, adding further versatility.

The beautiful period dining room continues the theme, with further exposed beams and another impressive fireplace. A modern fitted kitchen sits adjacent, alongside a convenient downstairs shower room and stairs leading to a double bedroom above the dining room.

Moving into the modern extension, the property takes on a completely different feel, with a fantastic second lounge featuring an impressive skylight and French doors opening directly onto the garden.

The exceptional master bedroom is a true standout, offering generous proportions, Velux windows, French doors opening onto the garden and a stylish modern en-suite. Two further double bedrooms provide excellent accommodation, complemented by a sleek family bathroom and useful utility room leading through to the garage.

Outside, the rear garden is a wonderfully private space, incorporating a patio, lawn and raised decking area, together with a charming pond and water feature — creating a peaceful setting to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

With its extraordinary 14th Century origins, Grade II Listed beams, recently renewed and fireproofed thatched roof, iconic thatched façade, ¼-acre plot and contemporary extension, this is a home quite unlike anything else on the market.

Situated on Park Road in Formby, the property is ideally positioned close to Formby Village, local amenities and an excellent selection of highly regarded primary and secondary schools.

A truly one-of-a-kind cottage where centuries of history meet modern family living, offering a rare opportunity to become the custodian of a remarkable piece of Formby’s heritage.
