3 bed cottage for sale

Alder Lane, Knowsley L34

Detailed Description

Nestled in the heart of the highly sought-after Knowsley Village, this exceptional three-bedroom character cottage on Alder Lane offers an enchanting blend of historic charm, luxurious finishes, and breathtaking outdoor space-creating a truly rare and inspiring opportunity. Tucked away in a tranquil, secluded position just off Knowsley Lane, the home is approached via remotely operated, solid Iroko hardwood gates that open to a generous driveway finished in a combination of golden gravel and yellow limestone paving. This vast space accommodates multiple vehicles and leads to a striking oak-framed outbuilding, originally designed to house a classic car. Finished with solid Brazilian slate flooring and benefiting from underfloor heating throughout, being detached, this structure is currently being utilised as a multifunctional space - currently used as an office enabling the current owners to work from home, a home cinema and music room allowing enjoyment in the evenings and weekends by the family as a whole.

The outdoor grounds are a true highlight and rival the interior in beauty and functionality. Surrounded by mature planting and lawns, the garden features a purpose-built timber shed now used as a home gym, a hexagonal gazebo designed as a ‘Tiki Bar’ with a hidden bin and bike store, and an outstanding garden kitchen-perfectly set up for al fresco dining and entertaining. A large stone-paved patio in rich “Saga Black” tumbled stone provides the ideal space for gatherings, all set against a backdrop of serene greenery that offers complete privacy and a sense of calm that is hard to find.

Stepping inside, the cottage-believed to be around 200 years old-immediately welcomes with its warm, country charm and carefully preserved period details. The porch opens into a beautifully appointed kitchen, where Jerusalem limestone flooring with underfloor heating, solid granite worktops, a bespoke oak peninsula, and a magnificent brick inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove and oak beam create a space that is both rustic and refined. The adjoining living room continues this ambience, featuring another inglenook fireplace with a cast-iron stove and floating oak beam, while a bespoke built-in dining booth provides stylish seating and hidden storage, comfortably accommodating six guests.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with three generously sized double bedrooms, each thoughtfully arranged to enhance space and light. The luxurious family bathroom is finished to a superb standard and includes an integrated television-offering a relaxing retreat after a long day. Every element of this home has been carefully considered to marry the charm of its heritage with the comfort of modern living.

Despite its wonderfully secluded location, the cottage remains incredibly well connected. Just a short drive brings you to Prescot Town Centre and the Cables Retail Park, offering a wide range of amenities, shops, and eateries. Excellent transport links, including the M57 motorway and A580 East Lancashire Road, are also within easy reach-making this peaceful haven an ideal base for commuters and families alike.

*Please note the oak framed structure has planning permission for a garage and is therefore not being sold as a habitable space
