About this property

A beautiful, period cottage dating back to approximately 1750, this delightful dwelling is one of the oldest properties in Ormskirk, boasting an enclosed front garden and rear courtyard, welcomes two well-behaved dogs, and is sat directly opposite Ormskirk Parish Church, one of only three churches in England to have both a tower and spire at the same end of the structure!
