A massive house set on huge swathes of land has gone on the market in a small village near Merseyside.

The four-bed, two-bath property is on Black Moor Road in the picturesque village of Mawdesley, near the likes of Ormskirk and Burscough. If country living is something you're after, this could be the perfect location; Mawdesley is isolated from public transport and has no main roads.

Not only does the listing include a home where accommodation spans more than 2,000 sq ft, it also sits on about 1.35 acres of land and has its very own paddock. The striking white house is at the top of a sloping cobblestone and pebble driveway, featuring a pitched roof and trendy charcoal double glazing. It is understood to have been built in 1927.

The ground floor has three reception rooms, including a living room and dining room with French doors.

The snug and kitchen has been knocked through to provide a large open plan space, with a modern central island and cosy log burner. Elsewhere is a utility room and a WC.

Two of the five bedrooms upstairs are en-suite and sit alongside a family shower room and ample storage space.

The grounds are lush and green, arranged as a long strip and surrounded by woodland on one side. There is also additional garage space which could be converted into an annexe or a home gym, subject to planning permission.

Prior to this, a property last changed hands on the road in 2016.
