The house

A 7-bedroom home in Prescot.

KO1148 - Surrounded by open lawns and mature woodland, this Georgian country home offers a wonderful sense of calm, space and permanence. Its architecture, setting and original heritage features create a residence that generates versatility for modern family life while still preserving its original character.

The Property

Once home to Admiral Hornby and forming part of the Earl of Derby’s estate, Knowsley Cottage dates back to around 1820 and is a distinguished period residence offering over 5,500 sq ft of elegant accommodation. The home retains an abundance of original Georgian features including sash windows, ornate architrave and coving, ceiling roses, picture rails, arched doorways and original fireplaces, all combining to produce interiors rich in character and authenticity.

The scale of the accommodation allows the house to function effortlessly as a substantial family home, with multiple reception rooms providing flexibility for entertaining and relaxed living. Seven bedrooms and four generously proportioned bathrooms are arranged to offer excellent adaptability, with the layout lending itself naturally to the creation of larger bedroom suites with dressing rooms and ensuite facilities if desired. 

Beyond the main house, the original oubuildings provide substantial space with possible potential for further accommodation, garaging, workspace or leisure use, subject to the necessary consents. Together with its established grounds, Knowsley Cottage offers a historic country residence with the space and flexibility to adapt and evolve over time.
