LOOK inside this stunning home on the market housed in a former grammar school from the 1600s.
Inside this Prescot Road sandstone three-bedroom cottage, is modern living weaved with the history of the property.
Originally a grammar school from circa 1684 to 1775, this property later became the residence of the Eccleston family until 1828. It then reopened as a school until 1877.
The twentieth century saw numerous alterations, transforming it into a pair of semi-detached sandstone cottages with stone-slate and Welsh slate roofs.
