Part of the Lytham St Annes historic heritage this cottage of immense charm and quite authentic character was built before 1800. It is believed that the property was originally the main farmhouse of the district called 'The Hill'. On a date unknown the property was converted into two cottages and remained so for many years. Though, subsequently restored to its original and current configuration as a single four bedroomed detached dwelling standing on a plot of approximately two acres with stunning lawned gardens and open rural views. Hill Cottage is accessed through electric double opening gates with a feature long sweeping driveway and is an outstanding character property in a prime semi rural location within very easy access of the M55 motorway, Lytham St Annes centres and all the Fylde coast has to offer.
