Churchtown-Chase Heys Cottage

Churchtown-Chase Heys Cottage is a two-bedroom terraced property set entirely on the ground floor in the village of Churchtown, on Sefton's northern edge near Southport. Everything you need for self-catering is provided: a kitchen with gas hob and oven, dishwasher, fridge and microwave; a living room with wood burner and smart TV; two double bedrooms; and a shower room. Wifi, electricity, bed linen, towels and initial fuel for the wood burner are all included, so you arrive ready to settle in. One car can park on site, and there's an enclosed rear garden with seating and tables.

The cottage suits couples, small families and friends, and one dog stays free. The village itself has specialist shops, cafes and pubs within walking distance. Southport beach is roughly a 30-minute walk away, while the town centre's Victorian Lord Street offers wider shopping, dining and entertainment. Nearby are Royal Birkdale golf course, Formby's rare red squirrels, and coastal bird-watching spots. Southport has a theatre, parks and Splash World; regular events include fireworks displays, air shows and festivals. Liverpool is about an hour's drive; Chester, Manchester and Preston are all reachable by car. No smoking inside the property.
