Description

This quaint cottage, situated in a picturesque rural setting near Whitworth village, presents an exciting opportunity for those looking to invest in a smallholding with substantial potential for expansion (subject to planning permissions). Spanning approximately 0.75 acres, the property includes a large garden that has previously been divided into three paddocks, along with grazing rights over adjacent moorland extending to 100 acres. Featuring three well-proportioned double bedrooms and modern comforts paired with historical charm—dating back to 1788—this home is perfect for anyone wanting a serene escape from urban life. The interior is characterized by an inviting atmosphere enhanced by natural light flooding through spacious living areas. The recently fitted kitchen boasts top-of-the-line NEFF appliances while keeping the character intact with multi-fuel burners and an attractive fireplace in the master bedroom. Additionally, the modern family bathroom has been upgraded for comfort. Outside, you’ll find a beautifully maintained garden with varied seating options to fully appreciate the stunning panoramic views of Lobden golf course and beyond towards the Peak District. Storage will never be an issue thanks to the attached double garage, three outbuildings, and cellar. With previous inhabitants such as ducks, chickens, and goats benefiting from this idyllic location, there is ample scope for further development or landscaping projects tailored to your vision—making this property ideal for families or individuals eager to embrace rural living with investment flair.
