Description

This charming cottage, held within the same family for many years, presents a unique opportunity to transform a character-rich property in a sought-after countryside setting. The layout features three generously sized double bedrooms upstairs, accompanied by a bathroom, while the ground floor comprises a dining kitchen with an industrial spiral staircase, an expansive garden room, and a primary reception area. Distinctive internal elements such as original wooden beams and a traditional open fire with dual ovens underscore the property's historical value. Although this home has been well-maintained, it is clear that some modernisation is essential to unlock its full potential. The location offers stunning views over open fields and hills at the front, though it's important to note that the rear garden is adjacent to the motorway—adaptations have been made to mitigate any noise. With its proximity to both rural amenities and urban conveniences like Westhoughton and Horwich's market towns and easy transport links to Bolton and Manchester, this property is worth considering for those looking for investment opportunities or personal renovation projects.
