Charming two-bed cottage with woodland views and a pretty garden, ideal for peaceful downsizing.
End stone cottage with original character features and stone fireplace
This stone-built two-bedroom cottage offers compact, characterful living in a quiet fringe setting between Ramsbottom and Strongstry. The lounge centres on a stone fireplace and exposed features; a fitted dining kitchen and two bedrooms make the layout practical for a small household or downsizer. The property is freehold and warmed by mains gas central heating.
The front enjoys pleasant woodland aspects and the rear has a pretty cottage-style garden with patio areas and two stone outbuildings for storage. The house is tucked away from traffic and close to country walks, the East Lancashire Steam Railway and local amenities — ideal for someone seeking tranquillity with easy access to town facilities.
Buyers should note the house is small (approx. 578 sq ft) with low ceilings in places and an older stone construction that likely has no wall insulation. Double glazing is fitted but the installation date is unknown. Broadband and mobile coverage are limited in parts; broadband speeds are reported slow locally. These factors are reflected in a modest asking price, making the cottage suitable for those comfortable with compact living or light upgrading to improve energy efficiency.
Overall, the cottage will appeal to buyers who value period character, a quiet setting and low external maintenance. It also offers potential for targeted improvements (insulation, modern connectivity) to increase comfort and long-term value.
