Characterful two-bed home near shops, schools and countryside walks.
Backing onto Egerton Cricket Club with direct gated access
A deceptively spacious mid-terraced Victorian cottage tucked on Longworth Road, directly backing onto Egerton Cricket Club. The house feels larger than it looks from the street thanks to a rear extension, generous kitchen-diner and a converted loft used for storage rather than a formal bedroom. Original wooden floorboards, shaker-style kitchen units and a log-burner-style focal point give the home character while modern comforts include double glazing and a gas boiler with radiators.
The layout suits a couple or small family who value village life and easy access to countryside walks, local cafés, pubs and good schools. Both bedrooms are doubles with pleasant views to front and rear; the family bathroom is a substantial 3–4 piece room. The rear courtyard is low-maintenance with a deck, flagged patio, raised beds, pergola and shed, and a gate provides direct access onto the cricket pitch — ideal for children or outdoor socialising.
Practical notes: the loft is converted for storage rather than living accommodation, and the mid-terrace footprint means outside space is compact. The property dates from the early 20th century and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, which may mean improvement works to upgrade thermal efficiency. Image notes also mention potential damp in parts of the brick facade — an inspection is recommended where relevant.
In short, this is a characterful village cottage that blends period detail with functional living spaces, excellent connectivity to Manchester and Blackburn, and a rare direct link to a community cricket ground. Buyers looking for a ready-to-live-in home with modest outside space, and those willing to consider targeted energy upgrades, will find genuine appeal here.
