Set within a large, private plot just off Winstanley Road, this detached stone cottage combines original character with substantial scope for improvement. Formerly two cottages, it retains exposed beams, fireplaces and cottage-style interiors across 2,607 sq ft, while a sizable single-storey pool-room extension offers flexible space for recreation or conversion. The paddock and stables make the property particularly suitable for equestrian use or anyone wanting outdoor space for animals.
The ground floor layout includes three reception rooms, a fitted kitchen and the large pool room/extension; upstairs are four bedrooms served by a single principal bathroom. The house requires modernisation throughout, so buyers should budget for updating kitchens, bathrooms, and general finishes to unlock the property’s full potential. There is clear scope to extend further (rear/side) subject to planning — a practical option for growing families or those seeking to add value.
Practical considerations: broadband is very slow here and council tax is high. The property is freehold, flood risk is low and crime levels are very low, and off-street parking is provided by a generous driveway. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the mature gardens, stables, paddock and the rare combination of rural plot and accessible local amenities and schools.
