Summary - 47 WASHINGTON LANE, EUXTON PR7 6DQ
4 bed 2 bath End of Terrace
Spacious period home with countryside views and annex potential.
Late-1500s stone cottage with exposed beams and historic character
End Cottage is a rare, late-1500s stone property offering around 1,500 sq ft of versatile family accommodation and far-reaching countryside views. The house blends authentic period features — exposed beams, traditional stone walls and timber character — with contemporary upgrades such as an open-plan dining/family space, modern kitchen appliances and solar panels that produce income via a feed-in tariff.
Set on a generous plot with mature trees, lawn, redwood decking and a driveway for three vehicles leading to an integral garage, the layout works well for family life. Ground-floor living includes a large living room with a living-flame gas fire, spacious dining/family area with patio doors to the garden, plus a separate laundry room that could be reconfigured into a self-contained annex for multi-generational use or guest accommodation.
There are four bedrooms and two bathrooms arranged over two floors, with a cosy first-floor reading area. Practical benefits include double glazing, mains gas central heating and an American-style integrated vacuum system. The house has been well cared for by the same family for generations and presents a good base for a buyer seeking character with scope to modernise and personalise.
Buyers should note practical limitations: broadband speeds are slow, the traditional stone walls are assumed to have no insulation, and the single-storey wing will require planning/works if fully converted to independent living. EPC C and council tax band D reflect the current efficiency and running costs. Overall this property will suit purchasers who value historic character, outdoor space and countryside outlook, and who are prepared for targeted updating rather than a fully turnkey move-in.
