This double-fronted stone cottage in Pleckgate Fold offers traditional character with practical family living. Exposed beams, a stone fireplace and original details give the house strong period appeal, while double glazing and gas central heating provide everyday comfort. The layout includes two reception rooms, three bedrooms and three bathrooms — useful for families or guests — plus a large attic space with conversion potential (subject to consents).
Outside, the property sits on a decent plot with a large front garden and allocated off-street parking. The location is family-friendly: Pleckgate High School is nearby and several well-rated primary schools are within easy reach. Local amenities including shops, a pub and a hairdresser are a short walk away.
There are a few practical points to note. The stone walls were built before 1900 and are assumed to be uninsulated, so heating costs could be higher than modern construction. Crime in the area is reported as above average; buyers should consider security measures. The attic, while sizeable, will need planning and conversion work to become habitable. Council Tax is band D and the property is freehold.
Overall, this cottage will suit buyers who value period character and garden space, and who are prepared to carry out modest improvements to maximise energy efficiency and attic potential. Its size and three bathrooms make it especially convenient for growing families seeking a spacious, characterful home in Blackburn.
