- Modern fitted kitchen-diner with integrated appliances

A charming two-bedroom terraced cottage set on the edge of open countryside in the village of Water. The living room feels warm and welcoming with a central log burner in a brick inglenook, period mouldings and wood floors, while the modern blue kitchen-diner offers integrated appliances and room for a small dining table. The private, paved rear courtyard directly borders fields, delivering uninterrupted rural views and a calm outdoor space that’s low maintenance.
Upstairs are two well-proportioned bedrooms and a luxury four-piece bathroom finished to a contemporary standard — a rare feature at this price point. The house is an attractive proposition for a first-time buyer seeking character combined with ready-to-use modern conveniences; total internal area is about 663 sq ft and the EPC is rated D.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is solid brick and was likely constructed before 1900, with double glazing fitted after 2002 and mains gas central heating to radiators. There is limited garden space (courtyard only) and the mid-terrace form means immediate outdoor privacy is modest, though the rear opens onto countryside. Current condition is described as beautifully presented but buyers should note the assumed lack of wall insulation in solid brick sections if energy upgrades are planned.
Located in a quiet village with good primary schools nearby and easy road links to Rawtenstall and Bacup, this cottage suits commuters who prefer rural living without isolation. Council Tax band A and freehold tenure add to running-cost appeal, making this a pragmatic, characterful starter home with scope to personalise further.
