Hallsworth Fold Cottage is a rare, character-filled detached home set in circa 3 acres in the quiet village of Heath Charnock. The late 1600s cottage blends exposed beams, stone elevations and cast-iron fireplaces with practical modern comforts such as gas central heating and double glazing (installation date unknown). The house offers substantial living space of approximately 3,115 sq ft across multiple floors — ideal for a growing family or buyers seeking room for hobbies and home working.
The plot is a major asset: gated courtyard parking, a brick outbuilding, a stable block and a paddock with direct stable access make this property particularly suitable for equestrian use. There is also an additional parcel of land across the lane and a pond at the paddock’s far end, providing seclusion and notable privacy in an affluent rural setting while remaining within reach of Chorley and regional road and rail links.
Internally the layout is flexible: a large L-shaped lounge/diner, separate dining room, country kitchen with Aga, cosy snug with log burner, study, utility and a family room give multiple living options. Four well-proportioned bedrooms include a master with fitted wardrobes and a four-piece ensuite; a separate family bathroom serves the other bedrooms. The property’s character features are strong selling points for buyers prioritising period charm.
Important practical points: the Energy Performance Certificate is D. Broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect those needing fast home internet. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Prospective buyers should note some maintenance and modernization opportunities to bring services and finishes fully up to contemporary standards. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale and potential of the house and grounds.
