A beautiful stone cottage right in the heart of the village of Adlington. This property offers period style and modern features throughout with good sized living accommodation which includes a large main living room, a recently installed kitchen, and a spacious master bedroom. Its central location is excellent and the property offers ample parking.
Approach
Accessed over a double width pavement the main entrance to the cottage is through a recently updated and tastefully coloured cottage style uPVC double glazed door. The door opens conveniently into the large main living room.
Living room
The main living room measures almost four meters by four meters, which means there is plenty of room for all of your furniture. It will comfortably accommodate a very large corner settee, storage cabinets, a large coffee table and occasional use items of furniture. The living room features exposed oak beams, the original stone paved floor which has been re-laid above a new membrane, and a feature fire place which currently houses an electric stove-style fire, however, behind the decorative insert is the original and complete fireplace which can be utilised if required. The living room is finished with a feature papered wall, newly installed fitted blinds, matching ceilings lights and walls lights, and a new period-style column radiator.
Kitchen
The kitchen has undergone a full refurbishment including all electrics, plumbing, flooring and ceiling. The kitchen is now bright and well equipped, a Howdens kitchen has been installed, along with marble effect work surfaces and dark sage coloured tiled splashbacks. Under cabinet lighting and in cabinet down lights improve both the ambience and practicality of the kitchen. The current owner has also installed a new electric oven, a ceramic hob and a stylish black washing machine that compliments the black resin sink and the blackened copper door handles and knobs. Aside the modern aluminium vertical radiator is a table for two, where you can enjoy an evening meal together, catch up with your emails or plan your next holiday!
Bedrooms
The cottage has two bedrooms, the master is located at the front of the property. It follows the floor plan of the living, therefore it is another very well-proportioned room. This master bedroom will comfortably accommodate a super king-size bed, along with wardrobes, bedside cabinets and a dressing table. Newly installed blinds, carpet, light fittings and another period-style radiator really do finish off this room beautifully.
Bedroom two is located at the rear of the property, it will comfortably accommodate a single bed and another small item of furniture. This room would make a perfect home office or nursery. It also benefits from new blinds, carpet and radiator.
Bathroom
The bathroom is another well-proportioned room and is fitted with a large corner shower cubicle, a large sink set within a modern grey vanity unit and a toilet which is set within a matching unit which houses the concealed cistern. A new vertical towel radiator has been installed along with good quality vinyl cushion flooring.
External
At the rear of the property there is good sized courtyard with gated access to the rear parking area. The rear garden also offers a brick-built storage shed and an external water supply.
Out and about
The village centre is just a short stroll away with many local amenities on hand. Several pubs, cafes and eateries are within walking distance and both the local Co-op and Tesco Express are less than a five minute walk away.
Public transport connections are simple, the main 125 Bolton-Chorley-Preston route runs past the property and Adlington train station is just another short walk away.
The M61 can be reached both from Horwich to the South and from Chorley to the North. The closest M6 junction would be Standish (J27) which is approximately a ten minute drive.
The area is blessed with beautiful local countryside whether a leisurely stroll along the canal towards Haigh Hall or towards Fredericks where you can enjoy a famous and award-winning ice cream, or a slightly more taxing hike to the Pike with a number of eateries and public houses en-route which make the experience even more enjoyable.
