Offered for sale with no onward chain is this picturesque stone built end of terraced cottage which is situated on a popular scenic road in Buxworth, adjoining open farmland to the rear and overlooking playing fields and Buxworth Cricket Club fields to the front. To reach this wonderful home which is nestled in the hills of the Peak District, you can either take countryside roads or pass over the canal basin bridge to reach Western Lane, where you can enjoy seeing the many Narrow Boats that dock or even visit the local pub which is also situated by the basin.This property has so much charm to offer, with character features throughout such as its wood burning stove to the dining room, cast iron fireplace in the living room, period style radiators, traditional doors and beautiful cottage style garden with stone walls to the rear. Having previously undergone a double storey extension, the cottage is now exceptionally deceptively spacious internally and it also offers a wonderful loft room/bedroom.
Being traditionally laid out to the ground floor, the property is accessed via a wooden entrance door with stained glass inserts, which leads to a welcoming entrance vestibule with solid Oak wooden flooring that continues as it opens out to the first reception room, the living room. The living room has a beautiful cast iron feature fireplace with pretty floral tiled inserts and a granite hearth, along with having a period style cast iron radiator and tall uPVC double glazed window to the front elevation where views over Buxworth playing/cricket fields can be enjoyed. There is then the dining room which features a wood burning stove to the chimney breast recess with original built in cupboard to the side,period style cast iron radiator and window to the side giving distant views. The dining room has two openings, one through to the country cottage style kitchen which is compact but well equipped, and the other opening leading to the utility area with tiled flooring. Ascending the stairs from the dining room reveals the landing, with continuation of the cast iron railed balustrade and giving access to the first floor bedrooms and bathroom. The principal bedroom is positioned to the front of the property to enjoy the countryside views on offer, with a second bedroom having the countryside views to the side and giving access to a further room which is currently used as an office but could be cleverly partitioned to create a further separate bedroom if needed. The bedrooms are serviced by the first floor bathroom, complete with paneled bath and separate shower, along with a period style wash hand basin and W/C. To the second floor you will find the well sized loft room, with exposed beams and Velux window to the rear, as well as still maintaining useful storage to the eaves.
Externally, the property sits in an elevated position to make the most of the surrounding countryside views, sitting on the corner of Western Lane and having had an additional plot of land purchased by its current owner to create ample off road parking and a further lawned garden to the side with mature apple trees. The front garden is tiered in two sections, with an area having artificial grass for low maintenance then a flagged area leading to the front and side of the property. There is a flagged patio to the immediate rear of the property, offering an ideal space for outdoor entertaining, with a few steps leading to the lawned garden, which passes the garden shed and has flower bed borders to the left hand side, stone walling and a cobbled patio at the very rear.
The property is warmed by gas central heating, complimented further by uPVC double glazing. As mentioned earlier, the property is offered for sale with no onward chain.
