Full description: GRADE II LISTED 3 DOUBLE BEDROOM DETACHED FAMILY HOME DATING FROM PRE 1770 POSITIONED IN A CONSERVATION AREA ON THE EDGE OF THE GREEN BELT An attractive double fronted detached stone family size home which is a grade II listed building, and has the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors conservation award winning certificate. This character home is believed to date from pre -1770 when it was known to be the local school, hence the twin entrance doors, boys and girls. The location is a particular feature of the property as it is one of a number of similar aged pretty cottage properties that made up the hamlet conservation area of Firwood Fold, (birth place of Samuel Crompton) with its own small village common. The property has recently undergone tasteful renovations that include a new kitchen with an Aga and a new bathroom suite. Features of the cottage are stone flooring to the ground floor, generously sized rooms, beamed ceilings, exposed stone work and gas combi central heating system. The accommodation on offer briefly comprises: twin large entrance doors, dining room, lounge with wood burning stove, recently professionally fitted kitchen, external utility room, landing, three double sized bedrooms and a white three piece bathroom suite. To the rear is a good size very private garden with an abundance of shrubs, trees and bushes. The property also benefits from two garages All in all a very attractive detached stone residence of unique character set in lovely surroundings adjacent to greenbelt fields, the river and lodge, whilst being within easy access to the train station, local schools, shops, and the town centre. In our opinion internal inspection is essential to appreciate all this charming home has to offer, this can be arranged by appointment, with our Bolton office.
