Set in the much sought-after Grape Lane Conservation Area, this handsome and beautifully presented, double-fronted cottage offers period style alongside contemporary touches. Within, the light and comfortable accommodation includes a stone flagged sitting room with reading area, well-appointed dining kitchen, two double bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom. A paved sun terrace sits to the rear and a cobble path leads to the pretty cottage garden beyond and the cottage is positioned just a short walk to the village amenities and renowned local schools.
The Grape Lane Conservation Area is one of the most sought after and prettiest of settings in the Lancashire and this charming white rendered cottage is positioned amidst an array of similarly appealing cottages. The arched front door opens into the immaculately presented sitting room filled with natural light from the two windows to the front and the French windows of the reading niche to the rear. The retained and added features, such as exposed timber ceiling beams and the stone flagged floors, create a comfortable aura and the eye is drawn to the full-height exposed brick fireplace with limestone lintel surround and log burning stove set on a raised stone flagged hearth. A timber, broad-spindle staircase rises to the first floor and an opening gives access to the dining kitchen.
The dual aspect dining kitchen has a good range of Neptune Driftwood shaded wall and base cabinets having oak work-surfaces over to include a breakfast bar, an inset porcelain sink unit with mixer tap and having white subway splash tiling beyond. The Flavel Milano 100 8-ring gas range cooker has a tiled splash-back with stainless steel chimney style extractor fan over. Integrated appliances include a Whirlpool dishwasher, fridge freezer, plumbing for a washing machine and a corner cupboard houses the wall mounted Potterton Gold gas central heating combination boiler.
The split-level landing has a ceiling light, a loft hatch and gives way to the two good-sized double bedrooms. Lit by pendant lights, both elegantly presented bedrooms overlook Grape Lane, have vertical panel oak doors and the principal bedroom benefits from a built-in wardrobe.
With an opaque side window, the bathroom is fully tiled in both white marble-effect porcelain plus a hexagonal feature wall forming the backdrop to the contemporary white three-piece suite which comprises a panelled bath with shower and protective glass screen over, a vanity set wash basin with monobloc tap, and a back-to-wall w.c.
The secluded, flagged terrace to the rear has an outside tap and is ideal for container planting and al fresco dining. Just beyond, a cobbled pathway leads to the private lawn garden which has a wrought-iron entrance gate and arbour set into the rose laden trellis-work. Enclosed by privet and laurel hedging plus fenced boundaries, the main part of the garden is laid to lawn with a circular paved and pebbled base offering space for a table and chairs and further relaxation whilst watching the sun set. The surrounding borders have mature shrub and herbaceous planting, there is a specimen holly tree, log store and an excellent garden shed.
