Semi-detached house for sale in Broadhurst Lane, Wrightington WN6

“Chocolate box pretty”, this exquisite cottage is set on a peaceful, leafy lane, on a generous plot of approximately half an acre and enjoys absolutely breath-taking rural aspects over farmland towards Winter Hill. The accommodation comprises entrance porch, lounge, study/bedroom four, superb living dining kitchen, three further first floor bedrooms and a bathroom. Outside, there is driveway parking for several cars, a detached single garage with power and light, and both terrace and lawn gardens which lead to a composite clad garden room. In addition, across the road, there is a lengthy paddock with chicken run and hen cabins, timber shed and log store.

A stone-built porch with slate roof and two side windows surrounds a white composite door with glass diamond inset and opens to reveal a painted settle to sit on and kick off muddy boots.

An inner glazed door opens to the comfortably spacious lounge having a window to the front with amazing views and lit by spotlights strategically attached to the exposed ceiling beams for evening ambience. A full height stone-built ingle fireplace enfolds a multi-fuel burning stove resting on a stone hearth and having a television point to the side. There are two stone and beam edged display niches to the walls and an open tread staircase rises to the first floor. An opening gives way to the study/bedroom four and a further stone arch leads through to the dining kitchen.

The study has a rear window, ceiling light and a traditional style radiator. This versatile space, currently a home office, has previously been used as a guest room for family and friends.

Stone steps descend to the dual aspect, stone flagged, L-shaped living-dining-kitchen with the dining-kitchen area having windows to the front and rear and French doors to the garden. The characterful space has exposed beams, stone corbels, a full height stone fireplace with cast iron mantle and inset log stores and surrounds a log burning stove. All showcased by three wall lights and two pendant lights, the bespoke, solid wood range of wall and base units incorporate drawers, glazed display cabinets, a plate rack, basket storage and an island unit. The oak work-surfaces have an etched drainer alongside the Rangemaster porcelain twin-bowl sink unit with French style mixer tap over and the integrated dishwasher sits close by. A cream coloured two-oven gas Aga takes care of the cooking and as a hand-made tile splash-back and cabinets to either side.

The stone flagged floor continues into the living room with a pendant light suspended from the vaulted ceiling, two sizeable Velux windows, windows to the front and rear and sliding patio doors to the rear – filling the room with natural light. There is a full-height apex stone feature wall, more than ample space for a lounge suite and an ingle houses a further log burning stove which is supplemented by a radiator.

From the kitchen, steps rise to the utility room with a combined window and door to the garden, recessed down-lights and a further built-in settle with storage. Cream cabinets are fitted to coordinate with the kitchen and provide space for the washing machine, tumble dryer and the Worcester Bosch gas central heating boiler.

A door from the utility opens to the shower room with opaque rear window, recessed down-lights, extractor fan and a wall-mounted chrome ladder heated towel rail. The white suite comprises a cubicle with glazed folding door and Mira Excel unit, a wall-mounted wash hand basin and a back-to-wall w.c.

The split-level first floor landing has a rear window with deep sill seat, exposed wall beams, a traditional style radiator and tongue and groove latch doors open to the three bedrooms, each with traditional style radiators, and the bathroom.

The master bedroom has a window to the front with awesome aspects, an oak sill and recessed down-lights. There is ample space for wardrobes, drawer banks and night-stands, and the room has a wall-mounted television point.

Bedroom two also has a window to the front with inset window seat to enjoy the views, and recessed down-lights. Again, this double room has ample space for furniture, a television point and also an access point to the insulated loft.

Bedroom three is a good-sized room with side window and oak sill, and recessed down-lights.

The part timber-panelled bathroom has an opaque rear window, recessed downlights and wood-effect Karndean flooring. The traditional-style, four-piece white suite comprises a corner cubicle with subway-tiling and rainfall shower head, a roll-top claw-foot bathtub with telephone-style mixer tap and hand shower, a pedestal wash hand basin with up-stand and a high flush w.c. The wall-mounted mirror cabinet has a light above and the traditional style radiator has an integrated chrome heated rail to warm the towels.

The cottage is approached via a York stone flagged frontage with dry stone pillars and retaining wall having inset Iroko timber gates which open to the split-level stone flagged parking area for several cars and a raised seating space alongside which is ideal for container planting. The driveway leads to the detached, stone-built and insulated larger than average single garage with electronically controlled roller-shutter door, two personal doors, power, interior and exterior lights.

Beyond the garage, a lengthy lawn, with conifer and beech hedges to the sides, leads to the composite clad, insulated garden room with rubber roof, power and light. This perfect, peaceful retreat has wood-effect laminate flooring, recessed down-lighting, a wall mounted television point, a wall-mounted electric heater and the French doors open to a sun terrace.

From the drive, a further Iroko gate opens to the rear stone flagged terrace garden which provides a secluded seating and dining area lined by a stock fence and fuchsia hedging interrupted by a plum and an apple tree. A rendered outbuilding sits to the side and is accessed by a uPVC door plus two-steps down, has two side windows, power and light and has been used for both storage and as a gymnasium.

Across the road, a five-barred gate with attached single gate plus two further single gates give way to the lengthy paddock with a stock fenced and wired boundary inlaid with mature shrubs and rambling roses. The paddock has a secure timber hen cabin, an attached netted chicken run, a small-animal shelter, a store shed and a timber log store.
