Cottage for sale in Brandwood Fold, Edgworth, Bolton BL7

Offered with no onward chain, this quaint cottage nestled into a secluded hamlet just a stone’s throw from central Edgworth has recently been tastefully refurbished to modern standards while retaining the period charm. A quick summary of the house includes a lounge and kitchen, two bedrooms and a shower room, small cottage gardens to front and rear, in addition to a garage. If you are looking for a period home that has a brilliant community on its doorstep while still having a real country feel, this one might be for you!

The Living Space

A handy entrance vestibule provides a home for coats and shoes kept neat and tidy and out the way, and leads into the front lounge which is as cosy as can be. The original beam work and exposed stone fireplace gives a real rustic yet homely feel, and a modern log burner is sure to give a lovely warmth and cosy glow on cold wintery days. The property is kept immaculate by the current owners, so you can move in knowing this is a property that has received plenty of love and care!

To the rear of the cottage is the kitchen, where integrated appliances include an electric oven and four plate hob, and sink with drainer and mixer tap where you can appreciate views of the open fields and nearby woodland scenery. Storage under the stairs doubles as a handy pantry, and the kitchen design is traditional and neutral, in keeping with the character.

Bedrooms & Bathroom

Upstairs the beautiful character continues, with exposed stone to the floor on the landing, and the master bedroom is an excellent size for a property of his nature. The master bedroom also showcases more beam work and a period window with an outlook to the front, and a feature fireplace with more exposed stone adds another rustic touch. The second bedroom to the rear is a single size, and would alternatively be a great office if you work from home, where again you can appreciate the lovely countryside scenery while getting through your workload.

The bathroom at 7 Brandwood Fold is a three piece shower room which comprises a walk in corner shower, wash basin and WC, and like every other space within this cosy character cottage it has been refurbished to contemporary standards without being too modern and out of character.

The Outside Space

Quite rare for a cottage like this, the property benefits from having a garage located at the front of the home. The garage provides sheltered parking for a small car, or alternatively offers a good amount of external storage. There are also two quaint areas to the front and rear, traditional cottage gardens which provide potential for adding splashes of colour via pots and beds, and enough space for a small table and two chairs to enjoy some time outside when the sun is shining.

The Location

This sought after village location provides countryside on your doorstep and the convenience of village amenities. You can roll out of bed for a stroll around the neighbouring Wayoh reservoir, and then stop at the Black Bull or Strawbury Duck for a hearty pub lunch! Perhaps pop into The Barlow, Edgworth’s Community Hub, to catch up with the friendly locals. Edgworth offers a number of village amenities, including several country pubs, restaurants, a local butcher, post office, pharmacy, hair and beauty salon, and the popular Holdens & Co village shop and ice creamery.

In addition to the Wayoh, Entwistle reservoir provides another option for local walks, as well as the surrounding Pennine Moors. Whether it’s walking, running, cycling, equestrian facilities, it’s all on your doorstep!
