About this property

    Tucked away in the peaceful, leafy folds of Oakenclough, at the entrance to the old Paper Mill, with a 3-car open drive to the front. This Cottage is a truly enchanting, as soon as you step into the front garden with the stone cottage with its beautifully mature garden it feels like a warm embrace. The cottage itself is full of character and quiet charm, this lovingly cared-for home offers approximately 1,421 sq ft of inviting living space.

    A large Garage building, with beautifully established gardens that border a gentle woodland stream.

    The heart of the home is the generous living and dining room, where exposed stone walls and a striking stone arch create a wonderfully atmospheric feel. A handsome open fireplace with wood-burning stove provides a cosy focal point, perfect for long evenings with the curtains drawn and the TV glowing above the mantel. Soft leather seating, rich rugs and thoughtful touches make the space both comfortable and full of personality. From here, double doors lead into the light-filled conservatory that opens the house to the front garden, flooding the rooms with natural light and offering leafy views in every direction.

    The kitchen is a traditional delight: Cream cabinetry, a classic range cooker, a deep Belfast sink and slate flooring all come together in a practical yet welcoming space. A feature stone chimney breast with a second wood burning stove. The utility room is adjacent to the kitchen and features live wood shelving complementing the downstairs cloak room/toilet helping to keep everyday life running smoothly.

    Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms offer restful retreats, with one featuring an elegant wooden four-poster-style bed and with adjoining full bathroom. A second bedroom benefits from an on suite, containing shower toilet and sink, offering a comfortable and practical arrangement. The third bedroom is at present used as a dressing room but is of a similar size as the other bedrooms.

    Outside, the gardens are a genuine joy. The rear garden opens to the stream giving a beautiful vista untouched and full of birds and wildlife. Mature planting, colourful borders, bird feeders these secluded areas create a private, wildlife-friendly haven.

    The lawn at the front is ideal for summer gatherings, while the nearby stream and surrounding woodland add a sense of timeless rural calm. A third area of garden is to the frontage adjacent to the stream.

    The substantial Garage outbuilding provides excellent additional storage or workspace and is approached via a characterful paved courtyard.

    Mill Cottage is more than a house - it is a family home a warm, character-filled retreat that combines traditional stone charm with comfortable modern living, all in a wonderfully peaceful corner of Lancashire. A special home for those seeking beauty, privacy and a strong sense of place
