2 bedroom cottage

Council tax band: E

Situated close to the centre of the Ribble Valley village of Hurst Green, this Grade II Listed, historic character cottage now requires full renovation but offers superb potential. The property, believed to be one of the oldest in the village, enjoys an excellent position with gardens bordering the brook and additional woodland space opposite which includes space for off-road parking and a former detached garage. Full of charm with plenty of original features such as beams and trusses, mullion windows and oak panelling, the property provides an excellent opportunity for someone looking to restore the house to its former self.

Hurst Green lies around 15 minutes" drive from Clitheroe and 10 minutes from Whalley, both of which provide a host of amenities and services along with a train link to Manchester and beyond.
