SOMETHING RATHER SPECIAL ... ENJOYING BREATHTAKING RURAL VIEWS TO BOTH THE FRONT & REAR, A NEW CONSERVATORY DINING ROOM PLUS A LUXURY SHOWER ROOM !. SET IN THE CENTRE OF A SHORT TERRACE SURROUNDED BY OPEN FIELDS IS THIS FREEHOLD STONE COTTAGE OF STYLE AND CHARACTER.

Approached from Bye Road in Shuttleworth Village close to the popular 'Fisherman's Retreat' you will discover this truly idyllic, two bedroom country home.

Considerably improved by the present owners over the last three years, the comfortable accommodation blends tasteful contemporary living, including shuttered double glazed windows within traditional Sandstone walls. Step through a bright entrance porch featuring a quarry-tiled floor into a spacious, front-facing living room where a multi-fuel stove with a rustic stone surround creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. The breakfast kitchen is centrally situated with a range of cream 'shaker' fitted units complemented by solid wood work surfaces and features an integral five ring hob, canopy hood and separate oven. Accessed from the rear of the kitchen is the recently added, PVCu double glazed conservatory. Constructed with a glazed, heat reflective roof this versatile space is used as a dining /sitting room and benefits from electric underfloor heating.

On the first floor, a spacious landing with a pull down ladder & hatch to the boarded loft, leads to both bedrooms and the shower room. The main, front double bedroom commands far reaching open views towards Holcombe Hill and has modern 'Wayfair' freestanding wardrobes. The rear, second bedroom is a large single with a shuttered, diamond leaded picture window also having delightful rural views. A shower room with W.C. completes the layout with a rectangular, double length enclosure inclusive of a dual head, plumbed-in, thermostatic controlled shower.

Of equal importance is outside space. Fronted by a new, black cast iron balustrade & gate is the elevated, paved front garden with ample space for seating to enjoy the views. At the rear, a secluded paved courtyard patio adjoins the conservatory with stone steps up to the upper paved seating area/patio. A gate then provides exit to the good size, rear drive with detached storage shed. A further storage shed is located across the rear access road with stunning hill views beyond.

Please note the directions carefully: Do not rely on sat-nav. From the A56 Whalley Road in Shuttleworth, turn onto Bye Road. At the base of Bye Road, opposite the park entrance, turn right following the signs for the Fisherman's Retreat. After approximately 400 yards, the road forks—ignore the left sign for the Retreat and proceed straight ahead. Climb the hill and turn first left onto Bury Old Road; the terrace is located on the right-hand side of the lane.
