This superb two-bedroom GROUND FLOOR apartment at Hatters Croft offers an excellent opportunity for those seeking a comfortable home in a highly convenient location.
Ideally situated just a stone’s throw from the town centre, the property enjoys the best of both worlds — close proximity to shops, cafés, and restaurants, yet tucked away from the hustle and bustle of busy streets.

Nestled between the picturesque River Cocker, home to local wildlife including a resident heron, and the Bowling Green, with charming views of All Saints Church, this property offers not only comfort and practicality but also the chance to enjoy the natural beauty of the surroundings.

Please make your own enquiries as to when the Holding Deposit can be repaid to you and when it can be retained by Grisdales.
Should the tenancy commence, unless the tenant advises otherwise in writing, it is agreed that the amount of the Holding Deposit will be deducted from the first payment of rent.
