The Poplars, Hurstwood Village, Burnley

A picture-book cottage in the very heart of Hurstwood Village — dating back almost 200 years.

Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare. With only a handful of homes positioned within the actual village itself, The Poplars presents a once-in-a-generation chance to own a true piece of Hurstwood’s history.

Set just moments from the woodland trails and the iconic Hurstwood Reservoir, this charming two-bedroom cottage feels as though it has been lifted straight from the pages of a countryside novel.

Internally, the character is immediate and authentic. The living room centres around its original, fully working fireplace — a feature that instantly grounds the home in warmth and heritage. Exposed stonework, original wooden beams and natural wooden flooring combine to create a space that is both cosy and timeless.

The kitchen is beautifully fitted and thoughtfully designed, complete with integrated appliances and solid wood worktops — blending modern practicality with traditional charm.

To the first floor, there are two bedrooms and an immaculate fitted shower room, finished to a high standard while remaining sympathetic to the cottage’s character.

While the interior is undeniably special, it is the setting that truly sets The Poplars apart. A free-flowing stream runs gently outside the property — the kind of peaceful soundtrack you simply cannot replicate. Step outside your door and you are immediately immersed in woodland walks, open countryside and reservoir views. It is a lifestyle as much as a home.

Externally, there is access to a communal parking area along with a shared storage shed, offering practical convenience alongside rural beauty.

Affordable opportunities within Hurstwood Village itself are few and far between. For those seeking charm, character and an unrivalled countryside setting — this is something truly special.

We enter the property through a UPVC front door into a welcoming entrance porch.

The porch itself immediately sets the tone — featuring a vaulted ceiling with two Velux roof windows flooding the space with natural light, alongside a UPVC double-glazed window and a further UPVC double-glazed door providing access through into the main living area. There’s also a feature light fitting, creating a bright yet cosy first impression.

Stepping into the lounge, you’re instantly met with warmth and character. Solid wood flooring runs throughout, complemented by two UPVC double-glazed windows — one of which is a traditional sliding sash — adding to the cottage charm.

The room is centred around the original, fully working fireplace — a true focal point with a marble surround and tiled hearth. Original ceiling beams, exposed stonework within one of the alcoves, and the overall proportions of the room make this a space absolutely rich in history and personality. There’s also a central heating radiator and access through to the kitchen.

Moving into the kitchen, you’ll find a beautifully fitted cottage-style shaker kitchen with cream wall and base units, finished with solid wood worktops. A classic Belfast sink sits beneath the window, alongside a four-ring gas hob with extractor over, electric oven, integrated dishwasher, and integrated washing machine.

There’s a breakfast bar area for informal dining, tiled splashbacks, a central heating radiator, and a UPVC double-glazed window bringing in further natural light. An open staircase rises to the first floor, and there’s also a useful storage cupboard housing the consumer unit, along with a smoke alarm fitted.

Heading upstairs, the first-floor landing provides access to both bedrooms and the bathroom.

The principal bedroom is positioned to the front of the property and is a comfortable double. It benefits from two UPVC double-glazed windows offering fantastic views across Hurstwood and the stream running in front of the home. There is built-in furniture, a central heating radiator, and a wall-mounted TV point.

Bedroom two sits to the rear and can accommodate a small double bed. It also features built-in furniture, a storage cupboard housing the combi boiler, one central heating radiator, a UPVC double-glazed window, and a wall-mounted TV point.

The bathroom is finished to an immaculate standard and comprises a three-piece suite, including a walk-in double shower with feature shower head unit, wash basin and WC. The room is fully tiled and benefits from spotlights, extractor fan, and a heated towel rail.

Externally, to the front of the property, there is a charming courtyard laid with Indian flagstone. A gated entrance and hedge border provide definition and privacy, while open views across Hurstwood complete what is truly a special setting.
