Property description
One of only three properties accessed via a private driveway immediately behind St Cuthbert's Church, this extended cottage would benefit from some internal modernisation. The property was in the ownership of Lord Hesketh until 1993 when the current owners bought it, extending it and updating the windows, heating, wiring and kitchen, whilst retaining a number of original features such as internal doors, ceiling beams and fireplace with cast iron grate & oven in the living room.
The property may well suit a downsizer, or someone who would like the privacy afforded to the property by its position. The majority of the windows are hardwood double glazed, its is gas centrally heated and the accommodation briefly comprises: hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, utility room, three bedrooms and bathroom. Parking for a number of vehicles is laid out in front of the property, whilst the cottage garden is mainly laid to lawn with established shrub borders, shed and greenhouse.
Properties of this nature do not come on the market often, and internal inspection is recommended.
St Cuthbert's Road is located within the heart of Churchtown village, adjacent to St Cuthbert's Church. Set back from the road and accessible via secured, electronic & remote controlled iron gates, the cobbled & flagged driveway leads down to the cottage.
