Dating back to 1788, this beautifully presented three-bedroom cottage combines timeless character with modern luxury, set within approximately 1 acre of gardens and paddocks, with additional grazing rights over 1000 acres of stunning moorland. <br/> <br/>Whether you're dreaming of a smallholding, keeping livestock, or simply escaping to a peaceful rural retreat, this unique home offers the perfect balance of country living and contemporary comfort. Previously home to ducks, chickens and goats, the property provides an exceptional opportunity to embrace "the good life" whilst remaining within easy reach of local amenities. <br/> <br/>Positioned in a spectacular rural setting close to Whitworth village, the property enjoys breathtaking 360-degree views across open countryside, Lobden Golf Course and towards the Peak District. A popular village pub, countryside walks and golf course are all within walking distance. <br/> <br/>Inside, the cottage is filled with charm and character. Two multi-fuel stoves, a feature fireplace in the principal bedroom and original period details sit effortlessly alongside a recently installed kitchen featuring integrated NEFF appliances (still under warranty) and a stylish modern family bathroom. <br/> <br/>The accommodation comprises three generous double bedrooms, including built-in wardrobes to bedroom two and a walk-in dressing room to bedroom three. Spacious living areas are flooded with natural light, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout. <br/> <br/>Outside, the property truly comes into its own. The substantial garden, previously divided into three paddocks, features a tranquil pond, stream, courtyard sun trap and multiple seating areas from which to enjoy the exceptional views. Existing stable footings and extensive outdoor space offer further potential for equestrian or smallholding use. <br/> <br/>A double garage, cellar, porch and three outbuildings provide extensive storage, while the garage and outbuildings offer exciting scope for extension or conversion, subject to the necessary planning permissions. <br/> <br/>Located within the catchment area for Rossendale Grammar School and close to Whitworth School (Ofsted Good), this is a rare opportunity to acquire a character-filled rural home with land, views and lifestyle opportunities seldom found on the open market. <br/> <br/>Council Tax Band D<br/><br/>*ENQUIRIES*<br/><br/>For all enquiries, viewing requests or to create your own listing please visit the Emoov website.
