<p>A beautifully refurbished stone-built period cottage with breathtaking open views over Rivington, set on approximately 0.3 acres of land — now available with no onward chain.</p><p>Tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of Major Bottoms in Anderton, this charming 18th-century cottage offers a rare opportunity to live on the doorstep of the Rivington countryside — an area of outstanding natural beauty and a true haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Whether it’s hiking across Rivington Pike, cycling the local trails, or paddleboarding at the nearby Anderton Centre, the area offers something for everyone. Just a short walk away is the ever-popular Rivington Brewery Tap, known for its relaxed atmosphere, rotating selection of craft beers, great food and regular events — making this location not just picturesque, but sociable too.</p><p>Despite the peaceful setting, you're just minutes from a wide range of local amenities in Adlington and Horwich. Both towns offer an excellent mix of independent shops, cafes, restaurants, supermarkets and leisure facilities. Adlington train station provides regular direct services to Manchester and Preston, while the nearby M61 makes commuting by car equally convenient. Excellent schools and medical services are also close at hand, making this an ideal base for families and professionals alike.</p><p>Internally, the property has been tastefully refurbished throughout and is presented in excellent, move-in-ready condition. It currently serves as a spacious two-bedroom home, though it was originally a three-bedroom layout and could easily be reconfigured with the reinstatement of a stud wall in the 6.27m-wide master bedroom. The accommodation includes two reception rooms, a stylish newly fitted kitchen, and a well-appointed bathroom featuring an original cast iron bath — a rare and characterful touch. The home benefits from a combi boiler installed approximately four years ago, which has been regularly serviced, and the electrics have been updated including new wiring and the rectification of any historic irregularities.</p><p>Externally, the property is just as impressive. The front garden is neatly landscaped with a traditional stone wall, paving, and mature planting beds. To the rear, the home sits on approximately one third of an acre and enjoys stunning open views over the Rivington hills. There is vast potential for further development or extension (subject to planning), along with a generous lawn, patio seating area, and space to grow your own. A rear driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles, and there are two detached single garages, both with power.</p><p>Homes like this in such a special location seldom come to market. With no onward chain, a modern finish throughout, and direct access to one of Lancashire’s most desirable landscapes — this is one not to be missed.</p>
