Nestled within the scenic and peaceful leafy-green setting of Bury Fold, Darwen, at the foot of open countryside, this three-bedroom semi-detached cottage is a dream for those in search of a rural lifestyle without being too far removed from the conveniences of amenities and transport links. The house is presented in immaculate condition throughout, owing to significant recent investment from the current owners, while retaining the abundance of beautiful period character. A brief overview of the accommodation includes a large living room, dining room, kitchen, entrance vestibule, three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Externally the cottage benefits from gardens to both front and rear, as well as private parking for two cars.

Living Space - One of the most attractive aspects about this charming semi-detached cottage is the room sizes, which are considerably bigger than most! The main living room is a generous 7.3m long, spanning the full depth of the property from front to back which also means it has plenty of natural light streaming in from both sides. A stunning exposed stone feature walls holds the centre of this room and despite its cosy cottage character, there is a subtle sense of grandeur! Within the chimney breast sat atop a spacious hearth is a large log burner that is sure to pelt out warmth and give a cosy orange glow on cold wintery evenings. On warmer summer days, the French doors here open into the back garden and allow that desirable indoor-outdoor living.

Having only been recently installed, the kitchen is in pristine condition and was tastefully selected to complement the countryside feel, featuring shaker style cabinetry which complements the stylish Dekton worktop and the ‘Shaws of Darwen’ Belfast sink with brushed brass feature tap with instant boil functionality. Appliances include a Rangemaster cooker with five-ring gas hob, warming plate, two ovens, a grill, warming drawer, and matching extractor hood, plus an undercounter fridge, freezer and washer/dryer. Another practical aspect of the kitchen is the larder cupboard, and the part vaulted ceiling with remote-controlled Velux window continues the bright and airy feel.

The second reception room is also oozing with charming period character, featuring more exposed stonework and beams overhead. The current owners use this as a large study, though it would also be useful as a dining room adjacent to the kitchen.

Bedrooms & Bathroom - To the first floor are the three bedrooms and family bathroom. Like the living space downstairs, the accommodation is deceptively spacious considering its cosy cottage character. Two of the three bedrooms are good sized doubles with high quality contemporary wardrobes, and all three bedrooms boast lovely views overlooking the neighbouring woodland and open countryside. The third bedroom is currently used as a dressing area with an exercise bike and a good amount of eaves storage space; it would also be suitable as a handy home office!
