SEE THE VIDEO TOUR FOR THIS HOME
Welcome to 4a Nelson Street, a deceptively spacious and beautifully updated period home located in the heart of Horwich. Thoughtfully modernised while retaining its cottage-style charm, this four-bedroom property offers versatile living across three floors, with a unique history, a cosy multi-fuel stove, and a converted basement adding incredible flexibility to the layout.
Character, Space, and Modern Comfort
Originally The Sawyers Arms, a 19th-century pub, this charming home now offers over 1,140 sq. ft. of stylish living space. Step through the front door into a warm and inviting living room, made all the more atmospheric by its recently restored fireplace and modern multi-fuel burner - perfect for those cosy evenings in.
To the rear, the open-plan kitchen and dining room is ideal for everyday family life or entertaining, with space for a dining table and excellent natural light.
Brilliantly Versatile Basement Conversion
One of the standout features of this home is the fully converted lower ground floor, offering a generous additional living room, a fourth double bedroom, a contemporary shower room, and a separate storage area. The space also showcases original features including an exposed stone wall and wooden ceiling beams - adding warmth, history, and character. Whether used as a guest suite, teenage retreat, or home office setup, this level dramatically enhances the home’s flexibility and appeal.
Three Bedrooms Upstairs and a Spacious Bathroom
The first floor is home to three further bedrooms and a surprisingly spacious family bathroom. Unlike many homes of this style, you’ll find all bedrooms well proportioned, providing flexibility for families, guests, or those working from home.
A Sunny, Two-Tier Garden With Flexibility
To the rear, a two-tiered garden offers both sunshine and adaptability. The current owners added a gate at the bottom of the garden to create a secure, child-friendly play area, making it a perfect outdoor space for families. This lower tier could be easily reconfigured to offer off-road parking if desired, giving future owners the freedom to tailor the space to their needs. Whether for relaxing, entertaining, or practical use, the garden is a real sun trap and a fantastic extension of the living space.
A Friendly Community and Beautiful Surroundings
Set in a friendly neighbourhood with a village feel, the property is within walking distance of Horwich town centre and the stunning countryside walks around Rivington. Local pubs, cafés, nurseries, and schools are all nearby, making this a fantastic location for families.
Well Connected and Convenient
With easy access to the M61 motorway, good bus and train links, and Middlebrook Retail Park just a short drive away, this location offers the best of both worlds - peaceful village living with excellent convenience and connectivity. Manchester is also easily reachable for work or leisure.
A Home With History and Heart
This home combines the charm of a period property with the flexibility of a modern layout - ideal for buyers seeking character, space, and location. With its unique heritage, exposed original features, and thoughtful upgrades, 4a Nelson Street is ready to welcome its next chapter.
