Built circa 1669, this delightful home seamlessly blends traditional features with modern convenience, making it an ideal retreat for buyers seeking a unique and tranquil setting. The property is beautifully positioned within the heart of the village, with a scenic brook meandering through the grounds and a picturesque bridge adding to its idyllic charm. Despite its peaceful surroundings, Wheelton is well-connected, offering easy access to nearby towns such as Chorley and Leyland. Excellent transport links include convenient bus routes, Chorley train station just a short drive away, and swift connections to the M61 and M65 motorways, making it an ideal location for commuters. The village itself boasts local shops, countryside pubs, and scenic walking routes, perfect for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits.

Stepping inside, you are welcomed into a bright entrance hall, with a convenient WC located towards the end. The ground floor unfolds into a spacious lounge/diner that spans most of the floor’s footprint, offering a wonderfully inviting space. The lounge area exudes warmth with its dual-aspect windows that fill the room with natural light, feature stone walls, and a striking stone fireplace that serves as a cosy focal point. The dining area is equally charming, with French doors that open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. For added convenience, there is also under stair storage located just off the dining area and lounge. The kitchen continues the country-style theme, fitted with traditional cabinetry and integrated appliances, including a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and oven. An additional vestibule provides access to the driveway, ensuring practicality alongside its rustic charm.

Ascending to the first floor, you will find two well-proportioned double bedrooms. The master bedroom offers ample space, allowing for a potential dressing area, while the second bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, maximising storage. The shower room serves both bedrooms, fitted with modern fixtures while maintaining the cottage’s character.

Externally, this home offers a truly special setting. A gated driveway provides parking for up to five cars, positioned alongside the tranquil brook, with the charming bridge adding to the property’s unique appeal. A front garden further enhances the kerb appeal, offering a welcoming first impression. To the rear, a secluded garden awaits, featuring a dedicated seating area and a separate lawn, all enclosed by mature hedging for added privacy. This outdoor space provides a serene retreat, perfect for enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
