This charming detached cottage offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the tranquility of open countryside while being conveniently located at Meadowhead, between the sought-after village of Hoddlesden and the picturesque hamlet of Pickup Bank. The property enjoys easy access to nearby towns, with both the M65 and M66 motorways within comfortable reach. In our opinion it has been lovingly restored by the current owners, the cottage beautifully combines period character with modern comfort. Many of the original features have been thoughtfully enhanced to create a warm and welcoming home, perfectly positioned to make the most of stunning field views from most windows.

A practical porch/boot room provides excellent storage and leads into a spacious hallway with a feature staircase to the first floor. The elegant sitting room boasts a multi-fuel burning stove, creating a cozy retreat. The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area-a truly impressive space with bespoke fitted units, a large breakfast island, integrated appliances, and a vaulted ceiling. Aluminum bi-folding doors open out to the rear garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living and framing the beautiful countryside beyond. An inner hallway leads to a well-equipped utility room and a modern ground floor shower room. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms (all with fitted furniture) and a stylish, recently installed family bathroom complete with a roll-top bath and large walk-in shower. The property benefits from gas central heating and PVC double-glazed windows. Externally, the landscaped gardens have been designed for easy maintenance and to make the most of the peaceful rural setting. The rear garden features a porcelain-paved patio-perfect for entertaining-along with a large summer house/home office/entertainment hub. To the side is a small driveway leading to a spacious attached garage, while an additional driveway provides off-road parking for up to four vehicles. Viewing is strongly recommended!
