This captivating stone built cottage rests in an idyllic spot on the banks of the Leeds Liverpool canal and affords private berthing rights and a large plot. Originally used as a canal side grain warehouse, the property once formed part of the Briars Hall estate and is believed to date back to the early 19th century, the flawless display of original features incorporate many of the elements you would expect in a home from this period.
Nestled in lovely spot at the end of a long private driveway, the property offers a real escape and internal inspection is simply a must, the accommodation was tastefully extended in the 1980’s and affords a flowing floor plan with over 1900 square feet of living space. Highlights include entrance porch, entrance hallway with solid oak flooring, cloaks/wc, lounge with oak flooring and stone built feature fireplace with a cosy cast iron wood burning stove. An attractive cottage style kitchen with an array of fitted units and rear access out onto the banks of the canal. The dining room is set at the end of the hallway and has through doors into the large main lounge which itself features dual aspects and a gorgeous stone built fireplace with open fire. The family bathroom offers a five piece suite with a sunken spa bath, wash hand basin, corner shower, W.C. and bidet. On the lower ground floor there are three good sized bedrooms and a cellar room for storage.
Outside the property has over 200 feet of private frontage onto the canal bank and offers the opportunity for further berthing rights (subject to the relevant permissions from the Rivers and Canal Trust). The well-kept gardens surround the house and include lawned areas with mature borders of plants, trees and shrubs. There is ample parking for at least five cars and a number of timber sheds. Although in a secluded rural position the property is within easy reach of local towns and villages and the area in general is extremely desirable with varying styles and types of prestige and rural homes, there is easy access to the motorway network with The M58 only a short drive away as well as the railway network with Burscough Station on hand.
