House For Sale £350,000
Location From Darwen town centre leave on Bolton Road, turn right opposite the public house 'Spinners', turn immediate sharp left, follow the track and just before the main entrance gates to Astley Bank Hotel turn sharp left up the slight slope and continue ahead to Moorgate Cottages
additional points We are advised by the vendor that the property is Freehold. Any prospective purchaser should seek clarification from their solicitor. In addition, as with most rural properties, there is a septic tank, it serves the three houses in the row and it is serviced/cleaned every two years, the cost is paid by all three properties and equates to £70 every two years. The road/track to the house is maintained by six properties in total at a minimal cost (usually the odd pothole and the concrete section is very hard wearing).
A superb 19th century property constructed originally as a coach house serving the historic Astley Bank House, it is in a row of three converted houses situated in a secluded and private hamlet within easy reach of Moorland Walks. In our opinion it offers generous family sized living accommodation with opulent rooms and a wealth of original period features and pleasant and private outlooks from most windows. The accommodation briefly comprises: Entrance vestibule with impressive stained glass units, spacious entrance hall with original oak spindled balustrade, formal lounge with large window and feature beams to ceiling, sitting room/dining room with feature fireplace, fully fitted kitchen with gas 'Aga' cooking range, first floor, a stunning family shower room with quality fixtures and fittings, three bedrooms (two doubles and a generous single, the second floor has a large and bright work area and a spacious craft room originally used as a fourth bedroom. The current owners have lovingly maintained the property and have retained many original features, viewing is essential to fully appreciate. Benefits from PVC double-glazed windows new 2020 and gas central heating (boiler approximately 3 years old). Externally there are beautiful gardens to the front and rear, the latter is privately enclosed.
