Features and description
- Freehold
Welcome to Moor Cottage – an individual, and beautifully renovated 2-bedroom detached stone cottage perched high in an idyllic rural spot with spectacular panoramic countryside views in all directions. The property is located in the quaint village of Affetside, Bury, and is presented in truly immaculate condition having never been lived in since its extension and renovation. If you are looking for a high-quality home where you can simply move in and unpack your bags, this one might just be for you!
In brief, this pristine property boasts a modern open plan living space, spacious utility with large storage closet, WC, master bedroom with comprehensive fitted furniture and en-suite, and a second bedroom and family bathroom. Externally, the property sits atop rolling green hills and is neighboured by open fields. The plot wraps around the property and is bordered by a restored traditional dry-stone wall. Curious for more? Let’s take a look at the finer details...
The Living Space
Be welcomed into this cosy and contemporary cottage via the spacious hallway which connects the downstairs living quarters. Where to peek first?
The open plan living invites you in with its fresh, bright and airy ambience owing to its brilliant bi-fold doors, big windows and vaulted ceiling with Velux pouring streams of natural light into the space. Bi-fold doors frame the countryside views like a picture on the wall, and a gas log burner sits within a central chimney breast holding the centre of the room – a traditional touch blending seamlessly with the contemporary finish. This lounge is a gorgeous space to sink into the sofa and unwind with your loved one. Whether it’s blue skies and sunshine with the doors swung open onto the patio in summer, or snow dusted hill tops and frosty fields with the fire offering a warming glow and inset ceiling mood lighting adding to the cosiness... The sights from here will be blissful year-round.
Next to the lounge is the fresh and contemporary kitchen, which benefits from a full range of top-quality integrated Caple appliances, including a large ‘gas on glass’ 5-plate hob, extractor hood with sense electric fan, electric oven and combination microwave, under-counter larder fridge, and dishwasher. A chrome Propure swan-neck tap with boiling and filter water capacity offers extra convenience, with a sink and drainer set flush within with the brilliant dark brown Quartz worktop. Modern minimalism style gloss cupboards with inset kickboard lighting brings it all together, and the inset kickboard lighting adds a beautiful shine to the the parquet/oak style lvt floor.
In addition to the top-quality kitchen, Moor Cottage provides the added benefit of a spacious utility, where the Caple appliances continue, including an integrated frost-free 50/50 fridge-freezer, 9kg-load washing machine, condenser tumble dryer, and a Carron-Phoenix inset sink and drainer with chrome swan-neck mixer tap and pull-out spray functionality – every possible handy feature has been thought of! From the utility an additional storage closet provides a place for all your miscellaneous bits and bobs, and the Worcester combi boiler and underfloor heating manifolds are also found here.
Before we stroll upstairs, the downstairs WC is situated conveniently just off the hallway and finished to the same pristine modern standards as the rest of the home.
The Bedrooms & Bathrooms
Feature inset stair lights lead the way upstairs to the sleeping and bathing quarters, where the master bedroom has superb views.
On one side of the master you can see all the way over to Liverpool and the north Wales mountains to the west, and on the other side of the room to the east are the rolling West Pennine Moors – it’s rare for a property to have vast views such as this, all of which can be appreciated while lying in bed! The master bedroom benefits from a modern 3-piece shower suite and is fitted with a comprehensive range of contemporary furniture, including wardrobes, drawers, and bedside tables.
A second bedroom is positioned on the opposite side of the landing, which would be perfect for a home office if a second bedroom isn’t required.
The main bathroom like the rest of the home is pristine, finished to a tasteful modern standard with tiling to the floor and walls, a chrome heated towel rail, and a 3-piece suite including bath, wash basin and WC.
