Description
If you love traditional stone cottages, Hill Street in Summerseat might be perfect for you. This end stone cottage, dating back to around 1776, originally was built for the mill workers. At that time, the basement level would have housed workers, and the first and second floor, the management and their families. It offers the charm and quirkiness typical of such properties while being fully renovated to meet modern needs. Located in an elevated position on a no-through road, the property offers a unique warmth and cosiness, as described by the current owners who have owned it since 1999.
The cottage gives the impression of a bygone era externally. There's parking for two vehicles to the left, or you could extend the rear garden to create one parking space. York stone flags lead to the entrance. Inside, the living room features a stone fireplace that could be adapted to house a log burner. Exposed beams creates that traditional feel, while new carpets adorn the floor, and a staircase leads to the first floor, while a door opens to the kitchen.
The kitchen boasts an exposed stone wall, revealing the outline of the original stone staircase-a quirky feature rarely seen. The modern kitchen includes tiled flooring, a range of wall and base units with a contrasting worktop, downlights, a sink and drainer with a mixer tap, a duel fuel range-style oven and extractor fan, and space for a fridge and freezer, all illuminated by inset ceiling spotlights.
Descending to the lower level, guided by a stunning exposed stone wall, you find a bathroom with vinyl flooring, a heated towel rail, an extractor fan, and a three-piece suite comprising a bath, WC, and a hand wash basin with vanity. Back in the hallway, there's also a cupboard for a washing machine and a door leading to the rear garden.
Upstairs, there are two spacious double bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes.
Recent refurbishments include
- A new roof, with strap pointing and complete stone waterproofing
- Fully re plastered
- A new consumer unit
- A new 'Baxi' combi boiler
- LED downlights throughout
- New door casings and doors throughout
- New carpets
- New double glazing throughout
- New ceilings throughout
- A new kitchen
- A new bathroom suite
- Brick fireplace with exposed stone pointed wall in the basement level
- A new staircase allowing for better bedroom layouts.
The rear garden features views of woodland trees and the sound of the River Irwell nearby, enhancing the rural charm.
Local amenities within walking distance include Brooksbottom Cricket Club, East Lancashire Railway's Summerseat Station (with discounted passes for villagers), Summerseat Garden Centre with a deli, butcher, and cafe, two pubs, a convenience store, a sandwich shop, Summerseat Methodist Church, and Primary School. Despite its tucked-away location, the cottage offers easy access to the M66 motorway for commuting.
When we asked the current owners what they love about the cottage, they both instantly said 'the feel when you walk in' and we couldn't agree more. Also, when stood in the back garden, overlooked forestry and with the sound of the river, the only thing that topped it off was the sound of the steam train. Summerseat is by far one of the nicest places around.
Ideal for first-time buyers or those looking to downsize, this cottage is ready for its next adventure. To arrange a viewing, call or email .
