About
An impressive and truly unique 17th-century former weaver’s cottage, beautifully positioned in a fabulous countryside setting in Billinge.
Accessed via a private road, this charming home seamlessly blends historic character with modern living, having been thoughtfully extended over the years to create a spacious and versatile family residence.
The property boasts three generous reception rooms, offering flexible living and entertaining space, alongside a well-appointed kitchen, breakfast room, shower room and ground floor WC.
To the first floor, there are four bedrooms, one with access to an outdoor terrace, perfect for enjoying far-reaching views of the surrounding countryside and there is a generous four piece family bathroom.
The property has oil fired central heating and is mostly double glazed and there is ample off road parking as well as a spacious double garage.
Externally, the home is set within large, mature gardens that provide a high degree of privacy and a wonderful outdoor retreat for families and keen gardeners alike.
This delightful property is ideally located for those seeking a semi-rural lifestyle, yet remains conveniently close to the great range of local amenities in the nearby villages of Orrell and Billinge, and a highly regarded village pub, affectionately known as “The Foot” is close by for when a stagger home calls!
