Riverside Cottage, Spring Grove, Lancashire, BB8 7HH

A stunning family home combining traditional features with modern living, a paradise for nature lovers and those who enjoy outdoors.

It has one of the finest gardens in the area and every room has a view that cannot be changed by development.

This property is a beautifully extended and modernised four bedroom detached cottage, idyllically positioned on the edge of Ball Grove Park and Nature Reserve, with direct access to scenic walking routes leading through to Wycoller Country Park.

The property was significantly enlarged in 2018, almost doubling its internal footprint, and now offers a generous and versatile layout that blends contemporary upgrades with charming original features, including exposed stonework and beams.

The ground floor centres around a stunning, newly fitted kitchen, designed with modern living in mind.

It features a large central island, extensive storage and sleek, high-quality units and appliances, all enjoying a pleasant outlook over the rear garden.

Adjoining the kitchen is a practical utility room, while the main reception room provides a warm and characterful space with its exposed stone and timber beams.

A dedicated dining room offers an ideal setting for family meals or entertaining, and a further room serves perfectly as a study/office or fifth bedroom, providing excellent flexibility.

The conservatory, now positioned at the rear of the property, has been upgraded with a solid, insulated roof, creating a comfortable year-round living space that flows naturally from the main living areas.

Completing the ground floor is a contemporary three-piece wet room.

The first floor comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a superb master suite with a stylish ensuite shower room and a dedicated dressing area.

A modern family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. Externally, the property occupies an impressive plot of approximately 0.5 of an acre.

A gated private driveway provides tandem parking for several vehicles, while the surrounding gardens include lawned areas, a natural stone boundary wall and a large polytunnel installed under permitted development, ideal for growing vegetables.

The property offers a very large log cabin with electric, currently used as a games room containing a full table tennis, with potential for conversion to residential or commercial use including a one bedroom annexe.

The property also benefits from CCTV and a fitted alarm system.

Practical improvements include a boiler which is approximately five years old, cavity wall insulation, a fully boarded loft and a completed drainage survey.

There is also excellent potential for further expansion, with scope to create up to two additional bedrooms subject to the relevant approvals.
