Mayflower Cottages, Standish, Wigan, WN1 2UR

Tucked away on a quiet country lane on the edge of Standish village and having been sympathetically restored by the current owners, this cottage carefully balances character with comfort.

An original stripped pine entrance porch leads into the home, where you are immediately greeted by a welcoming atmosphere and a nod to the cottages history.

The front lounge centres around a beautiful, exposed brick fireplace with log burner, with a window framing view of the garden outside. To the rear lies the kitchen diner, the real heart of the house.

With beautiful original stone flooring running through the space.

A beautiful cast iron stove centres the kitchen, which is fitted with handmade Antique yellow pine cabinetry and Carrara marble worksurface, with Belfast sink and gas hob with integrated oven.

To the rear of the property, the stone floor flows into the dining area, which has been carefully extended, with new double glazed Velux window, recently fitted Worcester boiler and farmhouse door flooding this space in natural light and providing access to the first courtyard garden.

Upstairs, the master bedroom looks out over the garden and includes fitted wardrobes to keep the space clear and ordered.

The second bedroom, with a lovely cast iron fireplace, is generous enough for family or guests, with the added rarity of a third bedroom, which is perfect as guest bedroom or a home office.

The bathroom is spacious, fitted with a traditional three piece suite, with beautiful traditional tiling and solid wood pattern painted flooring.Outside, a rear courtyard garden with and brick outbuilding gives way to an expansive shared garden space, with a further mature private garden just beyond, complete with a summer house.
