Inside The Home This immaculately presented home offers far more than a typical three-bedroom detached property, it is a home rich in character, history, and family legacy.
Originally a cottage dating back to the 1800s, it sits within one of the oldest parts of Bolton-le-Sands, blending period charm with carefully considered modern living.
Upon arrival, you are welcomed through a beautiful double glazed UPVC front door into a useful porch, which then leads into the lounge.
The original cottage forms the heart of the home, comprising a welcoming lounge and dining area, along with the hallway providing access to the first floor, spaces that still retain a wonderful sense of the home’s history.
Throughout the home, beautifully chosen cottage-style double glazed windows enhance the character and charm, perfectly complementing the property’s heritage while providing modern efficiency.
Over the years, the property has undergone extensive refurbishment and has been thoughtfully extended twice to enhance both space and functionality.
The later additions have been seamlessly integrated, creating a spacious kitchen, utility area, ground floor WC, and a stunning sun room.
The sun room is a particular highlight, featuring two skylights and patio doors that open out onto the garden, filling the space with natural light and creating a perfect versatile room to enjoy indoor and outdoor living.
The current owners have maintained the property to an exceptional standard, with recent improvements including a central heating system, new windows, a new roof, updated flooring, and tasteful redecoration throughout.
The electrics have also been tested, and the staircase has been reconfigured to maximise space and access to the first floor.
To the first floor you will find three well-proportioned double bedrooms, ideal for growing families.
There is both a family bathroom, fitted with a three-piece suite, and a separate shower room with a corner shower adding practicality for busy households.
The generous landing area is currently utilised as a home office, demonstrating the flexibility of the space, while additional storage can be found throughout the home, including a loft area.
The first floor beautifully reflects the period origins of the property, offering a charming glimpse into its history while still catering to modern living.
This is truly a home with a story to tell a rare opportunity to own a slice of local heritage in a peaceful, semi-rural setting, yet within easy reach of everyday amenities.
Perfect for families, those looking to downsize without compromise, or buyers seeking something unique, this property will particularly appeal to those who appreciate character, history, and a home with genuine soul.
