Full Details for 4 Bedroom Semi-Detached for sale in Chorley, PR7 :


The saying goes that one should never judge a book by its cover, and whilst the cover of this delightful semi-detached cottage has no doubt been cast many admiring glances by passers-by, it simply cannot do justice to the size of the accommodation on offer, which includes two spacious reception rooms plus a sunroom, four bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms, as well as a number of other surprises which one wouldn’t often associate with a property of this type, including a pretty rear garden and a detached garage. Once inside, one cannot fail to be enchanted by the bountiful character features and charming period detail which are so prevalent throughout, and synonymous with a bygone era of tradition and heritage, whilst the well proportioned living accommodation measures circa 1,610 square feet, large enough to trump many of its detached counterparts, and cleverly arranged over three inviting levels.

This beautiful home brims with personality and charm and, as the address suggests, occupies a most pleasant position adjacent to the village green within the centre of Eccleston, a highly desirable and thriving village with so much to offer the family. Resting beside the River Yarrow, Eccleston was formally an agricultural village with a rich history stretching back many hundreds of years, being first mentioned in the Doomsday book in 1086. These days, of course, the village has developed considerably and offers outstanding amenities to rival a small town, with an array of shops available within the Carrington Centre, whilst high performing schools could not be any more conveniently located, such as Eccleston St. Mary’s Church of England Primary School, which is directly opposite the property, and Eccleston Primary School, which is also within easy reach, as is the M6 motorway for those who require an easy commute to surrounding towns and cities. 

One enters the property via the entrance porch and continues into the reception hallway with its staircase to the first floor, proceeding through into the 12’ lounge, which epitomises what this home is about, filled with beautiful period features, including parquet flooring and a simply stunning open fireplace, with a wooden carved surround and decorative tiling, whilst modern appointments are sympathetically and seamlessly blended with the old, such as the uPVC double glazed sash-style windows. The 13’ dining room has an impressive open fireplace of its own, brick-built with a stone hearth, and provides an ideal space for those family dinners or intimate evening soirees, with the dual aspect windows affording an abundance of light, which includes uPVC double glazed French doors which open directly onto the garden, which will be invaluable in the summer months, whilst the adjoining 13’ kitchen has a real country-style feel, fitted with a range of wall and base units in handmade solid pine with contrasting grey granite work surfaces, and incorporating a traditional Belfast sink and Rangemaster cooker with extractor canopy. 

The addition of the 12’ sunroom with its stone flagged floor has provided additional flexibility to the accommodation, being a real retreat in which to relax and unwind whilst enjoying the pretty aspect over the rear garden, whilst there is a handy off-lying utility room and a two piece cloakroom/WC. If one ventures up to the first floor, three of the well proportioned bedrooms will be revealed, as well as the main family bathroom, which is luxuriously spacious and fitted with a traditional four piece suite in classic white, comprising of WC, pedestal wash hand basin, free-standing claw foot bath and separate shower cubicle, whilst the 17’ master bedroom is located to the second floor, and a perfect retreat for mum and dad, with a bright dual aspect and a private three piece en-suite shower room. 

Externally, the property has a low maintenance frontage, whilst secure off-road parking is available within the detached single garage, which is accessed via the lane to the side of the property. The enclosed rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, with mature trees and shrubs to the perimeter, as well as a water feature, whilst there is a good-sized timber decked area which cannot fail to impress those with a penchant for al-fresco dining. We would highly recommend an internal inspection to appreciate the size of the accommodation on offer.
